Silhouettes go sleek

LEAN LOOKS are in. So what other way to match up to the demand than conjure up clothes that literally contour the body? At an exhibition of ethnic wear, Kutir presents salwars in soothing shades and fine fabrics.

Straight cuts and simple accents make the collection ideal for those conscious about slim silhouettes. Cotton, organdi, handloom and voile creations make good regular wear, while the mildly dressy ones in georgette, moss crepe and cotton tussar are suitable for occasions.

The season's specials include a wide range of exclusive salwar suits in organdi in eye-pleasing colours. The sets in cotton tussar come with embroidered dupattas. There is also a fresh range of designer saris - Benaras with kota embroidery, handwoven ones from Orissa and tastefully designed kotas with bandini applique work. Indo-Westerns and ghagras are other attractions.

Designed by Mamta Kheror, the clothes are distinct for the intricate craftsmanship. Aari embroidery, mirror work, sequins, kantha, mukaish, block prints etc. figure in her creations. Designed with the idea of making signature labels within the reach of the commoner, Kutir clothes are reasonably priced (Rs. 1,500 for salwars and Rs. 340 onwards for kurtas) and can be seen at the boutique at No 4, 29 C.P.Ramaswamy Iyer Road, phone 4661031.
