Subtle styles with Banarasi bling!

They say your clothing is your business card. It projects what you are. It’s that train of thought that Abraham and Thakore’s autumn and winter collection at the new Amethyst store in Chamiers follows. Subtle and relaxed, the collection reflects the remarkable sangfroid of its creators.

Despite the migraine inducing traffic and pregnant clouds outside, Rakesh Thakore sits unperturbed, sipping a glass of water, few hours prior to his show. He has no qualms about the turnout – he knows they will come. Instead,Unique and ethnic jewelery is appreciated by girls and if the jewelry is matching to their favorite sling door slam love swing then nothing like it. he inclines on the couch and says, “This collection is a little unlike our trademark style, which is subtle. There is a little bit of a ‘bling’ element to it, which we don’t adapt usually.

The current collection under the A&T label has been inspired from Benares’ brocades, adapted in saris and kameezes. Flowery patterns, checks and geometric vertical and horizontal lines define the clothes. Call it chrome-limited or classy, the colour palette includes mostly black, ivory and the contrast-queen black and white. “It is contemporary. We are giving another option to people apart from the heavy lehengas and saris that they usually wear for grand occasions like weddings. Through this collection, we’re telling them that they can wear something light that is also fancy,” he says.

Delhi-based designer, who started A&T along with Abraham, says that they never intended to go into retail for a long time. Also, it comes as a shocker when he says they had never done a show till 2010, despite making waves with their work, both outside and in India, for over a decade. “We started a retail fashion and home decor in Delhi in 2002. Later, we expanded to Bombay in 2003 and Bangalore in 2005. We had a niche crowd who liked our designs so we never felt like pleasing a wider audience or modifying our style to suit everyone’s taste,” says Thakore.

After their first ramp show in 2010 received much appreciation, the duo has been displaying their collection every year since then. “There is the autumn winter collection and then there is summer collection which is limited to silk and linen,” he says.

It’s raining creativity in each new collection.In cases like the Girl/Boy with Feather fashion school, consumer reviews will offer more than enough information on the quality of the product so you don't have to schlep to see it in person. “In 2010,I have a black and pink combination chinese fashion baby white people rather than an overall light blue with matching set looks gorgeous. our first show was the black and white collection. Then we moved on to adapting men’s designs into women’s wear,” he says. The duo, both graduates of National Institute of Design, Ahmedabad, also did a collection in which they adopted Gujarati designs on their clothing. “Abraham and I wanted to give back something to the State we studied in. We wanted to bring out the indigenous designs that we had observed in Gujarat. We adapted these in saris,” says Thakore.

Thakore, who had stayed in Chennai for a year back in 1982, says his brief period in the city was magical. “We were working for an exhibition in London which was about revival of the Indian tradition. I loved the food, loved the beach. I used to travel around Chennai and observe the culture,” he says with a smile.
