Textiles and Fashion

A beautiful piece of fabric can adorn any space and a stunning garment can change the way one feels about themselves. Fabric and garments are almost as old as human race, actually it wont be wrong to say that the use of textiles also seperates us from animals.



In this blog I will try and put forward some of the effort to find old and new textiles from around the world. Some beautiful and some even ghastly.



Also I will share some of the work that I have been doing as a small effort to add to this amazing discipline.

Where to begin?!

I have been sitting in from the laptop for the last one hour now thinking of profound titles for the first blog and did not know where to start! My head kept wandering between those stupid messages that keep the mobile buzzing to what my five month old son must be doing in the next room. And then looking around me I began to wonder how much fabric I have around me not to mention on me.

Ok so I am a textile designer but I don'd know who invented textiles, lots of different people have contributed to making it what it is but who wove the first piece of cloth doesn't even come easy when you google it. We all know that people wore leaves, animal skin and fur, made yarn out of roots and needle from animal bones but where did the first cotton thread come from or the first yarn of silk!

There are so many forms of fabric now that we take for granted and thank god that someone started the concept it has been the jam and cheese for me for the last so many years!

Ok all confused but atleast I started and promise to make it more relevant the next time! In the meanwhile when I look for first textiles on google this is what i get.
