BANAFSH

Filter

    Banafsh draws from the faded grandeur of the Bohravad havelis of the Dawoodi Bohra merchants in Siddhpur, where pastel façades reveal layers of Victorian, European, Indian and Islamic influence. Inspired by the vivid palette of Bohra women’s burqas, zesty lime, soft blues and pinks unfold across bridal ensembles grounded in Aisha Rao’s signature appliqué which reuses discarded fabric and on tissue silk, enriched with intricate aari, zardozi and mukesh. Rooted in tradition yet shaped for the present, Banafsh finds new beauty in the poetry of bygone worlds.
