Art Inspiration

Creative thinking inspires Ideas. Ideas inspire Change.

 

For any creative person – inspiration from any walk of life is the key to success. Inspiration can come from a small boy by the streets, a small vendor on the roadside, an elderly woman with her grandchildren, any movie sequence or an art form. For various designers across the globe , the major source of inspiration is the art forms. This blog post reads about the collection of Designer Label Pratham who has drawed inspiration from Tribal Art Forms of Maharashtra known as Warli Art into their beautiful and intricately designed sarees.

Every young girl in India or overseas is taking fashion inspiration from Saree fashion and looks forward to wear one at any of their lifetime events. But they do not want to stick to the old fashion saree and instead want something Out Of The Box creation. And so does Designer Label Pratham thinks and designs OTB. This quirky creation is just suitable for all young ladies to wear it at their Farewell Parties or a Family Event.

On the same hand the designer duo have taken perfect inspiration from the Tribal Art form and curated it into two different styles. The above design makes it for a fun loving saree and the below image showcases us that the same work can be adorned in a prettier form and more Indian form. The heavy saree as worn by the designer herself in the image below can be styled perfectly for any of the occasions in the close family and friends.

In order to purchase these looks head on to the facebook handle of the designer and book yourself an appointment with them, http://www.facebook.com/pratham009

Hope you had a wonderful time reading this post. Stay tuned for more from this designer label in collaboration with my styling.

Handwoven Interest

Beauty of Style, Harmony, Grace And Good Rhythm depends on Simplicity.

It is the call of the hour that people are looking out for Handwoven weaves and this has surely become one fashion trend, everyone is loving to sport. One such designer label who brings to all fashion mongers their need to quench their thirst for such fabrics and drapes is Pratham.

Pratham is an Indian designer label who caters to the needs of Saree, an Indian fashion garment which is gaining a lot of momentum even in West. This designer label is dedicated to crafting beautiful and simple yet elegant sarees which can be adorned by both elegant woman and also young girls. The designer label is initiated by husband wife duo Prashant Garg and Shweta Garg who have created some masterpieces in the form of Ghamcha Sarees using Linen fabrics. This fabric is definitely the need for Spring Summer 2016 collection.

The sarees are so intricately and beautifully designed that it is just onto the person wearing them as to how to go about styling the masterpieces. The image below shows you a model wearing their creation of Ghamcha saree as a work wear saree. Also in another image you may see that another variation of this saree can be worn as a quirky and a fun saree by any young girl. This saree brings in a lot of power and attitude when one dresses in the designer creation.

What I love about these sarees is that they are very easy to drape. I had a fun session styling these gorgeous sarees on Model turned Actress Sheena Chohan. When wearing the designer label one definitely does not need to over accessorize. Simplicity is the key to dressing when wearing these pretty creations.

When we talk about Ghamcha what usually comes in mind is the orange and red piece of cloth with white checks which the Pandits usually wear along with their dhoti kurta sets. But have you really thought of this design as a creative aspect in the form of Saree? I guess most of the answers will be “No”. But this designer duo have brought in their mind of creativity to the best possible use and imagination. This saree looks uber chic and stylish and can definitely be worn in multiple styles and one being your work wear saree.

Also not to miss out on the peplum blouse…The designer duo have brilliantly designed this piece as well. This peplum was a separate collection but when styling the saree I thought of all the young girls who would love to sport it along with something quirky and fashionable. This saree is simple and also a very light color which young minds would refrain themselves from wearing. But a bright colorful funky blouse will definitely make a “no” into a “yes yes situation”.

I must say one should definitely add these masterpieces into their wardrobe this season and flaunt them big time. In order to make a purchase one can visit them on http://www.facebook.com/pratham009 and book and appointment with them.

Woman of Substance

You are a Woman of Strength, Dignity and Courage…one who values herself and fights for what she believes in. A woman who will not give up on her dreams regardless of how many obstacles stand in the way. And that makes a Woman beautiful!!

It is the month of March and the month of celebrating Womanhood. This post is an ode to all the strong, dignified and courageous woman who have stood tall by all odds and still looked beautiful with a radiant smile. This post along with designer label Pratham features a woman of substance who is making a mark for herself in the field of fashion along side her husband as the designers of Label Pratham.

