For the vintage look

CLOTHES AND costumes of the past were regal - at least those worn by the royalty.

They were timeless traditions - the styling and the cuts and the gorgeous embellishments.

You see these classic creations adorning museums today. There have been attempts by designers to recreate these stunning ensembles. Art Karat (57 A, Khizrabad Village, New Friends Colony, New Delhi, tel: 011-6922686, 6922955) revives this royal legacy. Rather transports one to the era of 1920s.

Ruchika Modi recreates the everlasting traditions as part of the Vintage collection.

See this ageless grace at Gallerie Raphael, Amrutha Mall today (10.30 a.m. to 8 p.m.) On display will be a collection of saris and outfits in exotic fabrics - Jacquard, fine tissues, satins and brocades in rustic shades for morning and evening.

The imperial designs embellished with intricate embroideries in classic Indian motifs are indeed worth a look.
