What do you think of the Melange festive collection?

Taapsee Pannu: The Melange festive collection has many versatile pieces and is perfect for many occasions. The ensembles in the collection celebrate the season’s  trends like intricate gold detailing, zari and sequin embroideries and accents of bright colours. In fact, the entire collection has a very festive vibe. I like to experiment  with my looks, and I love the creative freedom this collection gives me. Though I am partial to the entire collection, the ensemble I wore for the fashion show is one of my  favourites. It is perfect for the festive season and I can see myself wearing it on several occasions.

Taapsee Pannu: Melange is a contemporary ethnic wear brand by Lifestyle that inspires and complements the sensibilities of the modern woman, who has a distinct  sense of style. It is all about reinventing ethnic wear. I cherish my association with Melange and look forward to anything new that the brand comes up with. I think it’s  because I truly believe in the brand ethos and the fact that I love the ensembles is what makes our journey together even more special.
