Ambani Venice Show: Nita’s Anamika Khanna sari & Wallace Chan gems
Nita Ambani and Isha Ambani dazzle at the India Pavilion in Venice, pairing Anamika Khanna couture with Wallace Chan jewelry as India showcases its craft on the world stage.
The Nita Mukesh Ambani Cultural Centre partnered with the Ministry of Culture, Government of India, to present the India Pavilion at the Venice Biennale, a prestigious international art exhibition. To mark this momentous occasion, Nita Ambani, founder of NMACC, chose a custom Anamika Khanna sari, while her daughter Isha looked lovely in an ivory blouse with a long silk skirt. Decoding the Ambanis’ Biennale style, the matriarch styled five yards of chiffon-georgette with a lace blouse featuring hand-embroidered Banarasi motifs, along with an intricately hand-woven Butidar Sozni shawl by Swadesh. However, it was the accessories that stole the spotlight, as usual. The Reliance Industries Chairperson accessorised her look with Wallace Chan earrings — statement pieces sculpted from rosewood and embodying “love, compassion, and spiritual wisdom,” with blooming titanium roots embellished with gemstones, “carrying the calm of a sapphire and the other the passion of a ruby.” Her look could only be described as a celebration of art, culture, and craftsmanship on one of the world’s greatest stages. Isha, fresh off her Met Gala appearance, kept it chic and elegant in an ivory blouse and emerald Banarasi skirt with golden brocade embroidery. The full-sleeve high-collared top was balanced with a high-waisted skirt that added structure yet fluidity to the look. View this post on Instagram A post shared by India in Venice (@indiainvenice).
