“Gemini” : A collection of Reversible Sarees by ace designer Payal Khandwala

In a consumeristic era where a closet full is still not enough, Payal Khandwala  aims to maximise the utility of an outfit. Toying with the idea of taking this one step further, Payal has now launched her first ever line of reversible saris. One sari – multiple ways, her endeavor towards sustainability.

GEMINI | 2018

As a Gemini and a sari lover myself, I’ve always wondered how to make saris even more multipurpose than they already are. Just as I’ve committed, as part of our pret offering, to rethink separates to add breadth to our wardrobes, I thought it important to be able to somehow bring that element of surprise to the sari. In the past we’ve teamed our saris with wardrobe staples, the shirt, the blouse, a tee, a tank, a waistcoat and a jacket. The idea is always to offer our customer flexibility. But what if we could wear the same sari, with the same drape and same blouse yet somehow still make it look different?

This was the starting point for this line of saris. How does one innovate an Indian essential that is already perfect? The solution had to be effortless and fuss free. So I conceived them to be ‘reversible’. They’re designed in a way that they can simply be flipped. This alters the look in a small, albeit significant way. Reimagined to be modular, we can reuse and repeat them while feeling and looking a little different each time.

This duality lends itself perfectly to my own personality and this twin zodiac. Unpredictable, versatile and expressive, it allows the wearer freedom and choice. We mirrored the saris to drive the point home, keeping all the other components identical.
 
We also added some more shapes that can be alternatives to the blouse. These include halters, tube tops and our latest offerings of permanent pleated blouses, tops, tanks and waistcoats, in addition to our signature wraps and tunics. Just in time for the summer, all of these can be worn with other coordinates from your existing wardrobe to be styled as desired with or without the sari.

Our saris are hand woven in mulberry silk and cotton, in plain and twill weaves. The palette ranges from our bright summer hues of scarlet, citrine, sapphire, chartreuse, and magenta to silver, coffee and charcoal. Accessorized with our handmade pleated flowers, recycled from studio waste, to dress the hair and minimal Tachi arm cuffs in stainless steel and brass – this collection doubles the fun of styling the sari in a restrained yet luxurious, but dramatic way. The spirit as always is fierce and feminine and still intrinsically India modern.

Evelyn Sharma turns Action Girl for “Saaho”

The ‘Sunny Sunny girl’ of B-Town, Evelyn Sharma will soon be seen in the multi-starrer blockbuster movie – Saaho with Prabhas in the lead. The actress will be seen performing hardcore action sequences for the first time as opposed to the comic roles which she has attempted in the past and is undergoing rigorous training and extensive workout to nail the scenes. Shouldering the stunts, the ‘Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewaani’ actress has been training for Mixed Martial Arts (MMA) & kickboxing to perfect her act. Recently, news around her shedding around 10 kilos for the role was doing the rounds, and now with this special training, Evelyn is making sure that she leaves no stones turned to give her best performance in the movie.

Well! hats off to the dedication which the German beauty is putting in to nail her scenes with utmost perfection. Not only the action, but she is also taking some Telugu lessons from none other than her wonderful co-star Prabhas to master the dialect. Certainly, it won’t be wrong to call Evelyn as Ms. Perfectionist now. Kudos to her efforts and all we can say is get ready for some “kickass” action. Stay tuned to know more on the space.
