KHAYAL (moodboard): Orange Biskoot or Biscuit reminds me of a bakery in Lucknow (confused whether Good Bakery or Burma Bakery), that made these subtle orange flavoured nankhatai sort of biscuits. The colour had a hint of orange, and they tasted very subtly of the orange flavour, like just about. They were my favourites back then.Gradually either they stopped being made, or newer bakeries came up with truffles and what not, we did grow apart; yet the memory lingers - Vidhi Rastogi, Head of Creative, Meiraas
POSHAAK (about the dress): Beautiful peach coloured Kurta Fabric in Pure Jacquard Cotton anointed with embroidery just a shade darker. The Chikankari motif used here is a heritage one, and rarely seen. The back has a single motif of Phool with the precious Sunehre Kasab ki taar jaali. The sleeves also have the back motif one each on either sleeve. Rest of the Kurta is plain, so that both self pattern fabric & Chikankari on it can neatly shine through.
The Chikankari is Resham and will be 3 taar.
This kurta fabric is a good way to wear heritage motifs in classical Awadhi style, and most importantly for everyday wear, not just occasion wear.

KHAYAL (moodboard): Mangoes & Lucknow have a sweet nectarine relationship. You can sniff the fragrance of Dussehri as you alight in Lucknow in June month uptil July mid. Mango parties are held in plush orchards, cozy homes all through Lucknow. Some people skip dinner time meals completely to only relish mangoes as long as they last. How can the most loved & anticipated for fruit not form an iconic imagery in the city's craft, Chikankari?- Vidhi Rastogi, Head of Creative, Meiraas
POSHAAK (about the dress): Lovely yellow colour kurta designed very lovingly by us for the Dussehri season. The neck has an antique Ambi bel that has been embroidered using sunehri kasab taar ki jaali stitch.
Same is with sleeves.

KHAYAL (moodboard): Since the day I laid my eyes upon this Chaand Jaali motif, I have been a fan of it. How beautifully conceived this art is?!! I have used it in sarees, and even got a version done for Zardozi dupatta. I now wanted to created Chaand motif bel, a heritage antique one, on more functional everyday elegant luxury pieces. The crescent has to have a special charm for humanity for each faith to revere it so deeply, isn't it?- Vidhi Rastogi, Head of Creative, Meiraas
