I love traditional Indian wear. It is such an extraordinary combination of fabrics, colors and silhouettes. Indian clothing takes inspiration from the country’s rich cultural heritage, which often manifests in the form of contrasting elements combined together to produce fashion which is dramatic and opulent. Prints, threadwork, sequins, lace – everything has a place in Indian fashion! India Couture Week is an annual event which celebrates this rich craftsmanship of Indian textiles and presents classic outfits in a new light. Several acclaimed Indian designers take part in this show to present their take on traditional Indian garments. Each designer adds their own creative twist – while some are influenced by Western silhouettes…

I am traveling all of this week within India and will conclude the trip in one of my all time favorite cities – Mumbai (very similar to New York)! As much as I hate to do this, I won’t be able…
Aloha people! Tuesdays on the blog are all about travel love, and the inspiration for today’s post actually emerged during a conversation at work; when the team was discussing and planning a visit to the Taj Mahal, a monument in India famous for love and beauty.
