Concept

Lavanya K T’s collection works in the ivory and gold of Kerala’s Kasavu.

Pure ivory fabric with a classic golden border. Plain cream with delicate gold lines. Traditional Kerala temple patterns and motifs with gold detailing, and heavy antique-gold embroidery.

Alongside the traditional patterns come contemporary geometric ones with gold accents, modern silhouettes and smocking.

The making

From sketch to stitch

Four stages in the KIDAT studio: the drawing, the paper pattern, the cut fabric and the sewing machine.
