Saree Trunk Show

Another fun Saturday afternoon in Bangalore. We attended an afternoon of hors d'oeuvres and Australian Coonawarra premium wines sponsored by The Watson Group. The event was held at Sunri, a sophisticated lifestyle boutique.

Textile and Fashion Designer Julie Kagti show cased her saree collection and I was one of the 6 models that got to wear her beautiful handcrafted sarees with amazing hand embroidery for the day.

Each of the 6 sarees were draped differently, representing the different regions in India e.g. Andhra Pradesh - Nivi, Tamil Nadu - Dravidian etc. My saree was draped in Gujarati style which is how women in North India wear saris typically.

Some of the ladies standing around in my favourite home furniture and accessory store, sipping a lovely Australian white.

The models - Monique, Lanke, Edith, Mei, me and Kayoko

Marc playing with his new toy, took this very arty shot of the sarees hanging on the rails.

Me in my glamorous saree, still sipping the white..
