Vummidi Bangaru Jewellers (India) Pvt. Ltd and Anju Modi Illuminate Chennai with a Celebration of Heritage and Haute Couture
In an unforgettable celebration of craftsmanship and culture, Vummidi Bangaru Jewellers (India) Pvt. Ltd. (VBJ), and legendary fashion designer Anju Modi came together to orchestrate an evening of breathtaking artistry at The Leela Palace, Chennai.
Titled “An Affair of Glamour and Grandeur,” the evening marked a proud milestone — 125 years of VBJ, storied legacy — celebrated through an extraordinary convergence of heirloom jewellery and timeless couture. In a harmonious blend of tradition and innovation, Anju Modi’s ethereal creations found their perfect complement in VBJ’s intricate masterpieces, weaving a narrative that transcended generations.
The evening unfolded gracefully:
Guests were welcomed to a warm social hour before being transported into a world of enchantment by an emotive dance performance by Padma Bhushan awardee, Ms. Shobana. The crescendo of the night was an awe-inspiring runway presentation, thoughtfully curated in association with Evoluzione, featuring layered silhouettes, ornate bridal finery, and gleaming diamonds — each piece telling a story of India’s profound artistic passion.
Speaking at the event, Mr. Amarendran Vummidi and Mr. Jithendra Vummidi, Managing Partners of Vummidi Bangaru Jewellers (India) Pvt. Ltd, remarked: “At VBJ, every piece we create is an heirloom of emotion, craftsmanship, and history. As we celebrate 125 years, it is only fitting that we honor this journey with a collaboration that reflects India’s eternal spirit. Anju Modi’s revival of our weaving traditions mirrors our passion for preserving and evolving Indian craftsmanship. Tonight is not just about fashion; it’s about storytelling, legacy, and the soul of India.”
The runway’s finale was a moment of pride, with curators Ms. Vimmi, Ms. Ranjitha, and Ms. Sarika joining the Vummidi Bangaru Jewellers (India) Pvt. Ltd family and Anju Modi for a heartfelt final walk — a tribute to the artisans, designers, and patrons who continue to inspire VBJ’s vision.
