Jade cocktail sari collection unveiled

The annual Jade sari festival was unveiled in Mumbai

recently. It showcased a wide range of modern, chic and elegant cocktail saris designed to lend an air of elegance and romance to special soirées. French chiffons, silks, laces and tulle have been used in the collection and the colour palette is decidedly young/pop along with sophisticated evening colours like midnight blue. Special attention has been paid in this collection to the detailing and cut of the blouse that accompanies each sari. Embroidery detailing is kept to a minimum allowing the Jade cocktail saris to flow gracefully. Sari draping workshops during the exhibition explained the nuances of a variety of sari drape techniques and there was also a sari draper at the Jade store on both days of the festival. For those on the go, there was a variety of pre-pleated sari options.

Speaking about the collection, designers Monica & Karishma of Jade, say, “At Jade, we revere the sari and consider it our ideal canvas, the play of colours, embroidery and draping make the sari an absolute joy to design. In many ways, the sari is a reflection of our design philosophy and effortless elegance”.
