I reserve my judgment on it! Let us see some clearer pictures and see how the saree flows!

Here are some quotes from her website:
Traditional, means a sense of history
under laid with
obvious forces of change. Sensed
rather than seen.Concentration here is on culture and the discovery
of the past, fused into the new look of today.My muse is the woman who is comfortable
with the fast pace of today’s life but looks
inward for inspiration.

Miss India Kanishta Dhankar with Neeta Lulla
Kanshita looks like a little doll, doesn’t she? Or may be a mannequin or a wax figure.
The designer’s cotton top with linen kurta is really nice!
reflecting on Sabyasachi’s comments on Saree
The Telegraph has an article called Save the sari and they asks Sabyasachi Mukherjee for his suggetions/comments about Saree!
Designers who don’t do saris well:
All the members of my brethren who have cut, pleated, zipped, draped and raped the sari! You might call them creative, I call it nouveau riche.
A Few quirky ways to wear a sari
| Sheer sari with a printed petticoat
| Organic sari with a well washed pure leather blouse
| Sari worn with a man’s shirt tucked into a petticoat
| Sari worn with a blazer, pallu wrapped scarf style around the neck
| Chotu Sabya Sari (in picture above) with Chanel leather boots
Five best blouses
| Prim Chinese collar blouse. Think Brahmo Samaj. The historically challenged can think matronly.
| Front-tied. Think Dimple in Jhooth bole from Bobby
| Three-quarter sleeve backless blouse. Modest from the front but a different story altogether from the back!
| Katori cut Rajasthani choli.
| Good old rubia blouse worn with a chiffon and bespoke pearls.
Five elements of a Sabya sari
| Good textile
| Multiple borders that are lovingly known in the market as patti-patti! It’s a task for my sales team to sell a sari without these!
| A three-quarter sleeve blouse or churi sleeve blouse
| Contrast — I can’t get rid of the Frankenstein I created!
| Handmade tassels for the blouses.

Umm, hey Gauri, is this a Saree?
Couldn’t tell from far away! May be thats the point of the Hiji Biji collection of Gauri Bajoria!
Better than a Rothko art print
Rothko
Screen printed crepe de chine sari inspired by the Rothko art printed in vegetable dyes. Unstitched crepe de chine blouse piece attached.
From Satya Paul collection.
About $150.
I love the flowing color combination – reminds you of all good things in life: land, water and fire!
