Do you think that friends replace family when one stays on their own?

the first stitch...

Oscar Wilde once said, “Fashion is a form of ugliness so intolerable that we have to alter it every six months.” So does that mean that the fashion that comes out every six months is as ugly as any other?
Well, fashion for me is not just about clothes. It is about the attitude you have, the hairstyle you sport and even the tagline you have on your G-Talk. When I was first introduced to fashion in NIFT, Delhi, I realised that I was just looking at this F-word through a very small keyhole. There I met fashion junkies! Pink streaked hair, really low waist denims, brown shoes with red laces (I did this one too) and bags made out of old torn jeans. They form a different cult altogether when they study fashion. When I was not a part of this cult I used to call them the ‘scissor n stitch’ cult. When I became a part of it, it became ‘yards n yarn’ cult. That’s because I loved the whole textiles of the fabrics and how they were made. But enough of technical crap!
Fashion students, in the beginning are like Columbus. They don’t need direction, neither did he! But when they reach the spotlight they forget Columbus. Anyways my whole aim of opening this blog is to let you be close to my world. Yes I got into this world because I chose to… it is fun, famished, flourishing, foolish and fantabulous!
