sheshweshwe

South Africa is famous for its locally made fabric, sheshweshwe or also known as shweshwe. Its a colorful pattern usually made up of dots going around in circles or other geometric shapes, most common being circles and diamonds. The most common colors are shades of brown. blue and red. Further dyed, it can give extraordinary color combinations.

These days shweshwe fabric is being used by many local designers for making contemporary clothing and accessories. Most commonly seen in tunics and handbags, also a lot of belts and ties. Living here in SA for the past 2 yrs, I have felt this fabric is a very promising area of the SA culture, one that hasnt yet quite been explored to its full potential. It can very easily turn into a huge fashion trend if taken seriously...

Indian Rainbow

This amazing retail store, SHOPPERS STOP, back home in India, does these beautiful eye catching tunics in wonderfully bright colors. They use a mix of fabrics like silk, silk jacquard, satins along with light weight cottons and hand made embroidery and embellishments. The result is fabulous and bright, much like an Indian version of the rainbow, if I may say....


It just adds so much brightness, not just to your ensemble but also to your mood...

Such a beautiful way to carry a little slice of India with you, on your way back.

welcome the new color of the season...

who says neutrals cant be sexy..!

mix n match with bright accessories to turn them up a notch!!!
Another very good example of how we can play around with any color dull or bright, and make it into a statement outfit. Not everything needs to be bright...just like not everything needs to be dull..... accessories and makeup play a very important part in dressing you up or down!!!
