When it comes to design, what are the limitations you work with?
Sonia: The restraints are purely cultural. Sleeveless is a huge issue, forget spaghetti straps. There is the back issue; nobody wants a low back. Girls have finally gotten around to showing a little bit of ankle and we’ve been trying to get them to wear shorter shirts in the day. But apart from that, the conservative nature is very strong and I don’t think that is going to change. The dupatta is always going to be around. Women will cover themselves when they go out, even if it’s with that flimsy chiffon dupatta.
When I say ‘most’ women I’m talking 90 per cent. There are only three to four girls who will wear fashion as we see it and they’ll be featured in magazines but that’s not your mainstream. So if you’re talking about mainstream fashion, then nothing has changed. And that’s the biggest limitation when we sit down to design.
Fashion has become more colourful and more playful but not in terms of style. Necklines and colours can change, we can introduce prints and play around with the sleeves or the front and back of a shirt. But as far as the construction of the garment goes, there is very little you can do. When it comes to the balance between conservatism and being a little risqué, women are not going to change the way they dress. We have to concede to that fact.
Our traditions are so strong that they dictate fashion. Red is standard for shaadis. We shifted the trend to magenta but it took ages for women to accept it. Evolution is slow. This is the first time in 23 years that we’ve done three black wedding ensembles.
