He was in Mysuru, according to the complainant.
To Urvashi, textiles are meant to tell stories of cultures. “I incorporate a new craft language every year,” she says. Urvashi likes to add modern spins to traditional textiles and techniques. For instance, she brings a geometric arch to block-printing. “In Prana, showcased at Lakme Fashion Week along with other collections curated over 15 years, I worked with tissue and metallic yarn woven in Chanderi, and merged it with jamdani. On the ramp, the collections celebrated lehariya done with kota doriya, a sheer tent dress with chaap silai, metallic block prints, hand-woven denims, Kutch weaves with kala cotton and Maheshwari weaves; you will also find a lot of micro-pleating with kantha stitch,” she says.
