ACHROMATIC

The serenity of white
The mystery of black
The emergence of greys

Playing with form, texture, pattern & proportions in Blacks, Whites and Greys, the collection explores a gamut of shapes for the modern woman who cherishes the beauty of hand-made.

Making use of their vast repository of engagement with Indian handlooms and craft traditions, amrich offers a range of chic separates made with exquisite hand-crafted natural textiles. The luxurious fabrics have been specially developed in different parts of the Country in hand-spun cottons, silks and silk/cotton and silk/linen blends.

There is a joyful take to mixing and matching of textures, forms and opacities through different textiles and fabric constructions in the line. The use of thick hand-spun cotton yarn inserts woven with lightweight sheer silk, to create exquisite translucent fabrics whilst also making use of the yarns to play with checks and stripes. Textures have been created on textile surfaces making use of hand-pleating techniques bound by the humble running stitch as well as through exquisite embroidered bead & thread-work. Using the knowledge of texturing through shibori processes and merging that with the ancient process of hand-block printing, a number of exquisite prints have been created. There is newness created in the signature shibori patterns by way of introducing interesting fabric manipulations in the process.

The colour palette as the collection name suggests, runs the gamut from whites to blacks giving birth to elegant greys. The collection channelizes the timeless grace of the hand - made into garments that are easy, versatile, modern and evocative.
