Chaurasia’s Flute Breathes New Life into Fashion Show

Satya Paul, the designer brand, launched its autumn/winter collections 2002/03 with the beats of classical music by India’s internationally acclaimed flutist Pandit Hariprasad Chaurasia, who performed along with other renowned artistes like Pandit Umayalpuram K Sivaraman who presented the mrudangam ensemble and Ustad Wasifuddin Dagar who sang the Dhrupad.

The models walked the ramp to the melodious notes from Chaurasia here on Friday night, September 27. The flutist performed live for a fashion show for the first time. Satya Paul’s collection included saris, western wear, lehenga and suites in vibrant colours.

The first of the exclusive series of Satya Paul fashion presentation across six cities in India begins from Mumbai. The brand is poised to have a chain of exclusive Satya Paul salons in Mumbai, Bangalore, Hyderabad, Jaipur, Chennai, Madurai and Kolkata.
