Ethereal, bohemian, emotive and non conforming through understated glamour and elegance are some of the few unvarnished ways in which one could describe Aikeyah. The label which is Isha Dhingra’s brainchild, in years of its existence, has managed to blur the lines between prét and couture. The in-between is a sartorial approach to design ensembles which find the sweet spot taking an unpretentious approach to couture. Cotton, sheers, subtle embroideries, unassuming silhouettes and florals form the spine of Aikeyah. Stories from History, art, literature, human psychology and travel find their way into the collections inconspicuously in the form of inspiration.
