With the first hello .......Love Story !

Its been fifteen years ( possibly more) that I have been in the fashion industry. Its had its ups and downs but thankfully the ups have been more than the downs. The more I think of how I ended up where I have ended up (not that this is the end by any means) makes me believe in fate. A purely science student graduate in  BSc Biochemistry to do another 4 year degree in Fashion Design not by choice ending up loving it !

I learnt to be a fashion designer and I was lucky enough (as my course was so thorough) to learn to make things from scratch not just pattern cutting, sewing or sketching and draping but all of the above. I feel very privileged to have had such an experience.  

My work has taught me what I always lacked .. it has taught me patience. I always keep on trying to improvise my own techniques. The more I learn the more I love. Its something I feel I will never tire of. Its been a busy bridal season and just today I felt like writing about my love affair with my work.

Thinking Old but new Project.



I hope I get a completely new project soon . All the alterations are going well but I need to cut something from scratch and start a  new pattern for my own sanity. 

I was thinking of falling back for the time being on a bespoke project which I had  started for a client a long time ago but then left it as I was completely swamped with work. Its a pattern and design I did from scratch. Its the knot twist dress. I nearly finished it but then it needed to be lined in the same fabric so the project came to a halt. I will start work on that soon and also work on another pattern that was requested by another client to copy an existing dress with a few modifications. 

Here are a picture of the dress in progress but will put up pics of it finally finished in a few weeks time....
