Fine detailing with heritage fabrics, the use of embroidery for textural enhancement and the crafty use of silhouettes that are functional yet feminine; Monisha creates fashion with a strong flavour. Her textile story is lure. Her colour statement is varied with the binding force of Bajaj’s colour palette being the art of mixing bold with soft and neutral with colour. Weaves are a strong statement. So is the interplay of fit with form, integral to the Indian drape tradition. Monisha’s design sense is innovative yet moulds well to classical forms.
