CHENNAI: Crisp pleats, perfectly tucked drapes and pallus fashioned in different variations. If you are a fan of flowy saris and wrapping yourself in them, 27-year-old Manikandan’s works as a sari draper will give you inspiration to further dabble in your pursuit of the six yards. “I wanted to become a fashion designer. However, due to my family’s insistence, I studied Electrical and Electronics Engineering. But the heart wants what it wants, doesn’t it? After I graduated, instead of working in an allied field, I started working in clothing stores and that’s when I learned the art of draping saris and understanding the fabric. It’s been 10 challenging yet gratifying years in the industry,” shares Mani, a native of Thiruvarur.
