Bridal wear, unlearned

The Story

Anaya Rao, in her own words.

The couturier-in-training putting a pink dupatta on the ghost of every 90s bridal campaign.

“Pink was never mine until I stopped apologising for wanting it.”

— Anaya Rao

Q01

Your least favourite bridal cliché?

— That the woman has to look scared. Every 90s bridal shoot has this frightened doe energy. We're grown, we chose this — let us look like it.
