Sakhi Collection ‘10
Look around. A new woman has emerged. She fights apathy, boredom and poor taste, and is adept at making split-second decisions. The Sakhi Collection combines courageous design with superior fabric to deliver laudable style for the woman of today.
The collection is an effortless embodiment of elegance, featuring a variety of exclusive designs served on an extensive platter of creations. Designer Chandra of Sakhi owes her inspiration to the changing hues of nature in spring. The collection captures the myriad changes in the elements that surround us as winter fades into summer, like foliage changing colour from amber to green. The collection, with its ravishing detailing and fine design elements, is bound to make a statement irrespective of occasion.
Cut work is a Sakhi specialty which finds expression in an array of fabrics. An art form involving delicate lace-like embroidery, cut work requires intricate hand work and an eye for precision. The Sakhi Collection re-invents cut work by fusing different fabrics using appliqué technique. For evening attire, bold fusions are woven together by intricate cut work. A fine form of hand embroidery, cut work is a must have this season.
For casual occasions, the collection exhibits an array of light Tussar Silk sarees in muted salmon pink, toned down turquoise and burnt mustard. These sarees feature Benarsi brocade appliqué cut work in an interesting bold motif placement design, with one motif near the neck, a few near the pleats and an elaborate step pallu, to add to a woman’s confidence.
