Plain Jane Dupattas

Excited about this fabric! All hand printed, it's a warli motif on silk. Black and white! Tres chic once it's cut, and sewn. Today I discovered what a tress gota trim can do to a plain Jane dupatta. It was a makeover of a dupatta, an input given by my stylish mom. Good that I still listen to maman! I also heard and saw the DVD of the Ferragamo story in my studio today. It was inspirational and timing of the DVD viewing was perfect ! There are no coincidences in life. Xo di.

CoCo and Di.Di

My first trip overseas was to the fashion capital, paris when I was 14.  I then spend my twenties in milan, the current fashion capital, and I have three major influences. Coco, Dior and Armani.    Coco's story and her aesthetic sensibility and her story just makes me imagine what her life was like. As I sipped a cappuccino at the cafe opposite rue cambon 31, I imagined her first store and her walking in from her apartment down the street......

Petunia collection opened at Golmaal today

Petunia's in August look marvellous. What better way to dress in August other than petunia inspired pieces which make a fresh statement of the end of the monsoon season in tropical mumbai. It's all petunia punch here in my mind's eye. Yellow cutout cropped cropped jacket, printed trousers and jumpsuits in flat black. Welcome petunias!
