A Pure Linen Sari
And for a lot of reasons, designer Anavila Misra, who has been making quite
the fashionable waves, befits the quotation. In 2004, she began working on a
craft cluster development project for NIFT in association with the Ministry of
Rural Development.
"While I was discovering this long trail of cloth of one
straight single length, with no zips or stitches, I thought to myself, what kind
of sari Medical
Protective Non-Woven would I want to wear?That lead to the genesis of my
journey with the sari. And between 2007 and 2010, she worked on small projects
with weavers and artisans, creating products which could be showcased at
exhibitions. It (the sari) might look casual because of the nature of the yarn
and the way it falls on the body… but the kind of labour and skill that goes
into making the sari matches to that of any other expensive sari.
"Comfort was
the last word anyone associated with a sari, which is considered a mark of
virtuous femininity, and I wanted to break that mould to show the ease with
which it can be worn,†says Anavila.Linen is a fine yarn and it is
expensive.Her saris appear simple and demure with minimum embellishments and
restricted colour story but the price point of the garment is very
competitive.The designer is a post-graduate in Knitwear Design from NIFT Delhi,
and her first job was at Madura Garments where she worked as an assistant
designer for the brand Louis Phillipe, primarily focusing on men’s formal and
casual shirts as well as knitwear.
But the cost is legitimate.Leonardo da Vinci
said, "Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication. How does a pure linen sari in
shy muted tones hold up to a high price point, we probe? "The first sari that I
did was for Rs 12,000. Brought up in Karnal, a small town in Haryana, and Patna,
the designer was into flower arrangements and wall decorations with natural
flowers and materials collected from gardens and wild forest areas near her
house as well as designing clothes for her dolls as a child. "Appreciation in
any form feels nice. I consider each one of my buyers as stars in their own
universe,†she says.â€. The cost of pure linen plus the weaver’s labour/hard work
along with the dying cost of the fabric all came out quite competitively when
compared to other saris. That’s a fact.â€
She adds, "Having said that, it’s
always up to the customer whether they want to wear the light and comfortable
linen or choose a banarasi.

As The Countervailing Duty
"A common rate across the chain would also avoid confusion. But job workers
could not avail input tax credit that had been increasing the cost of the
products and affecting the export competitiveness and also the domestic
consumers," Jain said.New Delhi: The Confederation of Indian Textile Industry
(CITI) on Monday welcomed the GST Council&Disposable
Pillow Cover39;s move to slash the rate on job work like weaving, cutting,
knitting and embroidery to 5 per cent from 18 per cent decided earlier.
"We have
apprehensions that Indian market would get flooded with imports from China,
Bangladesh and Sri Lanka, which would end up in huge job losses," Jain said.
Hence, industry would need some safeguard measures to ensure the Make in India
initiative does not wash away in the avalanche of imports (which have post GST
become 12 to 16 per cent cheaper).. This 5 per cent rate will be applicable for
job works in apparel, shawls and carpets."Earlier the additional duties, namely,
CVD & SAD were a protection against imports.In a statement, CITI Vice
Chairman Sanjay K Jain described it as a big breather to small job work
manufacturers in all segments of textile value chain which will allow the free
flow of business across the value chain.
However, Jain said the reduction of GST
rate for manmade fibre and synthetics from 18 to 12 per cent being postponed is
disappointing. All textile job works being manufacturing activities were
exempted from service tax in pre-GST regime.The GST Council, headed by Finance
Minister Arun Jaitley comprising representatives from all states, last week
decided to tax all job works in the textile sector at 5 per cent.He # urged to
the government and GST Council to accommodate the textile industry's demand of
12 per cent GST rate on MMF and synthetic yarn or refund of duty under inverted
duty incidence at fabric stage as prescribed in GST Act. He claimed that imports
are now cheaper than domestic products as the countervailing duty (CVD) and
special additional duty (SAD) on imports have become Integrated GST.He said the
5 per cent GST rate on job works would enable the industry to claim full input
credit and also avoid any inverted duty and strengthen the global
competitiveness of the textile sector apart from benefiting the domestic
consumers.

Over A Year Ago
"Works of fashion designers are usually categorised for the elite and the
exclusive, so having that talent work in a public space gives everyone access to
the world of fashion —it’s a breath of fresh air which could inspire, provoke or
spark debate. Created with yards of cloth, either hand embroidered or printed,
close to 2,400 pieces were pieced together to create the finished look.As you
drive down the busy Peddar Road in Mumbai, the sight of a thousand embroidered
hoops immediately overwhelms you, wafting through the mild winter breeze. The
white walls of Jindal House make for a lovely canvas, playing hide-and-seek with
these technicolor strings.Fashion designer Nimish Shah also believes in the idea
of fashion designers collaborating on public art projects. "We were waiting for
the right platform to create art that would touch many lives and evoke positive
emotions of love and harmony.
Manish arora, kala ghoda arts festival,
urban art festival. But it is often missed in the hustle-bustle of our daily
lives. "As designers, we are often busy with mass production of a single
creative idea, but to work on a larger-than-life project that would be
accessible to the masses is a thrilling idea and very fulfilling to the creative
senses of a designer,†says Nimish. When the Jindals decided to participate in
the Urban Art Festival and allowed us to use their iconic heritage
office-cum-residence in Mumbai, we knew we had the best canvas to bring this
artwork to life.Inspired by his personal life philosophy, ‘All We Need is Love’,
the designs interpret the emotion in different forms. As an artist who has often
created installations and played with many mediums, I feel that public art
brings the art straight to a mass viewer ship. Art and fashion
mingle as designers extend their talent and creativity to bring public art
projects to life. Most importantly, it gets people talking about art and
expression.
Krsnaa Mehta saysArt is crucial to all our lives and can be found
even in the most unsuspecting aspects of the world around us.Interestingly, back
in 2015, designer Krsna Mehta had put up an non-woven
soft fabric for sale installation titled Vertical Mayhem at the Kala Ghoda
Arts Festival, representing the beauty and chaos of Mumbai."The inclusive fabric
installation aims to evoke emotions of love, harmony and peace, and encourages
passers-by to stop and think of all the natural and real beauty in the
world.Made with different fabrics from all over India, the hoops are strung
together to form a simple message of love by designer Manish Arora. We hope ‘All
We Need Is Love’ is able to strike a chord of love, peace and harmony with
everyone who sees it,†says Manish.Public art, is most often a reflection of
society or a projection of the artists’ emotions. Also, it is interesting to see
how an artist approaches a project and there is so much you can learn from a
single concept,†says fashion blogger Pallavi Singh. The installation was the
result of six months of ideating, 35 artisans and three months of execution.
Made with different fabrics from all over India, the hoops are strung together
to form a simple message of love by designer Manish Arora. While the mingling of
the art and fashion worlds is not a modern concept, the visibility of this
crossover is unfortunately rare in the mainstream. It makes people stop, wonder,
introspect or just soak the in sight.THE ASIAN AGE.The project is a part of
St+art and started when they approached him over a year ago with the idea to
collaborate on an inclusive piece of art. I want people to stop and ponder when
they look at the installation and for that minute, feel pure unadulterated
love,†says Manish, who has always thought of himself as an artist and a
designer and never limited his creativity.
