At EEDA, we celebrate the essence of womanhood with a collection that speaks volumes of praise, purity, and unparalleled elegance. Born from the heart of Varanasi, a city woven into the fabric of India's rich cultural tapestry, EEDA stands as a beacon of luxury, blending the timeless heritage of Benaras fabrics with the innovative visions of contemporary design. Our name, EEDA, translates to "praise" in the vernacular, embodying our mission to adorn women in attire that praises their individuality, strength, and grace.
Banarasi ethnic wear, renowned for its luxury and intricate craftsmanship, is timeless. Yet, styling it for the modern woman involves blending traditional elegance with contemporary flair. Here are some chic and innovative ways to style Banarasi attire for a modern twist:
Minimalist Jewelry
Choose delicate jewelry such as thin gold chains, minimalist stud earrings, or simple bangles. This approach allows the fabric’s intricate designs to be the focal point. Consider geometric or abstract-shaped jewelry to give your traditional attire a contemporary edge.
Statement Footwear
Complement your Banarasi outfit with statement heels or block-heeled sandals. Go for designs that add a touch of glamour without overshadowing the traditional attire. For a more comfortable yet stylish option, try embellished flats or chic moccasins that offer both comfort and sophistication.
Modern Outerwear
Elevate your Banarasi co-ord set or lehenga with a touch of modern sophistication by layering it with our exquisite outerwear. Our ensemble features a long collared silk tissue overlay jacket that exudes refined elegance. The jacket is distinguished by its below-elbow-length sleeves adorned with golden patching, adding a sophisticated touch. The pants are enhanced with intricate patching on both sides, which accentuates the garment's unique appeal and texture. This combination creates a perfect balance between traditional craftsmanship and contemporary design, embodying classic charm with modern flair.
Asymmetry and Modern Cuts
Opt for designs and outfits that have more edge to them in terms of cuts with asymmetrical hemlines or unique drapes. Modern cuts and designs highlight the traditional fabric in a fresh way such as the Chamak Cuffed Shoulder Dress or the Dhun Zari Stripe Patch Slit Dress
Opt for suits with modern pleating such as the Noor Red Gather Kurta Set which has beautiful zarzodi embroidery and flare that adds charm and elegance to the red ensemble.
Chic Bags
Instead of traditional clutches, choose sleek, modern handbags or crossbody bags that complement the elegance of your Banarasi outfit. Trendy mini bags or statement clutches can add a playful and stylish touch to your look.
Sustainable Fashion Choices
Embrace the concept of sustainable fashion by re-styling your Banarasi pieces for various occasions. This not only promotes eco-friendly fashion but also showcases the versatility of your attire. Invest in timeless Banarasi pieces that can be styled in multiple ways, reducing the need for frequent purchases and contributing to a sustainable wardrobe.
