Debashri Samanta |
Debashri Samanta, believes in merging modern
silhouettes with a hint of earthy sensibility. This Gen Next designer draws
inspiration and engages with weavers around West Bengal to create the balance
between down-to-earth sensibility and high-fashion boldness – giving a couture
feel to her designs.
A graduate of the National Institute of Fashion
Technology, 2007 batch, Samanta uses innovative fabrics for designing modern
silhouettes. She experiments with unusual textures, varied constructions and
abstractions that blend to create the feel of modern-rustic. Targeted at the
new-age woman who enjoys both exclusivity and her roadside chai, this eponymous
label, Debashri Samanta was launched in 2011. It emphasizes
unique handloom weaves with a touch of statement drapes that meld into
comfortable and ready-to-wear clothes.
Samanta’s LFW
SR 2013 collection draws its inspiration from ‘yarns.’ She shares “The charm of
my collection lies in its interesting use of yarn which celebrates its essence,
despite being a fundamental material in the construction of fashion garments.This
collection is rich in the workmanship of our weavers and tailors. Surprising to
most, the entire collection has been created from handloom cottons!”
