MUMBAI: We are hard-wired to red. There is no other colour that is so fundamental. It’s the colour of life and action, the chromatic equivalent of a lipsticked kiss.  White, on the other hand, signifies peace and tranquillity. It goes without saying, red and white is one of the most appealing combinations in the fashion industry.

While we have seen fashionistas playing with these solid colours, Kratika takes the unconventional route but giving her outfit a bolder twist with black. Draped in white pleats with shimmer and a red pallu, Kratika pairs a black blouse with a design in red colour which matches her pallu.

Kratika accessorizes herself with black kada and bangles and this can be an apt evening wear occasion or a casual candle light date. Take a look:

How much of an inspiration is this look from Kratika’s ethnic wardrobe?
