Pratima Pandey

Paro

Autumn || Winter 2022

She dares to dream. She is proud. She is unshakeable. She is a graceful embodiment of passion. She is the new-age Paro.

The collection takes inspiration from the eternally beautiful “Paro” – Sarat Chandra Chattopadhyay’s protagonist from his classic novel Devdas (1917), reinventing her demeanour and discovering her fiery side. Exploring classic cuts from 1920’s in layering with a twist, all in handwoven silk chanderi and Maheshwari with delicate flora-fauna embroidery. The bright colour splashes of desire, colour blocked emotions and tonal colour moods - all reflecting her efforts, where the focus now being on herself without guilt.

Betrayal and restrictions are a thing of the past, where she was trying to fit in, the Paro of today is all set to change the narrative by setting new standards, taking on the reins of her life to a better, stronger tomorrow.
