Pristine and pure, white is everyone's favourite. A woman clad in white is poetry in motion; fresh and fabulous, her aura radiates with grace. She is perceived as serene and resplendent with a timeless sense of style. And when blue, the colour of the heavens and Earth, accompanies white, perfection is achieved!

Summer is here in all her glory. And true to her nature, she is bestowing her bounty of heat and humidity upon us. In this rising temperature, the only material that is suitable to wear is cotton. Even better are handloom fabrics that are in a league of their own. Woven by hand with utmost care and love, these fabrics are incredibly special as well as versatile.

Renowned fashion designer, Tenzing Chakma, is well-known for his revival of indigenous textiles and promoting them with utmost flair and style. Reviving age-old traditional handloom fabrics with his unique way this summer, Tenzing Chakma has juxtaposed white against blue, in the calmest, softest rendition, and the result is in one word, stunning!

The most sumptuous white pinon-hadi with soft blue borders are absolutely beautiful, and is perfect for sweltering days of summer. Similarly, breezy and light, a turquoise saree with subtle white and golden embroidery is ideal for those leisurely lunches with one's closest ladies or a day at the theatre with friends in cultural pursuits!

Another gorgeous piece is a baby blue saree or pinon hadi with thin white stripes cleverly placed with intricate details in parallel lines. Subtle golden threads are woven deftly alongside creamy white stripes, making both the saree and the pinon-hadi remarkably elegant. When worn with pearls and a lovely bun, it is sophistication and elegance personified. Perfect for those evenings your friends have been dying to go to or the delightful lunch with your cousins, this saree is a great choice for every lady of leisure!

In essence, Tenzing Chakma's white and blue collection of pinon-hadi is stunningly beautiful and is par excellence. He has outdone himself with his sartorial offerings this year and deserves to be in your summer style repertoire!
