Kolkata based designer Manoj Agarrwal will be showcasing his impeccable collection, “Jodhaa” at Lakme Fashion Week A/W 2017.
This collection ‘Jodhaa’ is deeply inspired by two mighty dynasties, the Mughals and the Rajputs. Every ensemble in the collection is a fluent amalgamation, integrating influences from each other- the Mughal’s appreciation for the finer things in life and the Rajput’s love of beauty, elegance and fine detailing, says Manoj.
The inspiration for Jodhaa was so engrained and carefully thought, giving us a beautiful Rajasthani weaves with warm tones of saffron, emerald, copper, brown and henna red costumes, with a red veil epitomizing each ensemble of the collection.
Design motifs like swans, peacocks, flowers, curvilinear pillars with brackets, pottery, chatteris, semi-circular domes, and triangular khaprel roofs with arabesque designs in a mosaic pattern adorn the collection. The garments are richly decorated with semi- precious stones, thread and zari work forming vines and flowers, jaalis and jharokaas embroidered geometrically.
