DESIGNER duo – the MAPXENCAR sisters – will present a collection inspired by their visit to spiritual guru Sri Sri Ravi Shankar’s Ashram in Bangalore during the upcoming Lakme Fashion Week 2013.
Riddhi and Siddhi Mapxencar own a fashion label mapxencaRS.
‘The idea for this collection came from our visit to Sri Sri Ravi Shankar’s ashram in Bangalore,” Riddhi Mapxencar said in Mumbai.
The Mapxencar duo has named their collection ‘Son Shringar’.
‘The collection is meant to inspire you to go within and be pure in soul like gold and yet enhance the life around you.
‘Just as gold cannot be affected by any acid, and is deemed the purest metal, which even when it goes through fire, gets only more purified, so does the soul, as it goes through the tap' of sadhana and dhyana (yoga & meditation) becomes more pure,’ Siddhi Mapxencar said, explaining the theme of the collection.
The sister duo will experiment with Indo-western silhouettes for the first time this season.
“The colour palette will have shades of creams, teal blue, pink and orange with hints of gold,” Siddhi added.
The duo had received a good response during the India Resort Fashion Week, held in Goa in December last year.
