In an era where true craftsmanship is a rarity, designer Mrunal Khimji is making a powerful statement with her debut collection, Lehren. Unveiled with a sense of purpose and artistry, this stunning collection is more than just a showcase of fashion; it’s a celebration of the ocean’s beauty and a heartfelt tribute to the artisans who bring Khimji’s vision to life with every stitch.
The name Lehren, meaning “waves” in Urdu, perfectly encapsulates the spirit of the collection. It captures the rhythmic dance of the sea, with each piece flowing like water, designed to mirror the calming movement of the waves. Crafted from luxurious crêpe fabrics, the collection features a range of garments including saris that drape like a gentle tide, kaftans that catch the breeze, and elegant jumpsuits and dresses that seem to move on their own.
But Lehren is more than just beautiful clothing; it’s a meaningful blend of cultures. Khimji’s designs bring together Indian and Arab influences in a way that feels both timeless and fresh. The intricate details, handcrafted by skilled artisans, reflect traditional techniques passed down through generations, yet the pieces have a distinctly modern feel.
Mrunal Khimji’s passion for sustainability isn’t just a buzzword; it’s woven into the very fabric of the collection.
