Abraham & Thakore's new line reimagines the humble dhoti and lungi

- SHARMISTHA GHOSAL

Wrapped in Modernity

ABRAHAM & Thakore’s latest collection, ‘Warp and Weft’, lends a new fashion dimension to the humble dhoti and lungi that formed the cornerstone of the line.

Popular among both genders, these two traditional fashion forms have been given a global twist. The simple and understated dhoti with slim woven borders has been stylishly transformed into a handkerchief skirt or a baby doll top. The lungi’s easy, comfortable lines favoured by Indian men, were given a formal occasion wear direction. They have used ikat weaves reimagined in pure Tencel, to achieve softness and turned it into a soft and flowy drape.
