Samantha Ruth Prabhu, a staunch feminist icon, a pioneer of following her own inner compass is back at it again, reflecting her strength through her staunch fashion choices. For Samantha, hitting every goal post is motivation for hitting the next one and that in turn also reflects in what she wears. At the Hollywood reporter’s Women in Entertainment Conclave, Samantha gave a fiery keynote speech, commenting on the sheer audacity of being a woman in the industry. The event brought together creatives, luminaries and professionals from the entertainment background. Her dress became a sensation, something ahead of her time. She wore a tiger print bodycon with leheriya print and black pencil heels. Her hair was sleek and straight and she had no accessories, to make the dress stand out visually. An intricate micropleated structure, abstract tiger print drenched in amber and deep gold strokes brought together in a remarkable silhouette. This was a perfect choice for this event as it was bold, edgy and unconventional.
Understanding the Legacy of Leheriya
Leheriya is derived from the word leher, which translates to waves. They typically feature zig-zag patterns that are similar to waves. The fabrics are rolled up diagonally and twisted before they are dyed. A heritage craft that hails from Rajasthan, it is inspired by the way winds blow across the state of Rajasthan.
Saaksha and Kinni’s unique Concept:
Saaksha and Kinni brought a refreshing turn to the ethnic heritage of the timeless leheriya, reinterpreting it in the modern context. Usually, tiger prints are standalone, but here they were reimagined with leheriya waves making it a bold fashion statement. Saaksha and Kinni are the pioneers in quiet luxury and have with this concept proven that innovation is where the game lies.
- Fluid waves: Tiger prints were fluid and spread across the dress diagonally to give a feeling of waves in motion. A class in ethnic fusion with an edgy twist purposefully constructed across the fabric
- Not a strict animal print construction: Usually, designers stick to a type of print. For instance leopard prints or tiger prints. But here the ode to craftsmanship was enmeshed into an animal print, bringing to the fabric a fluid construction.
- While the label doesn’t matter, this can go under an abstract animal print category, or a fluid print category, an avant garde innovation in garment design.
- The color, design overall composition is a testament to the fact that Saaksha and Kini aren’t afraid of experimenting with the cultural, the poetic and the niche bringing together a fluid print into a timeless classic piece.
