Designer duo to host sari festival in Delhi

Kargha, a Saree Festival will be organised by designer duo Asha and Gautam Gupta from July 13 to 18 in New Delhi. Kargha (handloom) is a festival that exhibits their latest amalgamation with the Indian handloom weaves adopted from various parts of India that include Patan, Uppada, Paithan and Banaras. The latest collection, in colours like fuchsia, flamingo pink, blue and purple is designed by incorporating several art and crafts like Ikat, Batik, Patola and Paithani.

"It is another endeavour to promote handloom from our end. Collaborating with weavers from these new clusters will be a great journey for us," Gautam said in a statement. Asha shared that in the fast changing fashion, saris are one of the most elegant statements. "I don't think it can ever be replaced," she added.
