Sustainable luxury brand, Hasrat-e-Sassy — helmed by designer Daya Bansal —  is launching its latest collection Mithila in the city-based multi-designer store, Deccan Story shortly. With this, she wants to hark back at India’s rich Madhubani heritage and create designs with Western cuts where artisans take you back to the history of Mithila with their brushstrokes. “My patrons love Indian art, so I thought it would be great to juxtapose it with Western cuts,” says the Noida-based designer, who has earlier used influences from gond and kalamkari

Daya felt that it would be restricting to limit Madhubani to traditional drapes and kurtas, and so she decided to use modern cuts like that of trench coats, peplums, corsets. Expect to shop for corsets with a one-shoulder jumpsuit, printed dresses in cotton silk flared skirt and ruffled blouse sets, pencil skirts and unique pre-draped pantsuit saris. The shade card includes ivory and beige. She got her silk and organza from Bihar and Varanasi, ensuring that the collection looks rich and versatile at the same time.

Rs 15,000 onwards.
