Swati & Sunaina at Lakme fashion week S/R 2016
    April 1, 2016

    Swati & Sunaina invoked the spirit of Radha for their sensuous creations in soothing and calm pastel shades, hand loomed with affection, pay homage to a wearer’s purest and calmest incarnation, to her very own Radha.

    This collection finds itself rooted in the aspiration to engage India’s strength today  – the empowered women youth and connect them to their land’s fledgling hand woven heritage. From its incipiency, every sari was tested on the benchmark of wearability, convenience, comfort to resonate with our active young ladies while quietly weaving into the narrative a tale of revived weaves, skillfully handspun fine cottons and luxurious Zari tissues.

    Standing strong on innovation, reverence of tradition and doggedly persistence, this assemblage is a culmination of years of toil. Time was spent convincing weavers to rework on a highly technical weave of “Rung – Kat” that was almost extinct and will, again, find an audience now.

    Muslins, woven with finest handspun cotton in gossamer ike Jamdanis gave a relaxing, calming option for the scorching summer sun. To complete the spectrum of day to night options, festive eveningwear was also revisited with preamble of a beautiful non-silk option – Aab-ae-rawan (woven like a dream) shimmering, pure Zari sari. This molten gold like textile has a tender, malleable drape decorated with vintage, Mughal motif.

    A woman’s eternal love for jewellery resonates in our motific coinage of vintage pieces into the warp and weft of our fresh experimental creations while successfully rendering a 3D effect.

    The designer brilliantly played with the hues of summer in shades like corals, light blues, pinks, beige that mellow the lines of demarcation between national and international, lending a pertinent fashion perspective to a jetsetter woman.
