PARA
Shalini Jaikaria
India is a land of rich traditional heritage. These, like the roots of an old tree, lend
its people strength, identity and cultural values. But modernisation
has eroded the very crux, leaving us exposed and vulnerable.
PARABut I foresee a land in harmony with the past
and the present. My garment reflects this dream. Fiber glass and
resin, a product of the New World, are used to create a garment
inspired from the tree. A tree which is strong and rooted deep
in its past, yet its branches give forth new life each year. In my inner vision, I see such a country - old and strong, yet giving forth new ideas each season which, like flowers, fill
our lives with a fresh fragrance.
