TREND ALERT: VELVETS WITH A BLOTCH OF SEQUINS

There is something to be said about how shiny little disks pattern their way into leaves and petals. Forming flowers that reflect off the illustrious sheen of a velvet jora. A fabric that is sensually soft, bold, and charismatic. It reminds me of my ami kay jahez kay suitcases. How the velvet kurtas remain wrapped inside through the year, and are pulled out on festive December nights. It always makes me wonder how they retain their shimmer, sultry texture and saturated colour, year after year. And when paired with gold jhumkas, or kundan polki – there is nothing more regal.

THE MANY LIVES OF VELVET

If I may say, there is a quiet magic in the drapes of a velvet jora. How the colour evolves from day to night. Almost as if, it surrenders to how the light falls upon it. How the vibrant red becomes maroon, how emerald green transforms to a darker shade. I love how it is not just one big block of colour, but variations of its tone. Other than it being the most alluring winter fabric, no other cloth does justice to the warmth it gives on the endless but chilly celebrations of the holiday season.
