just "FELT" like it !!

"One should either be a work of art, or wear a work of art "- Oscar wilde

FELT or non woven fabric is made out of beating a lot of bales together forming into a mesh.

over the years it has creeped into our fashion wadrobe not just as an article protecting us from winter but as a statement accessory that can add zing to any boring article and keping you warm of course!!

this being an expensive material,  it definitely comes a little pricey .

but love the colors and the cut work in the brooch !

this piece of art becomes a statement neckpiece !!

have guts for these woolen bangles anyone !

no ! this is not made for the vampire diaries !!

felt with metal bangles !! very classy !!

felted watermelon cut earings !

the cutest hair pin ever !!

Rimi Nayak's neckpiece in felt and buttons for sumer resort 2011.

This is a graduation collection of my friend all in felt.

Inspiration behind these frivolous pieces : carnivorous plants

love the colors and the dyeing techniques used and envy him of not gifting me any !!

bengali bride

We all want a slice of the lives of people whom we idolise or look upto for inspiration.
Years ago when the whole of the fashion industry was looking forward to the richie rich delhi and the filmi bombay , there was one person who was slowly working from his home ground only to become the most sought after designer in the country- Sabyasachi Mukherjee.
seen here are images from the wedding of his sister, shinjini which commenced in the first week of may.

The bengali bride dressed traditionally in a white and red sari.

The favorite with bengal women is the laal par or the red border, echoing the red of the sindhoor in the parting of the young brides hair.

the bride with her brother, dressed simply as always !!

the wedding guests seem to be high on bengali fashion with traditional woven saris doing rounds.

Loved the yellow dupatta and the way it is tied and knotted round the neck!!