It is often believed that a beautiful woman is one who looks pretty on the outside but the truth of the matter is that beauty lies within oneself. Clothes do make a woman look her prettiest best but her work makes for her beauty character. Now when we talk about beauty with clothes then I must say that an Indian woman looks her sartorial best when dressed in a Saree. The designer label Pratham is completely dedicated to cater all Indian woman with best of weaves in the form of Saree.

This Green saree looks truly magical with the amount of embroidery on it. The floral embroidery in contrast colors makes the saree stand out. Also what I love about this color is that it is mesmerizing shade of green and is completely different from what we usually find in the market. The saree is made out of Bhagalpuri Linen fabric which drapes perfectly on the body and it also counts for an easy to drape saree.

What is striking about this look is that I styled it with a combination of  costume and traditional jewellery to give it an over the top notch look. One definitely does not need to stick by the side of traditional jewellery when wearing a saree or any Indian garment. Today the market is flooded with ample options to choose from and here I choose these gold plated costume jewels.

Also the saree is a heavyily embroidered saree with a heavily embroidered blouse. One does not need much of accessories to enhance the look of this saree as minimal along with simplicity is the best key to flaunt this look.

In order to shop this saree you may visit the designer with a prior appointment and book it on their facebook page as follows – http://www.facebook.com/pratham009

Goddess ~ Inner Beauty

” A Woman of Beauty

Knows in her quite center

Where God Dwells

That he finds her beautiful

And deems her worthy

And in him , She in enough

~ John and Stasi Eldridge “

As per our Hindu rituals we believe that every woman is a shadow of Goddess Laxmi of our house, but do we still treat them the same way and with equality to men and the ones with power in the society? Whatever maybe the answer to it, it is important to treat the womanhood as a powerful sect of the society and my blog post today reads about the Powerful Goddess in each and every woman.

In collaboration with the designer label Pratham, I here present to you my styling of a woman of substance and magnificence who can be a true epitome of DEVI (Goddess). It is indeed a fact, that every woman is spiritually strong and once she makes up her mind to do something no one can stop her from doing what she wants.

The designer duo of husband – wife, Prashant and Shweta Garg have designed a masterpiece of a saree which brings out the inner beauty and grace of a woman once she gets dressed in their collection. The saree has embroidery inspired from the tribal art forms of Rajasthan. This designer duo have worked magic on their creation while keeping the most important social issue of womanhood gaining power and equality in the society as their  inspiration along with the various Indian art forms.

The strong personality of a woman is highlighted in this stunning creation along with the jewels that bring in the edgy, bold and powerful look of a woman.With this look we aim to bring it out as a fact that every man needs to understand and treat her woman – be it a mother, wife, sister or daughter with high esteem and respect her to the deepest core.It is rightly depicted in our vedas and scriptures that every woman in that era was given the choice to live free and not be judged. Infact we also know that the name of the Goddess comes before the name of the respective Gods then why not treat the woman in our lives today with same grace?

In collaboration with the designer label Pratham we say that worship not only the DEVI (Goddess) who we believe is the creator of this universe , but also respect each and every woman ( a shadow of Goddess on Earth ) you meet and greet in your daily routine.

Power Dressing +Sari

Style comes with Poise, Poise comes with Attitude, Attitude comes with Power Dressing.

Sari has always been addressed to Indian Drape of a 6 meter long fabric over a woman’s body. It is always looked upon as an Indian garment which by far only Indian woman have been wearing. The West has also adorned this garment but it’s love has been restricted in the form of SariGowns but not in it’s organic form.

Today I along with Designer label Pratham, am going to showcase you one brilliant sari which I styled on Model – Actor Sheena Chohan from  the designer duo Prashant Garg and his wife Shweta Garg’s collection in a whole new form which am sure not only we Indian Girls are going to love but also the West will.

This beautiful Sari is a true 6 meter long fabric with embroidery on it. What I love about this sari is the elephant embroidery which has been done on this super rich fabric and brings in power to the whole garment.

Do You think Power Dressing only comes with wearing a Formal Suit?? I say a strict NO to that notion. This sari draped in the form of a Gown over a skirt(petticoat) and a blouse like an organic sari with just a little change to the Pallu or the end of the Sari that falls on the shoulder has brought in a lot of magic to this creation of the designer duo.

This graceful sari can not only be worn by young woman at professional front but also by any woman who wishes to go out on a formal or an informal gathering. Here to make this look in particular full of grace, poise, attitude and most importantly powerful I have styled the model with minimum makeup and a nice neat braided hairbun.

