I travelled to Delhi in August and had a wonderful and productive trip to India. Hunted, gathered, designed, executed and we are now poised for Fall/holiday 09 events. Sorboni Banerjee's wedding is in October, with the White Mountains and fall colors as the stunning back drop. It started a year ago as a creative journey for this beautiful TV news anchor of channel 7 and her groom Jarrod (channel 5 Boston) leading us to delve into her Indian roots and mine too. We did what we do best with this bridal collection, blend the beauty of natural Indian silk fabrics with western design. Plan to take lots of pictures at the wedding and share the stages from concept to wedding day with you, stay tuned to the blog in Oct.India is all about the Mango People...trees and flowering plants that survive amid high rises, birds on wires, road side gardens and temples on every curve. Gorgeous fabrics, hand made shoes, brilliant glass bangles and spicy flavorful food. Peeple trees, under which Buddha was said to have achieved enlightenment mingle with flowering mango, frangipani and jasmine. The scents are stronger in the heat- of flowers, incense, sweat, spices and of stagnant rain water that does not drain easily from the muddy roads. Cups of Darjeeling tea, conversation, music and old friends. As I bought fabrics, linings, trims and shopped the small bazaars of Delhi, I would marvel at the way of life where fresh vegetables are sold long side a little stall selling nose rings. The way art, music, culture and yes, Bollywood seeps into every narrow lane of this diverse country and makes us richer when we travel there. Finishing this post on my flight back to Boston, I look forward to sharing the new fall fashions with you, starting with Stylefixx- Girls night out- on the 15th and 16th of Sept in Boston and on the website.
