Market leaders and some new contenders brought their ‘A’ game to this year’s lawn production. From billboards to catalogues, TV advertisements to hyped up social media posts, nothing seemed to be left behind. Exotic locations, beautiful models and actresses, video snippets, launch parties, giveaways and more- everything was well thought of.
We saw a lot of bright colours, tons of pretty designs, oodles of embroidery and a mix of silk and chiffon dupattas to go with the lawn suits. Edging their way in are knee high short shirts with flared pants and the occasional spotting of shalwars. Here’s a rating of which designer lawn caught our attention at Brides & You.
