Anavila opened the Atelier today on Sustainable Fashion day at Lakmé Fashion Week in partnership with FDCI with her latest collection ‘Dabu’. This collection of traditionally printed sarees was set on the ramp against panels of Dabu samples representing the printing units of this art form.
In step with the meditative rhythm of contemporary beats meeting traditional sounds, women in sarees with not a single stitch, petticoat, or blouse took the stage in drapes from pre-colonial India. The show was an experience for every sense.
Sonali Bendre, Konkona Sen Sharma, Mandira Bedi, Sheeba Chaddha, Ashwini Iyer, Manasi Scott, Sonali Kulkarni, Rajshri Despande, Monica Dogra, Sona Mohapatra, and Gauri Shinde were in attendance.
