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.
