Threads of silk and gold are intricately hand-embellished on translucent tulles and diaphanous organzas in this luxurious Autumn Winter Collection by Pankaj & Nidhi for 2020. The patterns are drawn from ornamental forms of flora, inspired by French Court Textiles of the 17th century.  The color palette ranges from blushing peach and seashell pinks to mineral blues and hints of mint. A fresh combination of crimson and misty pink lends a fresh and festive air to the collection. Silhouettes offer a classic canvas for the delightfully detailed embellishments that the brand is so well known for –  gorgeous full-length skirts and lehengas, jackets in the waist and midi lengths, feminine halter neck blouses with flowing pants, romantic sheer blouses with voluminous sleeves, and a melange of irresistibly wearable separates.   Each item makes for a precious and sophisticated addition to the wardrobe by being effortlessly stylish and timeless.  Each piece has been designed to be a poème de fleurs, poetry in flowers –  Welcome to Fleuressence!
