Exhibiting 16 different styles of Hand Embroidery from Kutch, visitors to the Shrujan Hand Embroidery Echibition will find many new varieties of an eclectic mix of traditional embroidery on contemporary apparels, accessories and home furnishing, using traditional as well as contemporary fabrics. Shrujan is a 44 year old organization recognized for the finest quality of hand embroidery, garments, accessories and lifestyle products, according to a company statement.
The Exhibition will be held at the Aga Khan Hall, New Delhi on February 7-14, 2014 between 10:00 AM to 7:00 PM.The exhibition will showcase original hand embroidered fabrics that 3,500 craftswomen living in 100 remote villages of Kutch have fashioned into high quality products which include sarees, garments, bags and home furnishing and many more.
Today Shrujan enables nine communities that practice 16 styles of kutchi hand embroidery to earn a dignified livelihood. Craftswomen who are part of the Shrujan family work from home. Their rural way of life is not disturbed. Shrujan’s production team reaches the threads and fabrics to the craftswomen even in the remotest villages. The women do not have to pay for these materials. But they are paid for their skill and their time and that too right at their doorstep, as soon as they have completed the embroidery.
Shrujan began modestly as a small project during the severe drought in Kutch in 1969. With the help of local women its founder Chandaben Shroff developed a unique, sustainable means of income generation for village women. She got the local women to produce saris with exclusive embroideries. The first exhibition of saris was held in October 1969 in Mumbai with considerable success. The profits were re-invested into building the organization called Shrujan. For further details please visit shrujan.org.

Designer Kapil Arora could well have been leading the life of your average Delhi industrialist had it not been for a quirk of fate. Untrained formally in fashion, but used to wearing the best of clothes and accessories and with fine design sensibilities, Arora decided to take up the challenge of creating an outfit when a leading Delhi designer spoiled a gown that he was supposed to make for Kapil’s wife, Monika. This was more than five years ago. Kapil took on the challenge of creating a beautiful and well-crafted outfit at a short notice. And succeeded. What he created not only lived up to his wife’s expectations—always a tough task (!) —but also got his friends, family and neighbours talking. This was to be the starting point for a small, family-owned company, initially called ‘Monika’s Clothing’, that Kapil and Monika set up, beginning their eventful, if not long, journey into the world of high fashion.
Mmonika is a designer from the label Kapil and MMonika , being a part of the fashion industry for many years. She hails from an industrialist background . The self-trained designer has a keen eye for aesthetics and interesting interpretation of traditional Indian craftsmanship, soon had a steady and growing clientele.
