Bibhatsa – Lines of discomfort, turned into lines of grace (Top & Bottom)

Unexpected beauty born of discomfort. The Bibhatsa ensemble from our Navarasa series draws inspiration from the wrinkles that gather when one frowns in disgust — a moment of emotion translated into design.

The blouse features intricate pin tuck fabric manipulation with pearls, creating texture reminiscent of tightened brows and compressed thought, while remaining soft and graceful. Paired with an ash-blue skirt, the ensemble balances intensity with calm, making even a traditionally uneasy rasa feel poised and wearable.
