Masaba Gupta

He showed 3 hot trends:
a) Candy Colors: the cool candy colors are complimenting each other. The yellow on pink looks luscious! Get this trend in anarkali.
b) Black & Gold on Skin: But to make it look bewitching, throw in a combination of sexy black, sheer lace and glittering gold and you have a winter! Get this trend in saree.
c) Patels On White: Nothing sets off stark white better than cool summery pastels. Use of pastel palette on the borders enhances the grace of saree. Get similar style in salwar kameez.
