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

After being away from real work through my pregnancy and then running after the little one for the last seven months, I tried doing various things, garments again, sarees and some small projects but something has not been clicking, even this blog for that matter, I started and then wrote some stuff everyday deleted it and then shut down the system for the last 2 weeks. What is it that I want to start over with? And now I remembered where did Studio Smriti start? It was not garments or sarees, it was simple prints and coordinating a lot of them on home furnishings. Yes but somehow I have not had the confidence to start again, so I started small, just some things for me and my family and yes I do feel more confident now, I feel like I can do more stuff.

These are some things I came up with, thought I would share.



The nice things about home furnishings is that its like an empty canvas. We can try prints, traditinal and mordern and textures. Also personally I am more experimental with my home furnishings than garments. Somehow a bed is more flexible to new ideas.

The above designs are easier to us will fit in any house, any surroundings. I also tried something more funky.



By the next time I should have the images and I will upload those for review.
