EKAYA BANARAS
Ekaya is a contemporary, bespoke brand presenting the finest works of Banarasi art from the Indian craftsman’s repertoire. It has been brought forth by one of the country’s best-known families renowned for preserving the traditions of Banarasi textiles for over four generations. All of Ekays's products are pure banarasi silk and completely handwoven. Ekaya has a variety of products randing from sarees and lehengas to dresses and thaans.
My project for Ekaya was to work on an apparel collection which was a collaboration with a team of French designers Piere and Daniel. I along with my team mate Parul Suthar, worked on the patterns and execution of the same. I also made a few artworks which were later woven into kali panels and stitched into twisted lehengas.
