For a cause A creation to be auctioned

The designer duo is obviously elated at Kidman modelling their creation. “She will wear a long ladies’ jacket, more like the Indian sherwani. It will have a variety of colours, the base of which will be blue along with red and yellow,” says Rahul. The Indian touch will be the large black bindi the actress will sport. The dress worn by Kidman along with 16 others will be auctioned after the show.

Rahul and Gunjan have worked on a new theme for the Australia show. They have given a different slant to their artistic experiments for the collection.

Called “Wearable Art,” the range is meant to be a merger of art and fashion. The thread is integral to the collection which will resemble works of art, says Rahul.

“The thread does the function of a brush and makes the outfit look like a painting. The 17 outfits on show include gowns, saris, jackets and dresses. They will have threads of different colours and hardly any embroidery,” explains Rahul.

“We have experimented at a different level for this collection,” adds Rahul.

The designers, already in Australia, are content to be part of a noble cause. “We have been exporting to Australia for a while now and the buyers there have really liked our products,” says Rahul on the charity show to be choreographed by Shiamak Davar.

The duo will showcase 36 garments under the creative category at the WIFW.
