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.

Butas

Its been a while and honestly I have not concentrated enough to write in anything. I have been trying very hard to figure which part of textile design is what I love the most. The technique is definitely print what I enjoy the most.

Printing is like painting to me without having the actual skills. Though I am not a fan of the new forms like digital printing or even screen, its the versatality of hand block printing that I love the most. Ever since I can remember I have been totally fascinated with blocks especially of Mughal butas, and I have collected some which now I am working with to create new collection.



Even though its not the first collection with these butas, there is something about it which I find very exciting and lets hope that what comes out will be as exciting. One Indian designer I totally commend on his use of these beauties is Rohit Bal, he has used these butas time and again and each time makes them look even more beautiful.




My attampt so far has been humble and not as successful, thus not much of it has been converted into products yet, just a few trials and hope this season will get me exactly what I have been looking for.
