Okay, for one: who doesn’t love anything to do with love? So, the moment we heard that Anita Dongre’s Summer-Resort 2016 collection was titled Love Notes, we should’ve known that we were going to heart it.
Let’s start from the very beginning (it’s a very good place to start) The floral ceiling hangings and the floating clouds in the backdrop all contributed to the dreamy feeling of summer’s arrival. And then there was a sea of white. Men clad in smart, all-white ensembles that were light, stylish and comfortable took to the ramp. This was soon followed by a burst of colours in womenswear. The ramp came alive with the bright hues of hot pink, sage green and candy yellow and of course stunning blue. It also featured Anita’s signature gota-patti and resham embroidery. What’s not to love?

And then the beauty…
We also spotted flowers in the hair coupled with the most amazing braids all props to genius Namrata Soni with her team, including Arti Nayar. I mean seriously, wow. Here’s another from backstage:
And then, as if our hearts could handle anymore, Sonakshi Sinha came out with all guns blazing and gave everyone a lesson or three on how to be a showstopper.
What a way to end Day 3. Honestly, I might need some time to take in and recover from all the prettiness. What can we say? Anita really knows how to tug at our heartstrings.
