REVEAL THE VERY SOUL OF INDIAN CULTURE

Image
In today's scenario, dresses and fashion is the best way to convey our feelings and showcase our tradition and culture. We know that Indian culture and textiles can't be described in one frame. Wanted to share my experience wearing Kalamkari hand-block printed A-line sustainable dress. Kalamkari is an ancient Indian textile tradition in which designs are fully hand-drawn or block printed using vegetable dyes. There are two main styles in Kalamkari hand painting - one is a fully hand-painted style, and the other style is the block printed style, which has a wider application in garments and articles of everyday use. Here, in this vlog, I am sharing my experience wearing a Kalamkari block printed dress, which is very comfortable and easy to wear, as all art and traditions are rooted to nature; this outfit gave me the same feeling. I was free, and comfortable going near nature; to feel its beauty; ...

After walking the line between classy and flashy, Leopard print is back again in 2020. If you are following my blog you must know my choices and styles. I am very experimental in dressing and styles. If someone new is reading a blog here, I must tell you that I am the nature lover, as everyone is, anything that nature provides fascinates me, and its not that all nature lover likes flowers only; some may like the unique creatures of Earth like animals and birds, apart from human, and when fashion has given us the opportunity to enjoy fashion with wild prints and cute silhouettes, why would we not try, right?

Glad that you are here reading this blog about stripe fashion and style and here we the stripe lovers unite. It is true, that stripes are considered timeless classics and we every women has stripe collection in our closet. It is something that we can wear anywhere , and style it accordingly.  Here, I am wearing a blue and white vertical stripe slit dress paired with black heels.

CORSET STORY AND ME

Image
 Corsets are the best choice in flattering the tummy and cincing the waist. It gives our body an enhanced curvier shape. Now, you might be wondering why I am telling you about corset. I think the one who is reading this blog is also more into making their tummy look sexy and how to enhance curve like me, because I am always into it 😝. I feel every woman is beautiful and everyone of us has that god gifted curve; all we have to do is enhance it with beautiful shaped garments. We know, we  are all born beautiful; but don't you think it is more fun and excitement to play with our own body structure wearing different shaped silhouettes and if it is to enhance curve, why not ? 😛  People earlier said corsets are associated with discomfort because it is made of wire, but there are many variations and those can be more comfortable, like the one I am wearing in the above picture, this corset is made out of mushroo fabric ; u might be asking where you will get this fabric from. It...

AN ETERNAL COMBINATION

Image
An eternal combination to wear. Can there be anything more exciting and stylish than an outfit that's black and white. Black and white can take us anywhere. This combination is simple for casual wear, eye-catching for evening outings, and sharp enough for the office. I was super excited to rework this classic shades black and white in modern way. To make it more striking in appearance, wear it with structured style, like short blazer or knee length blazer. Black is such a classic that without ruining it's original aesthetic, I opted to carry my old black dress with white short blazer paired with white heels and white sling. I paired this look with blue sea-shell earring because I wanted an evening outing look. I should tell you where I got this pair of earring from: in the month of Feb when I visited Somnath temple in Gujarat, I got this cute sea-shell earrings from the store outside the temple.  To give a classic look...

WEAR FLORALS WHERE THERE IS NO GARDEN

Image
We already know that florals are bright, and vibrant in colours. Here in this post, I want to share my thoughts what floral means to me in fashion. For me florals are those beautiful artwork women wears to spread love and romance. We also know, a man gives flowers to his lady, but I feel a women don't need a flower bouquet when she wears a floral garment as she is complemented already. I am Sorry guys if you are reading this, but this is what I felt after wearing this garment 😝 We know people for centuries used real flowers to ornate their garments. Today, we the 21st century fashion lovers are lucky to have floral garments, and we do not have to attach or fix any real innocent flowers on it. Loving something and plucking it, thinking it will enhance our beauty and confidence is not the real fashion I feel. Time has changed and our thinking too, and we are lucky that we can wear florals without destroying their lives. I a...

STYLISH AND MODERN LOOK WITH BANDHNI FABRIC

Image
Look created out of old dupatta. Here, I have wore a top with white threadwork designed fabric sourced from local market and a pant made out of my old bandhni dupatta.  Bandhni, is a type of tie and dye textile which is adorned by plucking the cloth into many bindings, that form a design. The art of bandhni involves dyeing the fabric which is tightly tied with a thread at several places to produce different patterns. We also know, it is the oldest form of tie and dye. Bandhni is generally performed on cotton and silk fabrics. Nowadays, there are various bandhni designs and patterns available in the market, but in this situation, going out for fabric sourcing is not a good idea. So, what I had decided is to make a garment from old fabrics which are not in use.  Here, I have created a summer casual look giving it a classy, chic and pretty girlish look with soothing colors, white and pink combination. Details of the look : Earring : @veromoda Heels : @allaboutyoubydeep...

VOCAL FOR LOCAL IN TEXTILES AND FASHION

Image
The pandemic caused by COVID - 19 has affected the economy and has led to winding up of many businesses. In the present time, it has become the need to focus and promote local businesses. In the fashion world, every designers and brands rely on artisans, it has now become necessary to support our local artisans for their incredible skills. We all know that India is rich in history, culture and resources and every state in India has their own textiles.  If we see in terms of fashion, we can say, fabrics that we use for making fashionable garments are till now being sourced not from local manufacturers. Now, it is time to support our artisans and their skills through fashion and style. If we can wear designed garments according to the seasons, we wear colors according to the seasons, then why are we not wearing Indian fabric garments which are the most suited to the Indian climate. It is now time to raise our voice for local, not only by speaking and designing Indian fabrics but we c...

SAREE IS THE MOST VIBRANT SPECTRUM OF FASHION AND STYLE IN INDIA WHICH IS EVERGREEN

Image
We, Indian daughters are always overwhelmed to drape our mother's saree because we are always being told that saree is a class, a definition of beauty, femininity and India's trademark fashion style. We are taught to adore saree since our childhood. We also know saree can be a magic for styling and fashion. It is something which makes us feel confident, it brings out beauty of a women. When stitching started during the Vedic period, for women saree was the easiest attire to wear. Saree cannot be compared to any style and garments. It has it's own beauty, its flexibility is its magic. When we look back to the glorious centuries or era of Kings and queens, it gives a flash vision of beautiful palaces and forts, music, lavish food, fine arts and ofcourse extraordinary clothing and fashion which makes us wonder about the history of fashion in India. It is so rich and memorable, where sarees are a major fashion influence. With the influence of western culture, many changes made ...
