The Shibori Collection.
Whew! Making this collection was fun and all the designs sold in a weeks time. This year however, there is a lot of shibori all over the stores that I have stopped creating any more.
What are clients looking for this year? They definitely want simpler styles in solid colours. Again, the colours have to be jewel tones and they are looking for fit and styling, and in drape styles the fall of the fabric and garment.
I am working on a new blog as well which should be more fashion oriented and yet craft oriented as I feel a lot of India's craftsmen are left behind. I hope to get the pictures out soon and maybe connect with people interested in taking the art further. I work with a lot of embroiderers and unfortunately these guys are looking for work when they should be working instead.
Big brooches are in and diamonds mixed with poth and sallis are in at the moment. Laces and embroideries are going to rule along with cutwork and pleated net dresses in pastel hues. Brocades, georgettes,crepe georgettes, lucknowi work on georgette in mango shades, dark midnight blues, electric blues, shades are deeper and richer and opulent fabrics are the order of the festive season.
