Designer Pawan Sachdeva has brought alive the remarkable
craftsmanship of the Mughal Era in his latest Menswear collection,
Andaaz-e-Nawab. The collection will be
unveiled during a fashion show this Saturday.
Andaaz-e-Nawab is all about dressing today’s men in the
royal attire. The collection has
impressions of Mughal & Arabic clothing and has been twisted so creatively
to fit in the taste of a modern man says Designer Pawan Sachdeva. From a very
traditional attire like a Jama paired with a flared skirt to a modern avtar of
a floral motif transparent cotton kurta teamed with pencil trousers and a
cotton olive floral printed Nehru
jacket, Pawan’s profound design sensibilities are evident in each
creation.
The collection has Jamas (tunic or coat), Angharkas, Chogas
in the finest of cottons and muslins with hand embroidered floral motifs. They are paired with trousers, flared skirts
and paijamas. To be worn with Juttis,
Kolhapuris & Peshawari Sandals and embellished with a Turban, look will be
as elegant and royal as the Nawabs.
Mughal artisans were famous for their creativity and
experimentation and Mughal emperors like Akbar paid special attention to
textiles- patterning, cuts and delicate hand work on their garments, added
Pawan. Textiles flourished remarkably under the Mughals and various techniques of
crinkling, dying, patterning and embroidery were explored. In my collection
Andaaz-e-Nawab, I have tried to capture the elegance and flamboyance of the
Mughal Era.
