Anaka grew up surrounded by handloom made and hand-crafted textiles. She owes her love for the fabric to watching her mother run a sari business.Handloom made and hand-crafted textiles. She owes her love for the fabric to watching her mother run a sari business.
For those of you who don’t know, she is the designer & amp; proprietor of Brass Tacks and believes in creating clothes that have a modern silhouette, made out of natural textiles, perfect for the urban woman.I met Anaka during the launch of her store in Bangalore , and beyond the fact that she designs some amazing clothes, I loved her style! She is refined & creative in her way of dressing. You will often find her wearing saris with regular tops, shirts, pants and belts, with pleats in the back, side, or with the pallu twisted around her neck – anything but the ubiquitous drape of 6 pleats in front and the pallu tossed over the left shoulder. When I dug a little deeper into her love for saris and drapes, I found out so much more. Its fascinating to see how she believes that a sari can be put together to fit your lifestyle and personality, for occasion ranging from the party to running errands. So it felt like the perfect opportunity to explore Anaka’s creative process and personal style a bit further and all the stories that came with it.

India is a country globally associated with opulence and regality. When it comes to lavish weddings and ceremonial celebrations, Indian Ethnic wear has always been the favorite across the world.

In today’s time of turbulence when everything is undergoing transformation, Indian fashion façade is undergoing a shift too. But one thing that remains perennial is our love for Indian Ethnic Wear. Though we have embraced the changing style sensibilities of the world with wide arms, we have been successful in keeping our traditional roots and regal inheritance of style intact.

That said, we do see a change in the preferences of people these days as against what they used to wear a decade back. Gone are the days when there was just one shop in your locality from where your mother along with all other aunties residing in the neighbourhood went to buy that single outfit which you wore to your cousin’s wedding, festivities with friends and maybe even Diwali.

What has changed in present times is that we have myriad of options available – options as to color and cut, fabric and style. Just think of the array of illustrious fabrics available to us like brocade, silk, taffeta, crepe de chine, and chiffons. The multitudinous embroidery and embellishment on these fabrics add to the royalty of an outfit and the style makes dressing in Indian Ethnic Wear all the more fun.

What has also changed is the perception of men towards dressing. Men aren’t far behind when embracing or keeping up with the latest styles and trends. During festivities, it’s not just the women but also the men vying to grab the eyeballs of everyone around. And what better than Indian Ethnic Wear to turn the heads…

The change is visible not just in the outfits but also the accessories segment. Men and women are increasingly going for accessories that serve to make style statements. The accessories for women ranging from jewelry to bridal bags are currently in vogue while men prefer mojaris and stole to go with their traditional outfits.

All in all, nothing could make you appear more regal than Indian Ethnic wear. The wedding season is here heralding the excitement of the bride and groom eager to tie the knot and the family equally eager to shower blessings.

So all you beautiful ladies and gentlemen out there-flatter yourself with Indian Ethnic Wear.
