Madhuri Dixit Nene’s silk-tissue sari pairs peach tones with playful palm blooms

There are saris who feel intrinsically dry, so there are some who undoubtedly feel contemporary. But you cannot say the same thing about the latest look of Madhuri Dixit Nene that fills the gap between the two. The devotee of Sari, which has worn countless saris which extend to the range of heavy puithanis in Gossamer Mariffons, has impeccable talent to maintain tradition and when to rewrite its rules. This fishing creation looks like a sophisticated collision of charm of the old world and playful modernity.

From the house of Masaba, the sari of Dixit Nene has an interaction of textiles and a border decorated with Aari embroidery, glitter work and Kiran details. The base of the six yards is raw silk. It forms the canvas on which fanciful patterns of palm flowers are placed, creating a tropical appearance instead of a traditional look. But it is the Pallu fabrics that fly the spotlight. The fabrics, a textile born from the old weaving trades, draw attention to its Gossamer quality and its metal glow. Historians trace the line of fabrics with royal workshops, where the masters weaves have permeated the fabric of threads of gold and silver, of elaboration of the parts reserved for crowns and court ceremonies.

The base is raw silk, bordered by Aari embroidery, glitter work and Kiran border. The patterns of Palm Bloom are dispersed, a fun gap compared to the most familiar floral or paisley. The Pallu, in the crushed fabric, adds texture and shines to the whole. The fabrics – a fabric formerly woven in the royal workshops with threads of gold and silver – have long been precious for its gossamer finish and its metallic glow, which makes it a favorite for occasions of celebration.
