Attending NYFW F/W 24 at Global Fashion Collective

 

Living in a peaceful suburb in Connecticut, I always get psyched up visiting boisterously beautiful NYC - especially during Fashion Week when the swanky city gets even swankier. I have attended NYFW in Global Fashion Collective for the last few seasons. Yet, I am fascinated every time I attend and witness talented designers from around the globe,  and most importantly, each designer brings a bit of their country, culture, and art to NYFW. I am always in awe and amazed by Global Fashion Collective's knack for finding such one-of-a-kind designers.










NAOKO TOSA  Sound of Ikebana

This season unfolds with Nakaotosa,  Sound of Ikebana, the unexpected yet exciting opening where an art piece comes on the digital screen, and the model comes wearing the same design as if art comes into life. The brain behind the brand is a Professor of  Kyoto University, a new media artist, and The NY Museum of Modern Art Collection artist; her runway show at NYFW showcased a ready-to-wear collection, "New Downtown Fashion Proposal," an ode to the New Yorkers. She uses digital textile printing technology to emphasize the primary color black and a few white pieces in monochromatic looks, including wide-leg pants, jackets, dresses, tops, etc. A high-speed camera with a speed of 2000 frames/second captures the shapes born from a baby's first cry and heartbeat that cannot be seen with the naked eye. One frame of this video is made into fashion using Epson's digital textile printing technology. While using Ikebana as a motif that evokes an oriental ZEN atmosphere, the fashion is simple, gender-inclusive, and clean cuts tailored to perfection. 





YILLIAQ (Chicago)

China-born artists and five years of medical training from  Chicago YILLIAQ's collection called "Sad Collection" at NYFW dedicated their awareness to mental disorders. The show was truly unique and powerful. Using dog and cat animal elements in order to create positive environments, energy, etc. Using red and blue colors in tactfully constructed skirts, blouses, and dresses stands out in her collection. 








Eduardo Ramos  (Vancouver)

Born to an entrepreneurial family in Mexico City and got his fashion education in Canada. He has already delivered many independent commission projects and showcased them in Vancouver Fashion Week and Paris Fashion Week. His debut runway show at NYFW is striking—mindfully created classic, timeless appeal and sophisticated silhouette, yet with a contemporary, edgy cut and sharp tailoring, which is the fulcrum part of the collection. It was an absolutely exquisite experience.

My favorite pieces of Assamese Traditional jewelry

My grandmother's thuria, age-old and heirloom jewelry, of course, not part-able         A piece of jewelry echoes a region's rich heritage, aesthetics and sensibilities and Assamese jewelry does not differ from that. A piece of jewelry not just enhances the wearer's beauty but identity as well.       A land of flamboyant rivers engulfed in exotic flora and fauna, birds, musical instruments Assamese jewelry is highly inspired by that. Sharing a few assamese pieces of jewelry from my personal collection.       An Assamese bride's dress up is incomplete without Assamese jewelry. Traditionally Assamese jewelry is purely handmade. The main frame is made out with 24-carat gold and lac is used as a filling material. Stones are studded on the top.  The creatively and meticulously studded stone craftsmanship resembles with pomegranate seeds. The color and texture of the stone are opulent and lurid just like pomegranate. Nowadays imitation Assamese jewelry are als

Keeping it simple-random things about me

Hello my dear readers, how are you all doing? Summer vacation has just started here on the east coast. My kids are having a gala time. I can't tell you how time is flying.

Hence thought, I'll keep it simple and straightforward. It has been more than a year now, and I have shared so many things about my life, travel, fashion, etc. Today I'll share a few random thoughts about me. 1. My favorite color - Navy blue, peach and off-white. Not that I don't wear any other color, but those colors are readily available in my wardrobe. 2. My favorite outfit - In western I love to wear a crisp white top and blue jeans. I know very casual. In Indian, I love sarees. Mostly, I love handwoven and handwork ones. I love salwar kurta too. You will find more solid colors then prints or patterns in my wardrobe. 3. Am I fitnes

Bartaco, West Hartford , Connecticut review

It was a usual February day, the chill felt like tucking in the furry comforter and stay cozy at home. But, the matter of the fact was that it was my birthday  and my family wanted me to take out for dinner. I was reluctant and wanted to stay at home. My little one was after me and I couldn't say no. I had no clue where we were heading for dinner and then here we were at the Bartaco. Vivacious Bartaco instantly took away my winter sluggishness. With a gracious greeting, modern contemporary laid back sitting and a bit of hustle and bustle made me alive in the winter freezing February. The high ceiling, ivory walls, earthy light shades stroked a tropical vibe and the food spoke a lot about Mexico and Latin America. As a sober, I chose housemade pomegranate lemonade and hubby got grapefruit ginger juice. I never had pomegranate lemonade before, I must say it was one of the coolest and refreshing lemonade I have ever had. The tint of lemonade not just took the look but
