Mouna Ragam 2019

Inspiration
The inspiration for this collection is the 1980's fashion.
Starting with the clothes in manirantam's 80's and 90's movies and travelling through my mom's photos, resulted in this laid back, classic, delicate collection. A visual time capsule.
Process
The collection is made from handpicked sarees, handwoven in gandhigram. Sary has a limitation of six yards and its physical greatly affects the design approach. It has many different physical aspects to it, the border, the pallu, the main body of the saree and the part that is made for the blouse. It has a sense of continous non conformity. And to make a dress from a sary is to confine the flow and change the dimensions.
