CHOLI AND JEANS

Designer Umar Sayeed pays homage to a tiny, yet traditional, piece of clothing

Radha, the goddess of love, wore it as she enticed Krishna. The gorgeous seductress Madhuri Dixit immortalized it in Khalnayak. From goddesses to actresses, seductresses to hostesses, nobody has been able to escape the charms of this ultimately sexy costume - the choli.

Traditionally worn with a ghagra or sari, the choli is an essential part of everyday life for women in the subcontinent. Realizing the worth of this miniscule but legendary piece of clothing, designer Umar Sayeed gives a contemporary touch by pairing it off with a western classic - denim jeans. Voila!

Umar keeps the tradition alive by using various classic cuts. Floral and figurative motifs and a vibrant palette symbolize Umar's fondest admiration for the eastern textile heritage. Pakistani cine superstar Resham joins Umar in this tribute to the choli.
