HERITAGE DESIGNS Purvi Patel’s collection will have an antique touch
Purvi Patel’s “Noor Jehan-The Collection” marks the culmination of the designer’s explorations on royal costumes with timeless beauty being her source of inspiration. Pashmina, tanchoi, brocade, desi tussar, shichja silk, mahe
shwari and cholis embellished with antique patterns will be some of the fabrics on display. From ashrafi buttis to taz buttas incorporated into the benarasi saris, are some of the forms that prevailed in the early 19th century.
The collection has been designed to showcase a fraction of the various handcrafted embroidery in Purvi’s own way. There will also be fine needlecraft like zardosi, sachaq, kalabatum (sequence in gold and silver), kamdani, (heavy gold wires), aari, rabari, zari, dori, pita, parsi and gaathi embroidered on brocade cholis and kanchivaram saris. There are also georgettes and crepes in mukesh work in border form and more.
The festival collection will be displayed at Vermilion House, 3/12 Cleveland Road Cross, Frazer Town from 10.30 a.m. to 6.30 p.m. on October 29 and 30. Call 41225830.
