Radhika Merchant, Mukesh Ambani and Nita Ambani’s choti bahu, has an impeccable sense of style that speaks modern sophistication and how. She is subtle yet opulent, graceful yet uber cool. At the star studded Vivienne Westwood’s debut fashion show at the Gateway of India, Mumbai, the stars came down in all dressed the English style. But one person who stole the spotlight was Radhika Merchant.
A sartorial spectacle against the background of sea, the show’ aristocratic aesthetic spread all over with Merchant at its centre and how.
Radhika Merchant exudes a regal aura one look at a time. For her latest OOTD, she wore an archival piece off the shelves of Vivienne Westwood’s 1990-91 collection.
Vivienne Westwood’s 1990-91 ‘Portrait’ collection is one of her most important collections, the collection marks a lot of firsts for Vivienne! It was the first appearance of the famous Vivienne Westwood Boucher corset.
The Portrait collection of 1990/91 was dedicated to the richness of eighteenth-century oil painting – drawing directly from the decorative universe of the Wallace Collection. ‘Portrait was a turning point,’ reflects Alexander Fury. ‘Sensuous and escapist, it set Vivienne Westwood on a new course for almost a decade’. For the first time, Vivienne reproduced a painting on a piece of clothing, choosing ‘Daphnis and Chloe’ by François Boucher, 1743-5.
