Statement in black and white

ETHNIC WEAVES have been revived in a big way. The very mention of ethnic fabrics brings to mind a burst of vibrant hues. But Fab India (Woods Road) for a change celebrates the basic colours - black and white in an exhibition. The materials have been sourced from all over the country - Orissa, Gujarat, Bengal, Madhya Pradesh and Rajasthan etc. Florals stripes, checks... the creations for men, women and children are captivating. A wide range of saris, salwars, kurtas, tops and dupattas are available.

The colour scheme does not stop with clothes. It is black and white all the way on the decor front too. Printed bed clovers, pillow covers, sheets, cushion covers, dhurries, lamshades, table linen, crockery ... all are aesthetically designed in black and white. The exhibition is on from October 19.
