Fashion designer Rahul Vijay has deconstructed actor Prateik Babbar바카라s look from the Cannes screening of his mother Smita Patil바카라s film 바카라Manthan바카라.

바카라Manthan바카라 was screened in the Classics section of the prestigious film festival and saw Naseeruddin Shah, his wife Ratna Pathak Shah, Prateik and social entrepreneur Verghese Kurien's daughter, Nirmala Kurien in attendance. On Saturday, Rahul took to his Instagram and shared pictures of Prateik바카라s attire which was made from recycled Kanjeevaram sarees of his mother.

Rahul also penned a long note in the caption, describing the outfit. He wrote: 바카라This one is special! Thank you @_prat for letting me dig into the archives of your late mother, and the very iconic #SmitaPatil. When Prateik called me up asking me to dress him up for the Indian premiere of #Manthan, #SmitaPatil바카라s first movie that was shown at the recent Cannes Film Festival, I knew I had to bring in elements of Smita Patil바카라s style into his look.바카라

It was challenging because they were getting womenswear pieces and moreover they didn바카라t know what they would end up finding in Smita Patil바카라s wardrobe that would match Prateik바카라s style. However, Prateik바카라s aunt helped them as she was kind enough to give them eight sarees to play around with. The designer further mentioned: 바카라We narrowed down on two beautiful silk Kanjeevaram sarees. One had this pinstripe pattern all over in a dark maroon & black, and the other one was a plain black silk saree preserved to perfection. 바카라Next, the challenge was to think of a silhouette or design that would do justice to the sarees and would also not compromise on Prateik바카라s style. After much back & forth with designers, I finally called up @monicashah1207 of @jade_bymk who instantly said yes! Thank you Monica for doing this for us in a record 48 hours.바카라

He shared that they wanted to keep the silhouette very very modern considering we were recycling Indian sarees. I always like the juxtaposition of Indian textiles with modern silhouettes. 바카라Finally, we decided on a cropped double-breasted tuxedo in plain black silk & we recycled the second pinstriped saree into wide-legged pants and used the red border of the saree as trims on the sleeves ( the design was lifted from a recent look that the brand did for their couture collection). 바카라Sustainable fashion with an emotional connection, this look has it all! Thank you to everyone at Jade involved with this project and my super super team @disha_punjabi and @simranbhatia28. Never thought I would recycle two sarees into menswear! Shoes by @louboutinworld.
