Weavers’ work enthralls audience at KFW
September 11th, 2009 - 5:21 pm ICT by IANSKolkata, Sep 11 (IANS) Designer Nandita Palchoudhuri showcased her weaver’s work on the third day of the Kolkata Fashion Week-II, with the models sashaying down the ramp exhibiting a wide range of tangail, baluchari and dhakai sarees made by the craftsmen in West Bengal.
“I use all natural fibres woven by the weavers of Bengal,” Palchoudhuri told reporters after the show.
Nobel laureate Amartya Sen’s daughter Nandana Deb Sen was the show-stopper, her red bordered white sari and traditional jewellery adding to the flavour of the design.
Nandana said she likes saris and her decor gave her the flavour of the upcoming Durga Puja season.
Supermodel Nayonika Chatterjee also graced the show.
Palchoudhuri used colours like blue, green, red, black for the saris, while a few were white-based with red and green borders.
