Sonali wore her black sari again this time going for a black blouse instead of contrasting like she did before with a red one.
While, my vote goes to the black on black one, which one gets yours?

Raghavendra Rathore’s collection for Chivas used clean, timeless lines and structure. Silks, brocades, wool, hand-woven fabrics all were used abundantly in the collection. There were Kimono sleeves, flowing silk dresses, prints, fabrics with metallic sheen, heavy use of belts and sharply tailored menswear. The colors were mostly neutral with blacks, browns, greys and blacks though a pop of color did make its way in now and then.
Rathore has also forayed into home textiles partnering with Carmichael House, the premium home textile brand for S Kumars.
This is what Rathore mentions about his collection – “By the rule of the book, people are attracted to beautiful things. The motifs are reminiscent of the bygone era in Rajasthan, and will flaunt the grandeur of murals, mosaics, palaces and forts,”
The collection is divided into two sub brands — the reasonably-priced Raghavendra Rathore Club Jodhpur, with modern chic design motifs; the luxurious Rathore Home is available at a higher price point. The pieces from the collection range from Rs 995 to Rs 4000.
Why do I have the feeling that tonight I won’t be sleeping too well on my current bed sheets!
