Lately, couturier Surekha Jain collaborated with jewelers Rose to unveil a vibrant festive 2012 over a champagne brunch at DLF Emporio, New Delhi.Combining heritage richness with contemporary design, the designer has infused vintage embroideries with clean lines, chic silhouettes and vibrant colors to create the collection. An aura of elegance is created with ornate surface treatments and luscious palettes of bright fuchsias, bold reds and jewel tones.
The collection boasts of body accentuating fits interspersing with flowing forms rendered through an A-line cut. The use of finest handpicked gota patti with hand cut sequence is further accentuated with dabka and baadla that render the embroidery a rare richness.
About the collection Surekha said, “For this season I dip into the Indian treasure trove of rich and rare textural techniques. My collection combines a multitude of hand embroideries on fabrics like silk and georgettes which have a traditional touch yet a contemporary feel. Style and silhouettes draw inspiration from the bygone era giving a soft, elegant and vintage appeal reminding one of the timeless beauty.”
