When it comes to summer fashion, bright shades and lighter fabrics rule the fashion runway and real-life streets and one designer who knows how to blend real and reel life and creates extraordinary 
creations is Varun Bahl. Varun’s work marries the beauty of heritage Indian handcrafted embroideries with a modern colour sensibility. And his latest Spring Summer Collection 2021, is a blend of the past and the present and is called A Mid-Summer Dream. The collection is inspired by the grandeur of South Asian heritage seamlessly amalgamated with the blissful shades of summer.
The vibrant colour palette comes together with 
resplendent traditional motifs to tell a story that is woven using timeless methods and techniques of South Asian patrimony.
From the floral motifs to the prepense meandering of lines – the patterns, prints and embellishments speak exceedingly about the intricacy of work that each garment showcases, and the mystical paradise they create, re-imagined with the awe-inspiring hues of 
the season.
Varun is known for the lightness of his fabrics and not overloading them with heavy embellishments. He has been dubbed the couturier of flowers because of his love for floral motifs that he explores in each of his collections—whether couture or ready-to-wear—via embroideries, weaves, and prints.
For Varun, every collection begins with the technique he wishes to highlight in the collection, because everyone knows his love for embroideries and that also happens to be one of the USPs of the designer label. Next, for him is the pattern-making and these two elements together creating the base of his imagination that further transforms into an elaborate collection, where colours 
define uniqueness and timelessness. As Varun says, everyone collection on paper and in reality are two different things, but I try to create a balance and make sure that they merge together and result in a madness that is irresistible for any fashion lover, who swears by authenticity and creativity.
Varun, as a creative soul believes that creating and designing is as important as breathing for him and in this process, travelling plays a key role that helps him absorb and give wings to his creativity.
