Kareen Kapoor in Grassroot by Anita Dongre SS16
Intricate embroidery and elegant tie-and-dye in khadi, muslin, and hand-spun cotton. Layers of material encased in fine muslin is pressed, folded, and masterfully sewed to tell its hand-crafted stories in flowing patterns. Nature-inspired themes crafted by block-printing which utilises the raw excellence of hand-carved wooden blocks on a canvas of summer creations.
“I was brought face-to-face with amazingly talented artisans while travelling to research interesting textiles in the rural regions of India. They were all so skilled, yet they did not have sufficient work to sustain themselves and their families. They required design mediation to sustain the craft and a marketplace. I comprehend design and I utilised my knowledge to make their craft contemporary. And Grassroot was conceived, to be the marketplace,” Anita Dongre tells me.
Grassroot by Anita Dongre is the dairy of India’s craft history ~
Sway in style like Kareena Kapoor who dazzles in a white tunic and Georgette palazzo from Grassroot by Anita Dongre‘s Linen Romances collection matched with an Indigo jacket from their Ikat Sonnets Collection.
