Garments

Garments – Pieces of Poetry

Dig deeply into the Indian culture and one finds many philosophies rooted in our soil. They have a strong effect on our art forms like Painting and Sculpture, Music and Dance, Architecture, the day-to-day living. Even the garb of the Indians, reflects this diversity.

Yet there is an underlying current which is common to all Indians. This is the principle of “Bhakti” or Devotion leading to “Mukti” or Salvation.

APRA’S CLOSET is no exception to this. We work to recreate a segment of this beautiful philosophy – “Madhura Bhakti” – using our stitched and un-stitched garments as canvases.
In the concept of “Madhura Bhakti”, the devotee seeks God through a bitter-sweet human relationship, transcending to attain a higher spiritual level.

APRA’S CLOSET brings to you the different themes of Indian Mythology, based on this concept of “Madhura Bhakti”. Hence, sometimes a Stole will be decorated in the “Ghond” style of painting depicting “Kaliya-mardana” or a Kurti will be painted in the “Madhubani” style showing a love-lorn Nayika (a woman-in-love). A saree may be painted to show the Vatsalya Bhava, the maternal love of Yashoda and Krishna, in the Kalamkari style or a chunni may flaunt a Rajasthani Phad painting, and so on.

Because of its premium content and extremely artistic rendition, each garment becomes a style statement,distinctive in appearance for our esteemed clients.
