Gemini | Spring 2018

‘As a Gemini and a sari lover myself, I wondered how to make the sari even more multipurpose than it already is.
I love that separates add versatility and breadth to our wardrobes.
I thought it just as important to be able to somehow bring that element of surprise to the much loved sari.’

Gemini | Collection Note
What if we could wear the same sari, with the same drape and same blouse yet somehow, still make it look different?
This was the starting point for this line of saris. How does one innovate an Indian essential that is already perfect? The solution had to be effortless and fuss free.
So I conceived them to be ‘reversible’.
They’re designed in a way that they can simply be flipped. This alters the look in a small, albeit significant way. Reimagined to be modular, we can reuse and repeat them while feeling and looking a little different each time.
This duality lends itself perfectly to my own personality and this twin zodiac. Unpredictable, versatile and expressive, it allows the wearer freedom and choice.
We mirrored the saris to drive the point home, keeping all the other components identical.
We also added some more shapes that can be alternatives to the quintessential blouse. These include halters, tube tops and our latest offerings of permanent pleated blouses, tops, tanks and waistcoats, in addition to our signature wraps and tunics.
Just in time for the summer, all of these can be worn with other coordinates from your existing wardrobe to be styled as desired with or without the sari.
Accessorized with our handmade pleated flowers, recycled from studio waste, to dress the hair and minimal Tachi arm cuffs in stainless steel and brass - this collection doubles the fun of styling the sari in a restrained yet luxurious, but dramatic way.
Making the reversible sari an intrinsically India modern, must have.
