Designer Shruti Sancheti's final bow at AIFW AW 2017.

"Travelling across the baked mud, rustling through the remotest hamlet of vibrant India, I re-discover the soul of wander lust brides – Organic, Enchanting & Ecstatic!"

The treasured hand-loom clusters from remotest tribal belt of Jharkhand inspired me to redefine muted glamour of tribal India. Luminous looms like Tussar, mulberry silk, Eri silk and spun cotton in decadent palette of Sand, Ecru, berry purple, Onyx, Charcoal, Burgundy, Mahogany and Teal are meticulously crafted to create easy separates for the coming festive season. Each look is a layered symphony of opaque and sheer mimicking the hide & seek of the scorching sun.

Signature hand embroideries like the authentic Kantha stitches are revisited in shaded woollen threads with a dishevelled look. Geo-Ethnic patterns adds to the modern tribal feel to this surface enhancement techniques.

The silhouettes are a representation of Modern India and are an amalgamation of traditions and trends. Trench coats, oversize crop tops, layered dhoti trousers, jumpsuit with trail skirt, variety of capes, sleek peplum jackets, long gypsy skirts, etc. forms the core pattern story of this collection of luxurious separates the look is modern and layered, yet tribal and nomadic. Each look aims to conserve the rich heritage and attempts to bridge the stylistic bridges between rural and urban India.

This fall Festive, let's embrace regional craft and celebrate the local flavours with a redefined soul of Global India. It's time to illuminate. It's time to celebrate our identity - our TRIBE.
