Evoluzione presents péro Spring-Summer 2019 collection from 11th April
Evoluzione presents péro Spring-Summer 2019 collection from 11th April. Péro spring-summer 2019 is a sublime story that runs through deep waters, capturing and containing the richness of underwater landscapes. This collection takes us on a journey through long lost islands and calmness of the deep blue sea, both under and above water. We borrowed the colors from the marine landscape and life; this season we focus on the blue hues from the ocean, beige from the sands of the shore, ivory from the shells, and breathing newness into these tropical tones are coral and mustard from the underwater life.
Woven in various parts of India like West Bengal, Madhya Pradesh, Bhagalpur and Banaras, versatile across multiple categories this season our ginghams and tartans are lighthearted plaids featuring warm, upbeat pastels and neutrals together. Stripes are refreshed with wide widths in vivid contrasts, providing a contemporary vibe. Inspired by old luxurious French Brocades, we worked with ‘kadhwa’ weavers of Banaras, who embroider motifs on the loom while weaving the fabric, hence the name ‘Kadhwa’, a synonym of embroidery in Hindi.
Along with the simplicity of modern colors and prints are the decadent hand-embroideries, meticulously crafted and luxurious with elaborate floral motifs etched into hand-woven tartans and stripes, along with velvets and linens. The shimmer and reflection of light in water have been captured by rendering these delicate aquatic prints of flora and fauna, through a gradation of sequins, beads, and threads on hand-woven grounds. We explored the idea of mix media with carefully sourced sequins, individually wrapped in our textiles to create flowers of various forms. We also created flowers using French beadwork techniques and intricate cutwork. Bold intense textures with frayed edge patchwork sit alongside delicate thread and beadwork.
