Spring Summer 2024 is set in this little world that lives in harmony with nature. Featuring relaxed, yet timeless silhouettes of dresses, shirts, pants, and jackets in French linen, hand-woven cottons, gabardine, and taffeta silks, chanderis,
and Mashru, the garments spring to life with classical techniques and newer discoveries that evoke yearning for a simpler time through hand-painted vintage floral prints, lace, tulle, mesh, and cotton, classic petit point embroidery, beaded detailing, cross stitch, and french knots. Camellia, the flower of love, bloom on the textiles as weaves, prints, embroidered bullion knots, hand crocheted surface ornamentations, and buttons. Drawing from the hand embroidered initials seen in vintage French home textiles that personalized everyday objects, the word ‘LOVE’ appears as an element of surprise.

Our constant partners, the refugee Afghani women, contributed towards the co-creation of this season’s garments in crochet, released as detailing and as entire garments.

‘péro’ means ‘to wear’ in Marwari, the local language of Rajasthan. péro interprets international aesthetic using local material and skills, taking inspiration from what surrounds us, to make a product that connects with people, wherever in the world it is placed.

The Indian-ness of péro rests in the textile process, where materials pass through the hands of one craftsperson to the other, carrying forward the Indian tradition of hand-crafting and creating pieces that are at once unique. The resulting garment evokes some sense of culture from where it originates.

This culture communicates internationally in a way that the wearer looks equally at ease in the streets of Paris or London, as she does here, in India. The look is not about an age group or season, it is about a mindset, a willingness to incorporate the effortless style of the locals.

The label is launched by Aneeth Arora, a textile graduate from National Institute of Design, Ahmedabad and a fashion graduate from National Institute of Fashion Technology. She calls herself a ‘textile and dress maker’ and what fascinates and inspires her most is the clothing and dressing styles of the local people, which makes them so effortlessly stylish and trendy, therefore making them real trend-setters of our time.
