A LOVE SONG

“As the rice grains reach maturity, they long for the rays of the sun. They yearn to be kissed so that they can continue to grow and turn golden.” The Paddy envisaged as heroines.
The costume design was inspired by the different hues of warm colours of the paddy field during the sunset. The thread embroidery of the arch spiral motifs has been chosen to depict the heroine’s coyness, glamour and curvaceous beauty. The embellishment of the gold laces with triangle lines portrays the uneven field of Paddy, illustrating the idea of love rising despite many layers of emotional hurdles. Adding depth to the design, different colours of the rice grain have been highlighted to show the diverse Asian ethnicities.
