A woman, it is often said, is like fabric, nuanced, many layered and rewarding the discoverer with hidden shades of strength.

Myoho’s latest collection – Maisa, for Lakme Fashion week w/f 2015, pays tribute to the woman of strength by embodying her essentials in the fabric and textile of the collection. Raw at the core and proud everywhere, Maisa is all about sharply cut garments from tussar and gajji silks in monochrome, with touches of deep red strewn in places.

To fully comprehend Maisa (which incidentally means ‘One with the proud walk’ in some forgotten tongue) you will need to think of swords and temples at the same time – fierce yet warm, solid yet fluid and wild yet balanced.
