The very stylish Shobhaa De’ extends her creativity to design as she unveiled her latest range of festive cocktail sarees exclusively for Samsaara. Shobhaa De’ who is credited with having created a glamorous niche line called the ‘Cocktail Saree’, has explored its potential still further this season by drawing inspiration from the age-old ‘Ambi’ (Paisley) and exotic Egyptian motifs.
Samsaara hosted a preview to show Shobhaa De’s new range of sarees for the festive season ahead over a high tea.
Guests who came to see the sarees were Neerja Birla, Avanti Birla, Roohi Jaikishan, Sharmilla Khanna, Ramona Narang, Sharmila Thackeray, Meera Zaveri, Indu Shahani, Arti Surendranath, Zeba Kohli, Deepika Kewalramani, Sunita Saxena, Lavina Godwani, Tasneem Mehta, Anita Vaswani, Mona Roy, Hema Deora, Maya Khosla, Priyanka Thakur etc.
Shobhaa’s family, husband Dilip De, daughters Avantikka Khilachand, Anandita De, and son Aditya Khilachand were there to lend her support too.
This is her latest collection, which is a cocktail of designs from ancient cultures and contemporary times that make Shobhaa De’s Autumn/Winter’07 collection a must-have for those shimmery cocktail evenings. While the traditional motifs are inspired from ancient cultures like Egyptian and Japanese, the contemporary designs reflected in bright colours and vibrant motifs make the festive nights come alive.
Elegance and seduction weaves its way around Shobhaa De’s new range of Sarees, as the stark blacks and whites combined with neutrals along with a host of other colors play on fabrics like crepes, chiffons, georgettes and net.
Intricate Zari embroidery and patchwork running through the six yards of sensuousness feature mookaish, dabka, crystals and combined with designs woven in paisleys, stories evolving around Red and White colours to mark the festive season.
To complement the saree collection, Shobhaa has created a range of capes – thus enhancing the eternal grace of the saree.
