Recreating Shivaji’s attire in Royal collection

- STAFF REPORTER

The trend of Royal Wedding is gaining pace rapidly with new ideas and designs all over India as well as in other countries.

People love to dress like their ideal kings and queens in their life’s biggest moments. Till date, Maharashtr­a’s most important and revered king Chattrapat­i Shivaji Maharaja’s exact dressing style has not been used yet in any wedding.

Keeping this in mind, wellknown traditiona­l fashion designer Deepak Mane created a unique collection of Chattrapat­i Shivaji Maharaja called SHIVJATAST­A for Indian weddings. This collection will be exclusivel­y presented in London. Pune citizens are always ahead of time in every field. We can be a trail blazer in the field of fashion too? With this curiosity and wanting to do something new Deepak Mane and his team came up with the idea of recreating Maharaja’s dressing style with contempora­ry weaving and stitching. Shivjatasy­a consists of special ornaments, esthetic wear, Mojadis (royal shoes), Pagdi (Royal Turban). London already has Shivaji Maharaja’s sword and Throne. Now, Deepak Mane wants to tell the story of greatness and bravery of Shivaji Maharaja to the whole world through his exclusive collection.

India Fashion Week Olympia was scheduled in London on Sunday November 11. Shivaji’s dressing style with modern touch with royal jewellery and ornaments was presented in its fashion week. Presenting Maharaj’s collection on such a big platform will make Deepak Mane the first designer to do so. It took continuous and meticulous study for two years to come up with such an elegant collection that will convey the majesty of the great Maratha King. Deepak Mane’s effort is to provide the traditiona­l fashion lovers with Kings and royal personalit­ies dress, turban (feta, pagdi), ornaments, shoes, chappals etc under one roof. People looking forward for a grand and royal wedding can also find elephant, horse, royal collection, doli and any other finest thing required at Mane’s huge collection.

Deepak Mane said “I am a Maharashtr­ian and I am proud of it. Taking the story of our greatness and royalty to the internatio­nal level is the purpose of our Shivjatsta collection. I am confident that people will admire our work and acknowledg­e the majesty of our King.”
