What was the inspiration behind Saktah?
We were inspired by the powerful representation of divine feminine energy that is celebrated, worshipped, and is responsible for creation, sustenance, and destruction. Modern women who have the power of a goddess should be able to dress like one too.
Elaborate on your collection.
The collection is an upgrade from our brocade line with rich, deep colours like red, yellow, brown, and black. Interestingly, anything in black has been the bestseller till now. Our main aim is to create comfortable clothing, so we kept that in mind while creating silhouettes, such as sleeveless crops, bandeaus, puffy-sleeved blouses. Also, there are easy-to-carry lehengas with dark-toned blouses which compliment the lehengas.
Tell us more about the fabrics and textiles used in the collection.
The brocades and jacquards used in the collection were sourced from Varanasi and Gujarat respectively. The collection also features stunning kalamkari, ajrakh, bandhani prints to name a few.
What else are you working on currently?
Next, we are planning to give a new spin on phirans, which is the traditional outfit for both men and women in the Kashmir Valley. The plan is to introduce phirans in fabrics such as velvet with deep hues of fall/winter.
