A new style of Kurta explored in Chikankari. A Chanderi phiran cut, that allows a beautiful dressy look, and a flattering silouhette. The sherbet coloured beauty is embroidered with very unique & antique Chikankari motifs.

The Sustainability Quotient (TSQ):

1. Skilled Resham Hand Embroidery on absolutely novel motif art.

2. The Kurta cut inspired by a phiran, housed in the National Museum, Delhi.

3. Handloom Chanderi

4. Conceptual Chikankari work, that might someday be housed in a museum of crafts, or a well researched coffee table book.

KHAYAL (mood-board):

Was the jewellery inspired by crafts & motifs, or were the classic motifs inspired by the jewellery?

The answers can be varied, but the result is guarenteed to be breathtaking, either ways.

Flame of the Forest or Tesu flowers bloom in the month when spring ends. Their lovely yellow peach hue when boiled in water & the mellow, invigorating fragrance invoked feelings of Shringaar since ancient days.

These two thoughts formed the design moodboard of this Kurta.

POSHAAK (about the dress):

This phiran style Chanderi kurta was inspired by the cut of some dresses from 19th Century, that are housed in National Museum. We wanted to design something unique with such a cut, hence a jewellery inspired theme was adopted, where we found motifs that aligned with our moodboard.

We also married the thought of Flame of the Forest or Tesu flowers and how their vibrant canopy looks all over the Northern part of India, at the start of summers. Therefore, we curated motifs & stitches that will give the effect of a mellow flame, as Tesu, when boiled in water gives a pleasing yellow-peach hue & a mellow fragrance.

The Kurta has a heavy necklace design, which we pieced together to design like a ‘haar’ or a necklace of flowers. Qasab taar jaali was cut in each motif, along with Murri stitch, that gave the impression of flame.

The statement motif at the back also has an antique motif that was decorated with upward facing murri stitch on the outer rim, to give the effect of mellow flame.

The sleeves & body have floral motifs to represent the cusp of spring and summer.

The Resham Chikankari done is very intricate & painstaking, which will take a true connoisseur to see & understand. The phiran is an even more elegant and dressy turn on the classic Chikankari kurta. It will be accompanied with a detachable slip.
