About Modern & Artistic Styles

When you choose a modern silhouette like a collared blouse or a hand-painted piece, the fabric weight becomes critical. We use structured raw silks that hold these contemporary shapes perfectly while ensuring the zardosi or thread work does not sag. Whether you are bringing us a concept for a fusion look or want to adapt one of our signature hand-painted motifs, the fit remains our priority.

Our approach to modern ethnic wear is rooted in the belief that fusion should not compromise tradition. We see many clients in Bengaluru wanting to move away from standard patterns, so we introduce structural elements like notched lapels, angrakha-style wraps, and scalloped necklines into our blouse tailoring.

These pieces require a different construction technique than a traditional blouse. For our collared designs, we use specific canvas fusing to ensure the lapels stay crisp through a long event. When working with hand-painted fabrics, we select base silks that act as a stable canvas for the artist, ensuring the pigments bond correctly without bleeding.

We invite you to share your vision. You can bring us a specific fusion concept, or we can suggest designs that balance modern aesthetics with the rich embroidery heritage we are known for. Every detail, from the placement of a beaded tassel to the precision of a neck cutout, is mapped out during your consultation at our Bommanahalli studio. We also provide guidance on how to pair these statement pieces with your existing saree collection, ensuring versatility.
