Arabil – Pink

Step into a world of ethereal grace with ‘Arabil,’ a soft pink three-piece ensemble that celebrates the delicate artistry of Lucknowi Chikankari. This craft, which found its zenith under the patronage of the Nawabs of Awadh, is reimagined here for the contemporary connoisseur. The straight-cut kameez is a marvel of textural depth, featuring ‘Bore’ embroidery—a meticulous laser-cut and hand-finished technique that creates a mesmerizing lattice effect across the torso. The fabric, a high-grade breathable lawn-cotton blend, serves as the perfect backdrop for the vibrant floral bunches that bloom at the hemline in shades of tangerine, violet, and moss green. These botanical motifs are rendered in high-definition silk thread-work, providing a striking contrast to the monochromatic pink base. The sleeves are a focal point, featuring translucent organza inserts and intricate scalloped borders that mirror the sophisticated craftsmanship of the neckline. The accompanying trousers are designed with a wide-leg silhouette, finished with heavy tonal embroidery and cutwork detailing at the ankles to ensure a cohesive aesthetic from head to toe. The dupatta is light as air, featuring a scalloped edge and delicate floral sprigs scattered throughout. For an elegant Eid lunch or a sophisticated daytime garden party, pair ‘Arabil’ with oversized pearl drops, a soft dewy makeup look, and embellished silver khussas. The silhouette offers a relaxed yet refined fit, allowing for effortless movement while maintaining an aura of high-fashion poise. ‘Arabil’ is an invitation to embrace the serenity of pastel hues and the enduring legacy of South Asian hand-embroidery.
