“This is my second collection and there is a common thread that binds the two beautifully together. I have played with traditional Indian motifs of tota and mayna, but I have metamorphosised them into subtle origami forms,” said Tanira in a statement.
 
“Though I have attempted to explore the vast depths of patterns, therefore, my collection is infused with geometric forms ---- the circle and line. I have adapted these from my predecessor--- the cashmere collection and it will be a recurring leitmotif in my future projects,” she added.

Both origami and the use of bird motifs have a long and interesting history in the design sphere. Some of it is indigenous and others arrive from as far as Japan. John Galliano used origami rather effectively in his SS 2007 line for Christian Dior haute couture elevating it to the level of an art form.
 
Tanira Sethi is the daughter of Sunil Sethi, the president of the Fashion Design Council of India. The designer had launched her first collection cashmere saris, Taani, in January this year.
