DRESS ME MAGAZINE

On the subject of dress almost no one, for one or another reason, feels truly indiffrent: if their own clothes do not concern them, somebody else's do.
Catch my first ever article in print for DRESS ME MAGAZINE ISSUE NO.4 aptly titled WHITEWASH.
http://issuu.com/onawimstudios/docs/dmmissue4/27




Color is what differentiates one from another. Black or white , blonde or burgundy, it’s the color that the eyes see.
Being born and brought up in a colorful country “INDIA”, has made my eyes comfortable with all possible pantone shades available. Be it the colorful regional dresses, jewelry, houses to exotic food and people – India is a pop of color.
Like we have different colors for different occasions- red symbolizes the bride, saffron the color of monks, yellow for spring and so on.
Pink with mango greens, red with burning orange and navy blue with dirty yellow, color combinations at its best is what you find on the streets.
But viewing things internationally, this is the season for colorless fashion, modest fashion. White is the color of the season strong enough to hide the blood below. I am sure most of you are scared of this colorless color. Although I love my whites, I find it a task to keep them white. So this season is about letting go all your inhibitions and take a cue from the recently concluded royal wedding at the Buckingham palace. A stunning white gown for the bride and a flawless masterpiece for the bridesmaid!!

Textiles and fashion take a cue directly from pharmacy- bandage cloths, band aid; plaster gauzes promise  the healing process. Starched and pressed linens and gauzy woven cottons will float around the bodies while bandage like loose texture stretch material will hug the skin in skin colors. The doctor’s coat or the lab coat is also finding a way into the fashionista’s wardrobe. It’s actually healthy to wear white as it is not dyed or treated by colors and pigments.
I guess the surgical white acts as a antiseptic to out of control fashion. Combining them with earthy colors like brick red, dirty blue, mustards etc adds the zing. Its about embracing life, Himalayas, meditation and going back to the roots.
Metamorphically we are licking the wounds from the last century…….white is an expression of new faith, important to set off other hues and initiate us into another era.
FABRIC IN ITS NATURAL FORM.


Thanking all who helped kick start this journey !!!

ADORNED LIVES

Colour is of an important significance in the lives of people in india. "When a girl is born a simple red odhani is wrapped around her suggesting her auspicious birth. The colour gets yellow as the girl reaches puberty. When she gets married it is encircled with a bright red orange dot on the centre and as time passes the same dot on her odhani turns brown suggesting she is a widow. "
Travelling around diffrent parts of the country helps me decifer the various walks of life adding colour and spice to your being.



lady with adorned hands and feet.


flounces of fabric goes into making a kediyu(shirt)


thier gods are their blind faith .


old age doesnt dither this lady from dressing up every morning.


peek -a- boo


heat outside but they know where to find their chill zones.


more fashionable than what we are supposed to be people in these small villages of india lead simple lives with basic amenities finding joy in the smallest of things. they are more fashionable, more happy and enjoy lives to the fullest. In contrary we are running after mad frenzied careers, money, families, responsibilities and what not. its seriously time to look back , rethink, rejoice and rewind.
Cause what is this life if full of care.........we have no time to stand and stare................
