"I love that this dress is Indian and global at the same time. keeping in mind the theme, I decided to shop from my own wardrobe to style it . The Manish Arira Corest I wore it with is almost 18 years old, and I remember how excited I was to own a piece of the designer's mad, Indian eclectic design. The dress was the perfect minimal canvas against which to highlight its sheer beauty."
