Charu Parashar celebrates Indian embroidery through her AW 14 collection

Designer Charu Parashar has showcased her latest Autumn /Winter 2014 collection called Blue Blood on Red Carpet at second day of ongoing Wills Lifestyle India Fashion Week at Pragati Maidan New Delhi.
Fashion designer Charu Parashar presented an ode to the rich Indian embroidery through her autumn/ winter collection.
Delhi based Parashar, who often uses various in thread works in her collections, said she wanted to revive the age old Indian embroidery techniques and present them in a westernised way.
The various embroidery techniques which she used were – Resham work, kasab embroidery and patterns with intricate applique work.


“I do embroideries but in different forms every time. This time it is concentrated on the Resham work. I just wanted to do something which has Indian roots but you can wear it over a Hollywood red carpet,” Charu Parashar told Fashiongaze after the show.
Her untitled collection comprised of kaftans, sarees worn over fitted jackets, tops and dresses in the hues of cobalt blue, black and red.
“The jackets are basically french knotted and I have paired them up with sarees because I know every Indian female must have gone bored with their regular blouses. This collection of mine is actually luxurios and glamorous,” she further added.
