Images from a South Indian summer instigate this elegant soft white of the dhoti; a glimpse of ivory amidst the green foliage; the luxuriant growth along the backwaters in the Kerala landscape. The leaves tipped with sunlight are turned into a luminous shade of chartreuse, and the dusty reds and browns of the fertile soil add warmth and depth to the colour palette. 

Elegant dressing on a warm day; new proportions that suggest rather than reveal. Airy elongated shapes- the new “long”, and the new “square”- are interpreted in fine washed natural fabrics that drape sensually, and move. The new easy kurta; the new wide-legged pyjama; the new shift; the new long skirt- spare shapes for the season that’s moving fashion in a new direction. Cotton sarees with tank tops explore alternative directions for an unstitched garment. Accessorised with tan leather courier bags, a new Kohlapuri-inspired platform and a slender belt cinched, to create a fresh young silhouette.  

This season Abraham & Thakore explores warm weather dressing by specially weaving soft, singles count hand loomed fabrics. The elegance of washed cotton in white with a narrow black border is modern and contemporary, yet refers to an Indian tradition that also celebrates minimalism, simplicity and refinement.
