For the last couple of days we have really done sooo much but my computer hasn't wanted to work with the wifi! It feels like we have been in India for much longer than one week.
We have visited the Crafts museum in Delhi and saw some really beautiful traditional uses of Indian textiles. That same day we also went to a shopping mall where some of the top indian/Western fusion designers sell their clothes...to show us the link between Indian and western fashion we then went to see the store of two sisters who have introduced western fashion to the Indian runway. Unlike the other designers that we had seen previously with embroidery and print, the dynamic duo works mostly with bock colours and non traditional fabrications such as neoprene. Their style and their success really shows the demand and push away from traditional Indian clothing toward interest in western design.
After seeing the two sisters we drove out to a Factory of one of India's top three designers.
It was minnnd blowing !!! ! None of us had seen production at such scale before, we were all in awe.
There were seven levels home to different parts of the business. Even the roof was being used for hand work !!
it was so great to see how production works at such a high level and how many people it takes to produce the intricate work that is seen in Indian designs.
After our big day we all went out to Kasbah for dinner and had some delissssssious Indian food !!
