The gown brought together Kashmiri aari, zardozi, dori and marodi work, along with mirror work, pearls and cowries.
“Created for @priyankachopra, a global icon who carries the spirit of India wherever she goes, the look brings our crafts into a contemporary silhouette, letting a little of home travel with her this Diwali,” he wrote. In his post, Torani wrote, “Priyanka Chopra in Torani for Diwali. A love letter from home, imagined through India’s windows. Inspired by jharokhas, old forts and arches framing courtyards, this sculpted, off-shoulder silk gown in deep sindoori opens onto embroidered gardens of birds, flowers and little pieces of sky. The design also drew from traditional Indian clothing. Its bodice was inspired by an angiya, while the designer reimagined the odhni as a flowing detail that ended in tassels and ghungroos. He added that the outfit was created for Priyanka to bring Indian crafts into a contemporary silhouette. One photograph showed the family spending time together, while another captured Priyanka enjoying Indian food. She also shared a picture from the back, giving followers a closer look at the embroidery and detailing on the gown. Alongside the photographs, Priyanka wrote, “Some camera roll favourites from this Diwali. Wishing you all a very Happy Diwali.”
