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.

Prints again

Just totally love florals, textile designers have always used plants as inspiration for print designs. Romanie Jailtly a professor in NID, was the first person whose course actually convinced me that I am capable of developing prints from no where. We drew a plant and then eventually after 3 long weeks that sketch got converted in a print. For some reason the feel good that came with getting that print right could be matched with only a few other highs since then.


Not the four years of years of NID, but the first few months of working with Mrs Ritu Kumar made me realise that interesting prints can be created but placing them right is what makes a garment stand out. I remember taking a Jamini Roy painting and developing t-shirts, I still have one in wardrobe and it is a very priced piece in there.


Sometimes I feel that it is quite easy to create beautiful looking prints its reflects your state of mind. Sometimes when I am happy it is easiest to create prints and sometimes when there is a lot of thoughts running through the head what comes up with confusion on the screen.
