Fall is (almost) here!Hello Everyone!
First of all, if you are in Dallas next Friday night (9/30), the place to be is Deep Ellum, where we are holding our 2nd Annual Fashion Event and Fundraiser . This year's theme is "Masquerade" - so you'll see a theatrical interpretation of our creative team, including Ruby Bhandari, and upcoming designers Vanita Tahim and Sidra Zaidi. We have been working hard for the last few months on this, and are very excited about the outcome. In addition, we will have a surprise launch, with hints of youth, individuality, and the Nehru jacket!
The Grand Sponsor for the event is Imagine Dil Se/Aapka Colors TV channel - which will be broadcasting the show in over 100 countries...
In other news, Ruby Bhandari was recently on Sony TV , giving bridal fashion tips - if you missed it, please click here to see an unedited version...
...and not sure if you saw our latest commercial on Sony (and soon on Imagine TV) - if not, please click here ...
S  o the last few weeks saw big Fashion Weeks happening in New York and India - a good review of one we found interesting, Tarun Tahiliani in Vogue India: "Those expecting a classic Tarun Tahiliani collection were in for a surprise this year. The veteran designer ventured into smart tailoring and Chinoiserie details for his Autumn/Winter 2011 collection. He managed to successful blend the Oriental influences with Indian aesthetics in pieces like kalidar kurtas teamed with embroidered jackets and resham kaftans with Sino embroidery. The colour choices didn't sway from the general winter theme with reds, teals, muted wines and charcoals. While Tahiliani managed to cleverly introduce paisley prints and shibori handwork, he retained his signature jersey drapes throughout the collection. Kudos to the designer for the generous use of palazzo pants, obi belts with saris and trapeze jackets that make the collection very wearable...."
We have been featuring longer jackets with readymade saris for quite a few months, but love his interpretation of this sari and jacket...
On the New York front, one of the Indian-inspired collections has been from Timo Weiland. As LA Times put it, "The pair presented 23 looks at the Lincoln Center tents that paid homage to British colonial life -- in India. On the women's side, that inspiration resulted in glen plaid skirts and jackets with ikat jacquard inlays, bold red windowpane plaids that evoked the look of the Union Jack, a Bengal tiger jacquard, and an almost pointillist snow-covered desert landscape print in a range of blues, pinks and a pop of yellow, that appears on dresses, gowns and coats..."
So with all this, you can imagine, life is never boring - but we would love to see you soon to show you our latest ideas...see you next week, and if you can't make it on Friday, we will be holding an open house at the studio for the whole first week of October - stop by for some coffee, cookies and creativity!
