Intricate curves and the use of soft pastel colours define the Rococo style of art and architecture.
That's what inspired Aditi Chand, co-founder and chief executive of Varanasi-based designer label Tilfi Banaras, to bring the delicacy and grandeur of Rococo art together with Banarasi craftsmanship. Chand played with Rococo’s palette and motif vocabulary to give it a Banarasi interpretation for Tilfi’s new collection called “Quarter to Time". She has used classic Kadhua and Meenakari weaves of Varanasi to create patterns of acanthus leaves, roses, lilies, lilacs, and poppies seen in Rococo art.
