Two spirits

Its a two spirited world. Every coin has two sides. The grass is greener on the other side. Its a man's world. Masculine feminism. Gender bending moments. Boys are beautiful. Women are macho.

Andrgyny is here to rule the fashion sense since the world came into being. Lets take a sneak peak into the journey. Its a give an take deal between the two genders, rightly absorbing the true elements to captivate one another.


  Greecian hair inspired by women.


exploration of the gender myth by the early tribes of the world.


 Women sporting masculine jackets and bow ties


  Concept of ardhanarishwara prevalent in hinduism since its very inception. The confluence of shiva and parvati is the very essence of indian androgyny .




Damn creating a red carpet look out of the mens wardrobe.


  Epitome of androgynous fashion :  Galliano



  bow ties and pocket squares intruding the face of women's wardrobe !



Lisa haydon is Monisha jaisingh sasaying the ramp with a tie up white shirt , kaliras, and leather cut work skirt. Quiet a diifrent take on androgyny !!

Fab Hab


"Men make roads,but it is the women who teach the children how to walk on them "


Every once in a while , an unusual suspect, an underdog emerges out of nowhere and claims a small but remarkable slice of our attention - And you find yourself enjoying her victory more than you might have expected.
The irrepressible, unstoppable and immensely likeable - MARY KOM  - she's just that.




She was present to welcome her association with Mumbai's new fashion station : The Hab.
Its a one stop hub for designers, students, kids, etc for all their need of the season's mango yellow buttons to bright pop coloured zippers and a fabulous dash of all cool trinkets.



Its time to be done with satin and sequins and take bolder cues from the runways as their in house designers will help you create products with the coolest fabric, buttons, patches etc - fab at the Hab.
May be you want to get a hobo for a sit down dinner or go goth for new year's - it has it all.

TRIBAL INSTINCTS - 2

“You know you are truly alive when you’re living among lions.” 

I saw no African people in the printed and illustrated  school textbooks.  I began to suspect that someone had distorted the image of african people. My long search for the true history of African people the world over began.

Tribal instincts - 2 is about my friends who have found influences from african and south american tribes.


 Ruchika wears a skin print dress very much in similarity to the masaai body paint.


Deepak sports a colourful printed scarf very much similar to the turbans of the south american tribes.


Irshna wraps around an animal print scarf around her neck. To notice her rough cutout edges.


Parita apes the tribal neckpiece with a solid colored kurta.

Navneet loves his dreadlocks and wears it smartly to office, weddings, movies, and more.

Tribal instinct : PART 1

For tribal man space was the uncontrollable mystery. For technological man it is time that occupies the same role.
We re looking back for everything. There is a reference point for everything.
This is a compilation of photos of some people that i know and how their costumes have a striking resemblance to the Tribes of india.



Sarita wears the bandhini skirt with a chic button up military shirt and drapes a dupatta over it.


Divya wears clashing prints with solid blocks of color. To notice her accessory, the dabba tiffin !!



Neha got married in a traditional grazia outfit sans embroidery. Block prints, chintz, gota work formed a part of her lehnga.


All accessorised with her Chanel glares !!


Ayesha very much looks like a niligiri tribe in this photo on its own. Her incorporation of patchwork dress shares a striking resemblance.


Ananya shares her love for bandhani and flare. To notice her african boots teamed with pops of color.
