My Handpicked Festive Favorites
These are the pieces that started it all for Wasabi. A collection of my personal favorites that blend fluid, breathable fabrics with traditional craftsmanship for effortless festive dressing.
This is what I design for: pure joy and movement. Our lightweight brocade lehenga skirt and jacket let you celebrate without feeling weighed down, perfect for dancing all night at a sangeet.
Here is a closer look at one of my favorite combinations. The copper brocade skirt has a beautiful flow, and pairing it with a matching brocade jacket and bralette creates a modern, chic look for any wedding event.
I love working with rich, vibrant colors for the wedding season. This deep purple silk kurta set, with its delicate gold embroidery and matching dupatta, is designed to be both comfortable and absolutely stunning.
My brocade jackets are one of our most versatile pieces. Here, I've styled a beautiful jacket over a simple black dress to create an elegant evening look, showing how easily you can mix traditional craft with modern style.
For summer weddings, I believe in elegance that breathes. This cream Chanderi suit is a perfect example, with its light fabric and delicate hand embroidery that feels special but never heavy.
Festive dressing can be easy and breezy. My kaftans are designed for just that, offering a relaxed, flowy silhouette in beautiful prints that are perfect for parties and intimate gatherings.
I am so proud to work with our talented karigars. These hand block printed organza dupattas are a new addition, and each one is a unique piece of art, showcasing the beauty of sustainable, handcrafted fashion.
This fuchsia pink dress is crafted from luxurious handwoven brocade silk. It’s a simple, straight-cut dress with side slits, making it a wonderful choice for cocktail parties or Diwali celebrations where you want to shine.
About Featured
When I pull these pieces for this collection, I am not just looking at the embroidery or the fabric. I am thinking about the sangeet floor, the Diwali dinner, or the long wedding day ahead. Everything here is designed to move with you, not against you. My goal is simple: you should be the most comfortable person in the room without sacrificing an ounce of elegance.
Why choose between looking festive and being comfortable? This collection brings together my favorite silk kurtas, brocade skirts, and easy kaftans—all designed for the reality of the Indian wedding season. We work closely with our karigars to ensure every hand-placed Zari or French knot detail feels personal. If you are heading to a sangeet, try our brocade lehenga skirts. They give you the volume without the heavy can-can that weighs you down. If it is a more casual Diwali dinner, look at our fluid kurta sets. You will notice we use pure silk, Chanderi, and breathable cotton-silk blends because you cannot look your best if you feel stifled. And yes, almost everything has pockets, because I truly believe function and fashion should coexist in every wardrobe.
Wasabi
Hi, I am Shilpa. At Wasabi, we believe your clothes should adapt to you, not the other way around. I created these pieces because I was tired of fashion that made us feel constricted, so everything you see here is designed to let you breathe, move, and enjoy your celebration.
