Designer Chandra has an effortless approach to fashion. And its far from that of a high strung designer diva. At a recent shoot she is wearing a timeless Kanchivaram Silk saree featuring heritage Payadi weaving technique (a modern check pattern) layered with design concept featuring pallu in Rich Maroon and Black.
She says “Kanchivaram silk is my favorite fabric, it is the perfect canvas for my creative energies, a new treatment this season is a touch of glamour to this understated sophistication – Concept designs like Partly Pallu, Half n Half, innovations in kanchivaram weaving, Also interesting are the various layers of hand embroidery on this versatile canvas called Kanchivaram Silk”. Chandra has been designing for over 15 years now having worked closely with artisans from all over India. She does not adhere to the conventional idea of fashion where seasons change. Fashion should be about self expression and how you feel, rather than what other people think” she says confidently.
Constantly looking at elements that surround her and nature for beauty in it raw form; one can find designer Chandra always fabricating design ideas and jotting thoughts for new and innovative design concepts. She is a firm believer in the concept of wearable fashion
Some of Chandra’s pics for the season are a classic Black Kanchivaram Silk in a Concept Design- Partly Pallu wherein the pleats pallu and blouse feature Silver Zari Mango motifs which can be accessorized beautifully with uncut diamond necklace as shown or cut diamond set in platinum or white gold to create a stunning look for a glamorous evening affair.
A special favorite this season is the French Chantilly Lace which we have used in combination with Benarasi Net fabric in a feminine blush pink and off-white French Lace with subtle gold and silver highlights. This stunning saree can make any morning function sparkle. Gold bunch chain with Tourmaline details add to the elegance to complete the look.
This season we have experimented with the concept of fusing fabrics of various consistencies and textures like a simple Kanchiavarm silk in burnt orange layered with pure luxurious Velvet in contrast Black featuring block printing. The transition highlighted by sequins hand stitched with precision. This saree can be contrasted with chunky gold Mala for the neck and very simple understated earring complete the regal look.
