With Diwali just around the corner, festivities can be felt in the air. The celebration is incomplete without dressing up in our ethnic best. Ace fashion designer Anita Dongre has now come up with something new for the Festival of Lights.
She has collaborated with American toy company Mattel, designing the first-ever Diwali-themed outfit for their limited-edition signature Barbie doll. Anita Dongre dropped a picture on Instagram featuring the Barbie Diwali doll. The iconic figurine was made to wear a traditional lehenga set with a contemporary twist, known as the Moonlight Bloom.
The ensemble came in a rich navy blue colour palette. Anita Dongre's Barbie wore a sleeveless Rajasthan-inspired coatee and pichwai embroidered blouse. The intricately decorated skirt was adorned with lotus, dahlia and jasmine motifs at the hem in multi-hued shades, symbolic of nature elements.
Geometric patterns at the bottom offered a unique twist.
