A modern and stylish take on the muted and undiscovered glamour of Jharkhand tribals, Shruti Sancheti ‘tribe’ show began with an upbeat track that seemed in perfect synchrony with both, the walk of the model, and the swing of the garments.
The collection, though restricted to a limited colour palette of mustard, charcoal, burgundy, mahogany and purple, was, in fact, the least bit limiting. It encapsulated a harmony of tradition and trend. There was a play with layers, opaque and sheer fabrics were seen working their magic simultaneously, and ideal balance between structure and anti-fit was struck – all of these factors worked together to make the collection a work of sartorial excellence as much as a visual delight.
The most striking pieces from the collection were layered dhoti pants, peplum jackets, boxy crop tops, trench coats, maxi tribal skirts, and elongated capes, each of which had details of geo-ethnic patterns.
For the collection, designer has worked with tussar, spun cotton, eri silk, and mulberry silk while using kantha embroidery techniques.
