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.
