Designer Reynu Tandon showcased her couture collection 'Zuri', which was an amalgamation of traditional design techniques and modern silhouettes with heavily embellished lehengas, mermaid-gowns and shararas on display.
, "We have sourced saris which are more than 50-years-old from palaces across Rajasthan from the original wardrobes of royalty, and restored them for this collection with real gold and silver zari."
Trailing jackets and capes, voluminous blouses and skirts detailed in metallic tones dominated the collection. With slow fashion becoming the need of the hour, many of the embroidery materials used in the collection were fashioned in-house out of excess materials generated during production.
This year is very special as artisans and craftsperson have gone through a massive phase of distress, and it is heartening to see that after one year of pandemic these cultural ambassadors of crafts would be joining us from all over India.
