From my mother's closet...

I had mentioned in my last post that I was working on a concept. Well, for a long time I have been fascinated by a lot of Indian crafts. And the other day while ransacking my mother's wardrobe, amongst all her lovely sarees, I found one that was very unique to my eye. It was a usual cotton woven saree which we call as 'taant' in Bengali. A pale pink base with the design woven in a deep ink blue. And as I have always loved wearable fashion, an idea popped into my head.



I love the way the threads are woven so intricately to create such amazing designs.





Well here's the full shot!



Its a straight cut sheath dress with a little metal at the back.




Well I hope you liked what you saw. Do let me know if I can improvise on anything!


Hope you guys are having a wonderful week!

Blog turns a year old....

It’s been a year I wrote my first post and I can say I have moved a long way since there.


I love that I have made new friends through this blog and have received new opportunities. I agree that I have been a little slow but that’s just a part of the process. I hope to grow more along with my blog, make more friends from across the world and I make a promise to take up blogging a little more seriously from now and work on it more.


Now taking a look at what has been happening…..



I bought a dress form UK size 12. I have been planning to get started with my own clothing line for a looong time now. So this is my first step towards that.



I had made this cropped jacket in my final year of college. I never had the chance to do a photo shoot. And since I had recently bought the dress form, thought it would be a good idea to showcase it.



My friend Anupriya DG of Chappals vs Stilletos who has a fabulous brand "Howrah Bridge" had come up with a line of cotton scarfs in some amazing retro prints. I had told her to keep one for me. And I finally got it.


And outfit post is in the cards.



I have started working on a concept. I have a lot of glass beads, sequins and glass cut-pipes and Vogue. Any guesses on what I'm making?



New ballerinas with cute bows on it.

A lot of outfit posts are in working right now.


Be sure to check back in a couple of days.


Thanks to everyone who has supported/helped me in this one year.
