Silk Clothing

Silk in South Asian dress is a family, not a single fabric — mulberry with its even sheen, tussar pulled from the eastern forests with a deeper tone, raw and matka silk that keep the slub of their making. The pieces here run from structured shirting to fluid drape, from independent designers across New Common's movements who build with the fibre rather than print over it.

Questions & Answers

What kinds of silk are in this edit?
Mulberry, tussar, raw and matka silk, from designers working with Indian weaving regions. Each behaves differently — mulberry falls smooth, tussar holds structure, raw silk keeps its slubbed surface.
Is this everyday or occasion silk?
Both. It spans relaxed silk shirting and separates alongside heavier occasion pieces; filter by movement to narrow.
