Pooja Shroff’s A/W'19 collection is inspired by a line of handmade Indonesian batiks that she acquired during her travels to Jakarta. She has named it Resist Aur Dye. The name takes after the process of making Batik. It comprises of a few couture statement styles but the majority of the collection comprises of prêt pieces colors black, gold, greys, dominate. Suede, silk, crepe cotton are fabrics used.
Pooja Shroff’s Spring Summer 2019 collection – Resist Aur Dye – is a tribute to Indonesian Batik fabric designing. Batik is a "resist" process for making designs on fabric. The designer has used wax to prevent dye from penetrating the cloth, leaving "blank" areas in the dyed fabric. The process, wax resist then dye, helps in designing beautiful designs with multiple color variants as well.
Pooja has done batik designing on various fabrics like cotton, silk, and other natural fabrics. This method required mastery of color mixing and over-dyeing; as each layer of dye is applied over the last a new color is produced, and Pooja has excelled in all the challenges in her new collection.
