100 years of Mising fashion at one go
- City fashion designer charts tribes bridalwear down the ages A STAFF
REPORTER Telegraph India A model in a modern Mising bridal dress
Guwahati, April 18: What is a Mising girl most likely to wear on her wedding
day?
Mekhela chador, of course!
Wrong, fashion designer Anamika Patiri would say. For, thanks to her, next
time a Mising girl gets married, she will have 100 years of bridal fashion to
choose from.
And that is not just a variation of the ubiquitous mekhela chador.
The designer, who won rave reviews at her very first fashion show for her
attention to detail, is now documenting the evolution of Mising bridalwear over
the past century.
What a typical Mising bride used to look 100 years back is vastly different
from her new avatar, says Anamika.
My research will peep into the style statement of a typical Mising bride.
Earlier, bridalwear was less chic and more conservative, which represented the
simple living habits of the village belle. With time, change is inevitable. In
a way, my research charts the preferences of women on their big day down the
ages, said Anamika, who took up the project on behalf of a recently-floated
voluntary organisation, Mising Cultural Foundation, in Guwahati. In order to
understand the nuances of Mising craftsmanship, Anamika spent days speaking to
ethinic handloom artisans. Mising women of all age groups also came to her aid.
In her study, Anamika has divided Mising bridal wear into five stages.
In the first stage, titled ancient, a Mising bride wears an eri mekhela
with the traditional Mising flower motif, and a gero (a piece of cloth) tied on
the waistline, a gero to cover her chest and a yambo as veil.
The second stage shows the bride in a mugar mekhela, mugar riha (a piece of
cloth) and veil.
In the third phase, the bride is seen wearing the mekhela chador, riha and
blouse.
In the fourth stage, the bride sports mekhela chador, gero and blouse.
In the fifth stage, the modern stage, the Mising bride dons silk mekhela
chador, almost resembling an Assamese bride.
Anamikas research will soon be showcased at a fashion show organised by the
Mising Cultural Foundation.
There is no doubt that the traditional Mising fabric is quite rich and
gorgeous. Through the bridal fashion show, we will try to bring to the fore the
richness of the Mising weaving tradition. And this tradition certainly deserves
to be preserved, says Anamika.
