Highlights
· Exquisite hand-craftsmanship and a continuation of Tarun’s 25 years of work with the country’s artisans. The look is contemporary, where Indian techniques, embroideries and textiles are used in modern ways.
· The collection is a celebration of color leading from the Rangrez capsule, where thousands of meters of woven brocade strips are cut out and applied on different forms.
· Pichwai collectiontakes inspiration from the ancient Indian lyrical paintings from Rajasthan that depict big monochromatic scenes of the Raasleela and our traditional motifs from peacocks to cows to lotuses.
· Chikankari capsule is reminiscent of the tomb of I’timād-ud-Daulah in Agra, whose latticed carvings and inlay work form the basis of the collection’s Chikankari motifs.
