Vasundhara’s autumn winter collection reflects the spirit of wilderness:  natural rocks, filigree, leaves, twigs, branches, jeweled insects, bugs and butterflies.

Wilderness is about serenity, purity and harmony, says she. It captures the essence of the universe, as it were meant to be, where elements come together in perfect synchrony. My collection at the AIFWAW16, Werifesteria – a stroll in the forest in search of mystery – depicts harmony through its quirkiness, much like the overarching serenity enveloping the cacophony in a forest.

Apala signifies most beautiful in Sanskrit, which reflects in its exclusive style, mood and craftsmanship, made to perfection by some of India’s finest artisans. It is handcrafted with thought, care and vision, keeping in mind different personalities.

Gabrielle Chanel was the first fashion designer to create a line of high jewellery. In 1932 she broke all the codes and rules of this incredibly closed world with her “Bijoux de diamants” collection and skilfully showed how they could be fabulous precious ornaments. True to this philosophy, CHANEL jewellery today pushes open the doors of a fashion boutique for a preview presentation of pieces from the “Comète Rock” collection.

For the occasion, the CHANEL boutique on the Faubourg Saint-Honoré is transforming its ground floor into a veritable ephemeral jewellery box. This space with its satiny pink lacquered walls and floor carpeted in feather designs accommodates a deconstructed bird cage: here and there parts of this cage set the scene within a world of infinite femininity. This highly original installation sits amidst cascades of white leather camellias, floating mannequins and champagne-hued ceruse-finished wood furniture.

To illustrate the avant-garde concepts of Gabrielle Chanel’s jewellery, parts of the female body have been sculpted from plaster into very feminine gestures and attitudes: a long necklace is draped over a nude back, a mouth bites into a brooch… The pieces on show are taken from themes so dear to the House: the feather, the quilting, the lion, the camellia and of course, the comet.

Razia Kunj, a Mumbai based design fashioner’s debut collection “Art and Fact’ of hand crafted and hand painted jewellery will be unveiled at an exclusive exhibition at The Easel, Juhu, Mumbai.

Bridging the gap between art & jewellery is Razia’s debut collection of bespoke jewellery, which is the culmination of a series of experiments with shrinking the canvas where art meets fashion.With the intention to take art from the walls of galleries and temples, from the pages of Indian folklore, from dance forms and tribal art, from forgotten nook and crannies of rural India and hand it to a woman as a form of adornment.

Razia maintains that wearable art will continue to be her theme but she will be experimenting with more graphic forms. From recycling to conservation to pop art, she has a slew of ideas each of which will form an individual collection.
