Shanvi - Kumari Kandam


KUMARIKANDAM is an amalgamation of Tamil Nadu and Bengal,
seamlessly marrying their rich textile heritage, aesthetics and crafts. Silk Kanjivarams 
super fine Bengal cotton muslin, taanths and jamdanis fluidly coexist, highlighting the
unique graphic character of both textiles. Hand woven check patterns, temple borders,
Kolum and Alpona motifs blend together with ocean life prints and embroideries to
create a harmonious marriage of contrasting yet common elements that are so integral
to both cultures. The ocean life print in this beautiful gown very subtly includes 3 Vishnu Avataars, namely
Matsayana (fish), Kurma (tortoise) and Kalki (horse) which we have interpreted as a
seahorse.
