JJ Vallaya's stuck to his evergreen bridal attires which would be as relevant in 17th century as they are today ;)

Inspired by the opulence of the Ottoman empire every single piece of garment can be passed on to the next generation as a family heirloom.

Vallaya appears to have used lot of fabric patterns and embroidery from the 16th and 17th century Ottoman empire. See some fabric samples below.The second outfit on the pic above has embroidery which is a dead ringer for the the pattern on the right pattern on the right in the image below.

Well what can I say in Fashion history repeats itself, sometime after 300-400 years later. All the more reasons to preserve and pass on your bridal trousseau ladies, it might just back in vogue couple of centuries later!!

Trivia- Do you know about a very important woman who linked India and the erstwhile Ottoman empire?

HIH Princess Durru Shevar was the Imperial Princess of Ottoman Empire, her father was the last Heir apparent of Imperial Ottoman throne.

Princess Durru Shevar was married to Prince Azam Jah, the eldest son and heir of the last Nizam of Hyderabad State, Osman Ali Khan, Asif Jah VII,who in his time was The Richest person in the world!
