Things to be done in the next couple of days

Here are a few themes i have chosen :

I have chosen the themes keeping in mind the variety of textures i can create during the iterating stage of my project.

- Rickshaw art in India
- Flea market in India
- Fish Market in India
- Indian Spice Box
- Traditional dance attire
- Indian Gods and Goddess
- Old Buildings, creepers etc.
- Caves
- Architecture - historical buildings, jaali etc
- Gajra - a traditional accessory of India - This can inspire a 'White on White' collection for the middle age,older generation.
- Minimalism - this can also inspire a collection for the middle age, older generation.

The next steps are:
- Research for images
- Create moodboards
- Choose 2-3 themes which I am most drawn to.
- Initial sketches of what the fabric will look like with detailing as to what techniques will be used.
- Initial sketches for the silhouettes.
- Meet Mrs.Bina Rao to show her the work for her approval.
- Rework on the themes depending on her feedback.
- Collect the waste from Creative Bee.
- Start iterating with fabric.

I am going forward with the theme of BEAUTIFUL OLD. The attempt here is to keep the designs of the garments simple and nothing flashy which is what i had observed the trend in the studio. The garments are simple yet the textures, feel of the fabric are unique...
