W
hen you begin, you begin with ABC. And though established Kochi based
designer, Hari Anand needs no beginning in fashion his latest collection
is surprisingly called Alphabets, 2011. It will be showcased at a
preview on December 4 at Gokulam Convention Centre, where top national
models will catwalk the collection. It is Season 3 for the designer with
FTV and the ensemble is a collaboration with New York based
caricaturist and illustrator, Patti Stren.
The six yards turn absolute chic in the collection. The
linen sari makes a novel appearance. Shirts, trousers, skirts in linen
are what this fabric has seen so far and now comes Hari's original take
on it- as a sari. “The fabric is imported and has precise digital prints
on it. When draped it falls gracefully and weighs just 90 gms.”
Enhancing the material are Patti Stren's playful prints.
“A new openness has come to stay in the world,” says Hari about the
naughty prints, which blend humour, fun and mischief. After all fashion
is about the times and this collection is truly with it. Stren, whose
first venture with Anand saw raffish illustrations on dating and
flirting tips, carries the theme ahead in this collection too. The haute
linen saris make perfect cocktail wear.
