Gauri Khan talks about collaboration with Satya Paul and inspiration behind her debut

Developed along the lines of a cruise collection, “A Tropical Wonder” explores exotic prints which have been rendered on casual and occasional wear separates such as sheer tunics, flowing kaftans, shift dresses and fluid saris. The colour palette, true to the theme, brings in a mix of aqua tones, breezy pastels and fresh citrus hues interpreted in the brand’s signature style of abstract art and digital painting.

For the collection, Bollywood’s first lady admits she dipped into her own wardrobe. “The collection showcases a distinctive aspect of my own personal style which is pared down, comfortable yet very feminine. Satya Paul has a unique take on design and through this collection I wanted to showcase a more effortless side to the brand,” says Khan. She even features in the advertising campaign for Spring-Summer 2015 wearing saris from the line.

While Gauri Khan is non-committal on whether she plans to launch her own fashion label some day, this year-long association with the brand will hopefully result in more than one collection. “I think this year has a lot of interesting projects lined up and at this point I’m excited to see what comes of leading the design direction at Satya Paul,” she says.

The range will be retailed across Satya Paul flagship stores starting this month with prices beginning from Rs 10,995.
