Sakhi by Chandras features a number of funky, unique saree designs. The patterns, colors, and blouse designs on these sarees are bold and set their own trends. Here is what the site has to say:
“Sakhi celebrates the new-age woman and is committed to unveil her real beauty and progressive personality. Sakhi combines traditional fabrics and craftsmanship with contemporary themes to create an ensemble that embodies the values of the modern Indian woman.”
This Kanchivaram silk number sells for $422 approximately. The kalamkari motifs give the saree an antiquated look but the blouse is strikingly modern. Actually, I’m not sure what to make of this single sleeve style blouse though my gut is telling me that it pulls the wardrobe together and livens up this otherwise classic looking saree.
This crepe silk Sakhi saree costs $75 approximately. The zig-zag design throughout gives it a playful and fresh feel while the black hand block printed section tones down the busy print just enough.
too much photoshop
It’s fashion photo shoot – photoshop is ever present there.
I’d much rather have a slightly overdone photoshopped image than to have an image which is slightly underdone.
When some of these images are printed on a large 8 feet by 4 feet posters that hang in the retailer’s windows, any little flaw destroys the beauty of the saree.
Just a few weeks ago I saw a poster from Shobha De collection and the model’s skin tones weren’t photoshopped.
Guess what, I could see the razor marks on her legs and it was revolting, to say the least.
“Re-touching” is the term we use in the US. It’s been around for a long time to do everything from creating the appearance of flawless skin to making the garment look perfect. It’s really not “photoshopping”, but re-touching.
I agree with Sunny that it is an essential part of the finished product in fashion photography.
The black lace on midriff in the second photo is a good idea and colour is perfect too.
However, it’s material is not good. It should have been thin and more delicate-looking.
The first model has a beautiful body tone & structure
