Vogue Honors competition

Okay, I'm not sure I mentioned anything about the Vogue Honors 2009 competition. But here's a quick intro. about it.

This is an annual competition, and well this time we had to design a collection of 5 pieces and theme was assigned to us. What was it? Eco-friendly fashion!

Interesting. I know!

At first I was a little confused, but my research helped me get over it. There are allot of designers out there working with organic fabrics and creating beautiful pieces. So anyway, I have my collection ready and will be posting the CD of sketches and the form ina day or two.

Just wanted to share my sketches on me blog. I didn't have any particular inspiration that drove me to designing all these pieces per say, but I definitely was inspired by innovating vests. Even though I'm not 100% satisfied with it, in terms of my potential. But I do stand by my collection. I think it's totally a young girls wardrobe. And I'd wear any of those of pieces only if i could change me body type ;) hehe.

As you can see, it's a RTW collection. And I've worked with organic cotton. My accessories are made out of recycled wood, and hemp. I loved the bloomer idea. I haven't seen a high waist bloomer. It's fun approach towards bloomers I thought. I have certainly not seen anyone in Hyderabad sporting one of them either. But then again, I haven't seen allot of things here. Even though, now we have so many cool brands, I truly believe young or even older ladies in Hyderabad for that matter have no excuse to be dressed bad anymore. Even if it's for grocery shopping.

Fashion, and style should inspire even the ones who don't subscribe to your creativity. I think what you wear everyday , plays a big role in how you make yourself AND others feel. Fashion is walking, running, jogging, creativity in our lives. We should embrace it in whichever way we can and just go with the flow. But! and there is a but. It should never get to the materialistic way of life. It has to be about creativity, and innovation, not money, brand and status.

Went a little off topic there didn't I? Anyway, that's my update. Thinking of making an earring collection post. I have enough to show. Will think further.

Do give me frank opinions about my collection. Portfolio collection will be up soon too!
