Preserving ancient textile tradition: pero

pero by Aneeth Arora is a label dedicated to utilising the textiling skills and traditions of ancient India. This season, the focus is on fabrics like ikats and natural dyed khadi from Andhra Pradesh and checks and stripes from Madhya Pradesh. The predominant colours are red and white. Take a look.

Strawberry musings make their way out first, courtesy this country-girl peasant-style outfit.

Next up is a panelled shirt, worn over very comfy-looking linen pants for men. The flipflops add a relaxed touch.

Arora mixes and matches multiple prints and layers for that effortless boho-chic effect.

Things take a subtle but distinct turn with this pretty white number, which leaves behind the country cutie and picks up on the urban belle.

Dotted jodhpurs go charmingly well with a pale peasant blouse, with a scarf worn over one shoulder.

Sahil Shroff looks at home in this cool get-up -- relaxed pants, topped off with a layered shirt and neckscarf.

In hotpants, teamed with a flowing vest, blouse and jhola-style bag.

A few of Arora's creations take to the ramp one last time at the closing of her show. What do you think of her country couture?
