KAMASUTRA by Suneet Varma …those things which increase passion should be done first, and those which are only for amusement or variety should be done afterwards”. Bringing alive on stage, the most celebrated Hindu texts in the world today; Suneet Varma presents ‘Kamasutra’ in the Delhi Couture Week 2011. Hinting seduction with every glimpse of a bare ankle, adorned with a delicate pajeb, it is the youthful demeanor of a seductress that the designer reflects in his inspiration.
As humans, we strive to look and feel attractive every single day…We enhance appearances and pleasure our senses to be desired.“Fashion is the politest way of talking about sex”, says Suneet as he presents clothes that “adorn the body and bejewel the soul”.
Fantastical and feminine, the collection is sheer, sensual and dramatic !
With an undying love of theatrics, Suneet has worked closely with designer Sumanth Jayakrishnan on a stage that upholds the grandeur of couture, complimented with musical atmospherics by Gaurav Raina of the Midival Punditz.
Deep red, orange and fuschias paint a picture of the heart and its steaming desires in long, flowing skirts contrasted with embellished metallic bras. Layers of crushed silk flow over the feminine form with crystal beading and narrow trousers. Draped sensually are chiffon stoles and delicate shrugs.
Romancing a bygone era, traditional Zardozi koti shrugs paired with sheer skirts and saris depict the woman’s charm and elegance. Applying ethnic structures and shape, there is a play of ivory and red in the form of choli cut waistcoats, long sleeved sheer blouses,kamarbandhs and fine Zardozi threadwork.
In deep blues, gray and blacks, lace embroidered sarees embellished with mirror work and intricate ribbon rosettes intoxicate, creating the allure of dusk. In accents of nude, lightweight georgette contrasts in ethereal veils and saris.
