5 Reasons why Tarun Tahiliani’s Chikankari Collection is LOVE!

Tarun Tahiliani and I are similar in many ways. We are Sindhis, plump and have an eternal love for the timeless chikankari. There is some undeniable magic in this 400-year-old embroidery style. The designer is smitten with chikankari and often features the Lucknowi embroidery in his couture. He recently launched some lehengas, sherwanis and anarkalis in chikankari and I absolutely love it! “Our love affair with chikankari started 20 years back on a random visit to Lucknow. Apparently, fashioned into an artwork by Noor Jahan. This technique feels like a second skin and in the last two decades, it has been like two evolutions.” says the designer on a detailed Instagram post. Presenting to you, Tarun Tahiliani’s chikankari collection in soft hues-
