Fashion designer Purushu Arie’s latest design features the convertible sari drape which can be worn within 5 seconds! The convertible sari which features two armholes can also be worn as a notch-collared top with cowl back. This newest way of wearing the sari is also the easiest, fastest, and most comfortable way of draping a sari.
Purushu Arie’s latest functional upgrade involves two armholes that interact with the body where the wearer can simply slip in their arm. This sari not only converts into a notch-collared top but one no longer has to worry about pinning the sari to blouse or the sari falling off.
The convertible sari can be worn in anywhere between 2-5 seconds. The convertible sari transforms the cumbersome image of sari by offering speed, ease and comfort for our lightening fast lives.
The fashion video features popular fashion influencer Rupjyoti Gogoi and is lensed by Chennai based photographer Rajesh Thanikachalam & Liju John.
The versatile sari fits a variety of body types. Convertible sari is a size-neutral garment that can be worn by more than 4 different clothing sizes.
“The convertible sari was first created as part of my graduate design collection at NIFT New Delhi. At my graduation show, the audience broke into spontaneous applause in middle of the show when the sari was transformed into a top on ramp. That thrill from backstage is a moment I carried on and I developed the style further. As a designer, it’s my job to offer simplified solutions for real life. Not every Indian knows how to drape a sari – but that statement won’t apply any longer.” – Purushu Arie
