Even as the revolving door of fashion trends spews new fads and contemporary candidates every single day, designer Arpita Mehta takes you on a vibrant journey to experience tradition and culture with her latest collection called Folklore. This Indo-western collection sees her skilfully reinvent classic Bandhani prints and ornate Ahir embroidery in a vivacious colour palette. She incorporates Ahir embroidery with the exuberant dexterity of mirrored circles and embroidered patterns in corsets and sharara pants. This, interspersed with the bandhani print, enhances the character and verve of each outfit. A vividly coloured repertoire of limited stitches amid glittering mirrors, sea shells, and cowrie shells, perfectly embellished breezy kaftans, jackets and lehengas is said to be all you need for giving your look the perfect amalgamation of traditional and contemporary. And Arpita’s eponymous label is characterised by her signature embroidery mirror work served in trendy cuts and eclectic colour combinations.
