The sixth edition of BMW India Bridal Fashion Week 2014 in association with AZVA at DLF Emporio, New Delhi on Day 1 saw a magical collection from the czar of haute couture, Tarun Tahiliani in celebration of the Global Indian.
The arena was packed and viewers were welcomed by a spectacular sight of a fully lit up Rashtrapati Bhavan, through a projector.

From textured salwars, dhoti pants, Patiala salwars and non-conformist pair of trousers to gilded amour choli, vest coats and anarkali kurtas. Every ensemble looked distinctive.

On his association with BMW India Bridal Fashion Week, Tarun said “It’s been a privilege to associate with BMW and the Bridal week, both of whom have brand values of high luxe, high design and infuse design with technology, as do our clothes, so people feel as good as they
