Within Bunto Kazmi’s atelier, an embellished swathe of fabric moves beyond the generic realms of apparel and becomes art. An embroidered shawl may tell the story of a Tree of Life, or a heavenly garden inspired by Sharar’s Firdaus-i-Bareen may come to life.
Butterflies will flit on the canvas, their wings splayed out in myriad colours, trellises will wind past exotic flora. Every flower petal will have a unique shade and the miniature men and women will tell stories of their own, each with a different facial expression created with such startling precision that it’s hard to believe that they have been etched with thread and needle, and not with a paintbrush.