The accessories have been kept minimal and restricted to just one long pair of chain danglers, a waist belt to hold the Sari Gown right in place and a hand harness with owl motif on it. Now two different animal forms can be confusing at times but here elephant and owl both depict power and wisdom.So when addressing a Power Dressing with Sari I had no apprehensions using two diverse animal forms together.

The Designer Label Pratham is highly motivated by Indian Art Forms and Weaves in its collection. And this Sari is definetly a bespoke version of its collection as this fabric is a rich weave from the handlooms and also they have done complete justice when it comes to the final product.

In order to shop from this designer label head on to their Facebook Page : Http://www.facebook.com/pratham009 and they shall be soon coming up with a store at West Delhi.

A Bohemian Vibe

Forget the old illusion of the term “Free Spirit”. A free spirit shouldn’t mean defiance against society. A free spirit means to be untied from the binds you once held within yourself. Because the tried and true meaning of freedom is knowing and applying. It’s facing the aches to find the full stretch. It’s doing the work. Because in doing so, everyone benefits your family, your community, your friends, and of course, society itself.

~Victoria

As we read the above quote it holds a true meaning to the Womanhood who stand strong in this society and spread out to reach masses and favour the society in their own manner. This beautiful creativity of God in the form of woman definitely has the right to live free and completely carefree.

Designer Label Pratham has beautifully inculcated his imagination with the Indian Art forms from rural and tribal households into his creative aspects. This beautiful saree has its touch from the land, people and culture of Rajasthan.

The quirky and bohemian nature depicted in this saree is perfectly suited to the emerging needs and taste of young woman who thrive to make a strong and bold appearance.

The moustache and a turban are a staple trend which men from Rajasthan are often seen wearing. The designer’s creativity in this saree is finely depicted and also portrays the love for cultural art forms.

For the past few years quirky prints have been ruling the fashion runway but this saree has got a lot of different aspect to it. This saree is not a printed form but all embroidered and I must say the craftisan have done a fabulous job. The embroidery is done intricately and very neatly.

A style inspiration for all young girls is to wear this quirky saree in  a more quirky way. Just drape it onto your jeggings and also a bold color like blue as shown below and you are ready to rock this trend. This trend is a light on the woman who believe to live free from any staple norms of the society and make rules which are best suited in their own interest.

Saree is not just the element which catches all the eye balls. The baby collared blouse has also garnered much needed attention. The blouse is a complete contrasting element with respect to the saree and looks ravishing as a concept.

I had immense fun while styling this saree for the designer and playing around with the accessories and props. One can just put in a lot of element to this saree or even go bare minimum with accessories as this saree in itself has a lot to say.

The designer has none the less also passed on the message of gender equality while depicting moustache and a turban which can also be carried by a woman in a different form and thereby passing on the burden of work, respect and livelihood from the sole shoulders of a man to the woman as well.

Glitter Gloss Tinsel Nails

A girl is never dressed completely until and unless she has pretty nails by her side. It is so difficult to have manicured hands but Not Just French Manicure.It is a true notion that having French Manicure Nails is a Passe’. Nails look trendy and classy with a touch of bling onto them. But don’t fret if you dont have much time to hit the parlours for Nail Arts….Yes you read it  right… You can now achieve beautiful nails at home only with just a few tips.

I shall showcase you some beautiful Nail Art designs which have been self done on my very own nails. But yes I have to care for them by eating right and not have brittle nails that break easily. Also I hardly cook so its okay for me to have long nails and easy to care as well. Those of you who do not have long nails can visit the parlour once in 15-20 days and have nail extensions done which do not cost much and stay intact also. And yes for the ones who bite their nails kindly stop if you want to have pretty nails.

So here is my First Nail Art Design which is a Floral Bling Concept.

