AMRITSAR: LOVE

Combining modernity and tradition

From Patiala salwars to farsi salwars, Punjabi women know their fashion and how! They have always been the power dressers, combining modernity and tradition. Minny Sandhu, a traditional Punjabi/Indian designer label helmed by Amritsar-based designer Minny Sandhu, launched a new spring/summer collection called Fursat. The rich, lawn and premium cotton-based collection of suits, formal-wear, pret, formals, cord sets and Indian-wear promises high fashion, which weaves traditional Punjabi embroideries and pastel love, a perfect combination for the summer. A preview of the collection was recently held at her outlet in Ranjit Avenue with the who’s who of the Amritsar fashion circle in attendance. More than fashion, Sandhu shared that it was a tribute to the women in her family, who had always dressed up to elevate their style and status of Punjabi traditional attire.
