After being raised in the Greater Toronto Area, these two passionate ladies packed their bags and moved to Bombay. They've been traveling all over India, learning about the history of textiles that are specific to certain regions of our Motherland, and then working with locals to bring their heritage and traditions back to the forefront of fashion.
Their latest line was developed in Banaras. This time, instead of traveling in a pair, the NorBlack NorWhite ladies invited their Moms to join them on their journey. Below is a beautiful glimpse into their world. You might want to watch it in full-screen to cach the sub-titles:
Welcome to the future.

If 2010's DCW was any indication, there will be a lot of off-the-wall designs showcased this coming weekend. Amidst the maddness, staples like Manish Malhotra will undoubtedly bring some new ideas to the table for 2012 Brides.
Here is a clip of Manish Malhotra's 2010 DCW showcase.

Thursday, July 14, 2011 at 6:22PM | Click Here to Share Tarun Tahiliani GETS IT! It's that fine balance between our Eastern heritage, and the fit, cut and simplicity of the Western world. It's a rare balance, and TT has proven his skills as if he was a professionally trained tightrope walker.
In an interesting move, Tahiliani has dismissed the idea of another industry fashion show, and instead has decided to showcase the 2011 Tarun Tahiliani Bridal Couture Exposition in a gallery setting. He'll be taking his exposition outside of the traditional Delhi and Mumbai stops, with exhibitions scheduled in Hyderabad and Kolkata as well.
Over the past couple of years, I've enjoyed Tahiliani's soft colour schemes, wide vintage borders and most importantly, his simplicity in design.
“Luxury is inside, never outside, the true buyer of couture understands that, only the nouveau riche want clothes to scream” -- Tarun Tahilani

The star of the shoot, Giselli Monteiro, is a Brazilian model and Bollywood actress. She made her film debut playing the role of "Harleen Kaur" in the 2009 Bollywood film Love Aaj Kal.
Kudos from CTC West!
