Sanjay Garg’s reinterpretation of past always gets us and this time was no different. He chose to experiment with the Mashru fabric which has been a part of Indian textile vocabulary for years but due to it’s weight and stiffness was not considered to be a very wearable option.

In his recent collection Sanjay played with Mashru but gave it a much lighter feel in oder to make his outfits wearable yet classy. With the fragrance of mogra in the air the show began with a cappella group humming and beat boxing.

Collection was a different tale all together and the beat boxers conjured up a multicultural feel.The colour palate consisted of jewel tones, bright reds, greens and pinks. The motifs involved in the collection were ‘Danedar’ and ‘Ashrafi’. Danedar is an intricate pattern made with carefully chosen colors of warp and weft while Ashrafi, as the name of suggests stands for currency motif. The collection also got a decadent feel due to the usage of ‘Gulbadan’ a weft faced twill fabric in sari with gorgeous motifs.

Needless to say the collection was an artistic take on the traditional Indian ready to wear, as the show approached its end it only got better with an infusion of bridal element. Who wouldn’t fall for those gorgeous lehenga skirts, duppatta, blouses, chogas with long jackets and jacquards?
