Fascinated or Fixated Fridays

Its weekend time!

Well so I thought I will share my latest designs from my label, Anra, with you all. Also, on this note, let me announce, that I am participating in yet another exciting exhibition in town, called High Street Market via Moda - Monsoon Blues 2013. 

It's happening on 1st August from 11:00 Am to 11:00 Pm. 

So if any of you are in Kolkata and are fashion lovers, do visit my stall, I will be there throughout the day spreading my love for handwoven textiles.

So now let me show you some pictures of the latest shoot I did!

I sometimes wonder how at times I get really fascinated by some trends or colors for a really short while and then there are times when I get too stuck up on certain things as if I am fixated. Like for example, if I talk about colors, every season I have a new favorite. Right now its Coral. But the color that has kept me fixated  forever is Pink. 

Does it also happen to you guys or am I the only weird one?

If you are like me, I would love to hear about your fascinations or fixations, so do comment below to let me know how you like my latest designs?

What Now?

With the pressure of the exhibition and the launch of my label gone now, I got some time to relax and think about the bigger question ...... What next?

Although I haven't figured that out yet, I thought it would be a nice idea to share the collection here.

This cute little dress in yellow and maroon combination is perfect for this festive season. It has two shades of yellow and maroon straps, with detailing in two shades of green.

This little yellow dress, has a cute collar and keyhole at the back. Made in pure cotton with beautiful hand woven motifs all over, this makes for a festive wardrobe staple.

Take a look at all the other pieces from the collection on our Facebook page - Anra

You can now order Anra online at Indiebazaar!

Anra at Textures 2012

So as I was saying...We launched our first collection at Textures, a fashion exhibition, in Hauz Khas Village, New Delhi last week.

The response was very good! People loved the collection. We were fortunate to have Shaily Khera of Confessionz of a Closet and Bhavna Yadav of Muse~Me and u styled for eternity cover the event, which will be up on their blogs soon.

Here are some pictures of the event...