• For this all you need to do is shape your nails with a nail filer into a sqaure shape.
• Next Apply a coat of blingy pink nail lacquer, I have used Maybelline and leave behind the tips of your nail.
• For the tips Apply a golden matte shade of nail lacquer, again I have used Maybelline and now let it dry for some time.
• Once it is dry enough apply a layer of sparkle in golden with the help of transparent nail lacquer and if you are lucky enough to find bold golden nail lacquer with sparkles then it is an easy bet for you. But be careful to not spill it on your pink lacquer. While applying it make a little curve bent onto one side of the nail.
• Next step is to apply beads and you can find them on any beauty store. They come in small bottles or order them online on any Korean website. Now applying them will be little hectic as it takes some time. With a tip of brush you need to pick every single bead and apply with the help of a nail adhesive.
• Once you are done with this apply a coat of transparent nail paint to give it a shine.
• But what we forgot is the tricky part of making our flower on one half nail. For this you’ll need brushes as small as 000 size. This needs to be done with a lot of care. Trace your flower with a black nail paint on the edge you want and take out the petals to one half size of the nail.
• Now fill the petals with the gold nail paint in matte finish first and then use your gold sparkle onto it. To make a finish apply some Hot Pink Nail paint and I have used Mac to just highlight the petals around.
• As for the bud area all you need to do is apply the beads again using the same technique as earlier.
• And now you are done with your pretty nails.
  

The Second Nail Art design is a Leopard Attack Concept.

• This one is very simple and easy to do.
• Apply a coat of transparent nail paint to all your nails.
• Then Apply Golden Matte finish nail paint to the tips of your nails leaving the finger which you want to cover full in Gold.
• Once done with that paint your one nail Golden Matte full.
• Next step is to take a brush and paint the black imprints on your nails and again you have to be carfeul doing it. Make sure you make similar sizes and not too big or small.
• Now take some black beads and put them on one nail next to your full gold nail in the inner portion using a nail adhesive.
• Last step is to coat it with a transparent nail paint and make it look shinnier.

Here is the Third and Last Nail Art Design with Pink Silver Concept.

• This is the easiest of all. All you need is a Fuschia Pink shade of Nail paint and Giltter Silver Nail Paint. First apply Pink Nail Paint to all your nails leaving one nail which you want to paint Silver. But when applying leave spaces in shapes of curves on each nail but in separate designs.
• Next apply Silver Nail Paint to the nail you left behind.
• Next apply silver nail paint to all the spaces left and add a dose of Silver sparkle to them which are big in size. I had a big sparkle Nail Paint in silver shade so I used that. You can order such nail paints from any Korean beauty sites or simple use bold glitter.
• Add the last coat of transparent nail paint and it’s done.

The glittery nails look very pretty and a dose of glamour to any simple outfit as well. So whenever going out for a party do your nails pretty and let your nails do all the talking.

Baby Doll with Pink Lips

The caption reads more of a song but it is true for all Little Ones. The sweet, innocent, charming faces of little girls are all swinging left right up down when these songs play. Sunny Leone dancing to these numbers have created a magic for all little princess. Today Girls as old as 2 want to dress up like a baby doll and look glamorous. It is long lost fact that girls that age have no idea about fashion trends. Toddlers these days are all equipped with fashion sense.

Yes you guys have guessed it right. This blog is all dedicated to the young fashionable girls. My model in this blog is my niece who really loves to pose and get dressed.

How lovely does she look in a beautiful Pink Gown by Jingle Bells. This look is all set to go for a wedding look for kids. The pretty gown from Jingle Bells is so soft and bouncy that it makes the child feel nice and comfortable. Also The gown has a can can lining to it but yes the can can lining is very soft and does not hurt the legs of the child.

The flare and the crush of the gown makes it look more or less like a wedding gown for brides. The roses are red is the perfect saying for this beautiful stunner. The big roses scantily embroidered are looking fabulous on the gown. It is rightly said that the person wearing an outfit should be able to carry

it well and so does this little girl proves herself smart and fashionable.

The gown is made in cut sleeves and has a top separate with it with frilly red sleeves made out of hosiery fabric and net. This is to ensure that the child does not feel any bit of incomfort. The frill on the gown is just perfect and neither too much nor too less. It does not succumb the child in the gown but also lets her breath and be her playful best.

The hair are neatly tied up in a bun and secured with a nice red floral clip on the head. This completes the look of the gown and the style.  She surely looks like a stunner and a beauty. The gown as you can now notice is a floor length and moves like a trail when she walks.

For kids it is a no makeup look. It will be wrong on our part to put makeup on the skin so fresh and radiant and damage it. So this girl is a beauty in herself and walks down like Cinderella in her pretty gown and her shoes. But here the shoe is going to stay and she will look like a Princess all the while.

Coming up soon with another blog post on Kids Fashion but “boys”.
