Dec 21st is , glad that this versatile, timeless and draped apparel has its special day in the calendar. I am a fan of sarees and often choose one as my outfit of the day. I choose to attend work, walk the dog, travel by car or flight or train and just do whatever comes along in a full busy life. Plus, I encourage others to know the saree, understand its sustainability, its design variations and most importantly how to drape it. Glimpses from my in with

Research for all the details, including reference images from calendar art, stage performances, comic books, tv shows and movies, plus texts, over a period of more than 6 months, helped with all the nitty gritty and details for each character’s looks. Be it the crown or hair, the tilak on forehead, facial hair, jewelry lengths and types say stone, pearl or gold or seeds, each specific point was listed, and discussed with the producers and directors. Budget and material availability were limitations in which creativity blossomed. Visited dress walls in Mumbai for sourcing but rental was v expensive. Friends and family in Pune and Delhi helped check the local stores for supplies but that didn’t work out. Until one of the producer hit the jackpot during her trip to India and could source a lot of dance jewelry, Hanuman’s tail and a few wigs. Local to Boston drama artists and groups were very helpful in guidance and lending a hand for costumes plus props, was able to source few dhotis, weapons and more from them. Sustainability is foundation of my work and plenty of options were sourced and crafted from items the cast members owned, right from jewelry, sarees to dupattas and more. Few items were purchased for future shows as an investment by the production. Working with passionate and dedicated team members, all amateurs and volunteers, showcased not just their talent but their generosity too, for all the time and efforts spent supporting each other to make the show happen.

48 storytellers, 1 timeless epic. Endless gratitude.
Last month, on Oct 11th, I had the honor of presenting my work for the cast performing Ramleela Reimagined, a production by . My first official gig as a fashion/ costume designer as founder of .2074, on stage. What a ride!
I built the palette to echo the story:
- royals of Ayodhya in vibrant reds and yellows for courage, joy and Dharma.
- royals of Lanka in deep blacks and gold to signal power and shadow.
Every look was crafted to be cultural, sustainably sourced, and intricately constructed, with upcycled textiles, thoughtful finishes, and modular elements to handle fast changes while minimizing waste. To be continued…

Monster of consumerism: for Halloween, chose an upcycled ecoprint dress, layered under the cloak which depicts wails of Aqua, Flora, Fauna. The cloak was show opener at Museum of Science event, and I made it using old bedsheets, and fabric samples from furniture store, on their way to the dumpster.
The ecological harm caused by clothing industry is much more scarier than any ghoul, ghost or witch. Buy less, choose well and take good care of what you own.

BUGs a film by Vitoria Cribb seen at MASP. The artist addresses feelings of agony and exhaustion in a world where technology has become inseparable from everyday life. This work lingers on, seeing a bug, a Volkswagen and humanoid stuck in a blank room, in agony and fear.
