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.

KHAYAL (mood-board):
The outskirts of the historic & charming city of Lucknow are equally beautiful in their rustic charm. These ancient Indo Gangetic plains are lush with greenery & boasts of one of World's oldest agrarian civilisation. Watching the emerald landscape of Awadh is a surreal experience, even more so in winters when dotted with the migratory bird population, the most notable of these being the Siberian Cranes, that never enter the city Lucknow, but stay just outside, especially in Nawabgunj Bird Sanctuary. With this concept in mind, we wanted to design motifs that glide in the night sky in a Yin & Yang appeal; we found the desirable art style of these motifs, very surprisingly, in Japan. The ancient Japanese Art style is dramatically circular in design, & it is here that we found our serendipity, the right manner to display the Nawabgunj Cranes. The motif of Chikankari is an exclusive design of Meiraas launched in 2018. Borrowing from Japanese palette, we designed the motifs keeping Chikankari stitches in mind, that best romance the gliding flight of the Siberian Cranes.
POSHAAK (about the dress):
The cranes are falling, gliding, flying & finally in a circular Dance of Love at the statement back, in this Meiraas Exclusive Kurta made on Handloom Chanderi. The pastel pink Kurta has embroidery in fresh green colour, making it a unique pastel on pastel play Kurta.
The Kurta is accompanied by a Dupatta in Handloom Organza fabric with Gold and Silver Zari Ganga Jamuna borders. The Dupatta has a stunning Crescent Moon motif with Cranes flying atop it in two diagonal konia, and floral bootas allover the body.
