A silent crusader of the Indian Fashion Industry, 'Style Guru' Suneet Varma has been a name to reckon with from its very infancy.

Ever since Suneet has been involved myriad of activities enveloping almost every perceivable aspect of the concept of fashion ranging from revival of weaving and embroidery, researching and developing couture embroidered garments for international design houses like Donna Karan, Carolina Herrera, Mary Mcfadden, Nicole Miller. Designing and manufacturing embroidered handbags and fashion accessories for the MET, NYC.

Over the illustrious journey spanning fifteen years, Suneet has done so far acclaimed solo shows in London, Paris, New York, Hong Kong, Davos, Dubai, Bangkok and Jakarta.

Suneet Varma launched his first ever prêt collection Le SPICE at the LIFW 03, Mumbai. The essence of Le SPICE is in the spirit of the Suneet Varma woman, who is Sassy, Sexy and Spicy! The clothes are an amalgamation of Suneet's look developed over the last fifteen years with his COUTURE and COLLECTION clientele and the need for a more affordable, youthful yet stylish line. Certainly the need of the hour, for catering to a larger client base!

The Le SPICE silhouettes have been developed over a period of four months after great research on the most successful (read affordable!) price points which offer wearability in a wide range. The collection will retail at Rs 4500 - 6850 (MRP) for full ensembles and the separates are priced at Rs 800 - 2200 (MRP).

The label besides maintaining the Suneet Varma look has developed a very distinct look of its own.

The collection was featured on the ramp for the first time at the LIFW 04.

The collection offers stylized tunics in a variety of shapes with cowl necks, handkerchief & bell sleeves, interesting neckline details and short sleeve options. The A line skirts are floor length with textural embroidery in whimsical motifs and are layered for a young colourful look. The short skirts are spicier, cut on the bias with interesting details of coloured bands, beaded tassels on hems and matching embroidered belts. Both the lengths can be worn with great looking separates like sporty tanks and short fitted shirts.

The colours are bright in hues of lime, yellow, red, cobalt blue, orange and fuchsia pink. The black, beige and whites, the all time favorites. The fabrics are light weight chiffons, drapy georgettes and stretch cotton for the right fit.

The collection can be worn as striking separates or as twin sets depending on the occasion and desired effect of the spicy Suneet Varma client.

Presently the collection is being retailed at 25 stores across the country.

2005 will see the introduction of a menswear line.
