Payal Pratap launches collection @ FDCI X Lakme Fashion Week

08 April 2022, Mumbai:

Payal Pratap launched her Java collection at the FDCI X Lakmè Fashion Week in collaboration with Bemberg™ by Asahi Kasei, the Japanese yarn manufacturer leading in both innovation and sustainability.

With a strong focus on prints, the designer has worked on hand-painted artworks which have then been digitized.

The designs capture detailed elements and a three-dimensional depth and texture from the age-old crafts of Batik, plus powerful imagery and minute detailing from the ancient craft of Chintz printing. 

Batik was named after the Javanese words “Amba” which means to write and “Titik”, which translates to a dot or a point, while Chintz comes from the Hindi word “Cheent”, meaning spotted or speckled. 

Both these techniques and crafts have been used in a contemporary context while creating the art works.

The prints encompass flora and fauna, bringing nature from the outside to the inside through the use of extensive flower, leaf, tree, vine and bird motifs, as an ode to sustainability.

Placement prints have been engineered to make tailored jackets and structured pieces.  A timeless collection comprising experimental pieces that blend the far east with India. 

A collection signaling holiday with a burst of colour. Bemberg™ in various avatars ranging from satins, muslins, mulmul, and silk blends have been used to create a collection with fluid drapes as well as structure.
