My closest friends can vouch for it. I do not even have the budget for compulsive shopping, but that's not the point here π . Because of my line of work and my love for fashion and lifestyle, people tend to think I have a wardrobe full of beautiful clothes, shoes, and accessories. And while that may be true to some extent, my wardrobe might not really meet the "blogger-wardrobe" expectations.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">I love to window-shop, don't get me wrong here. I love knowing what's on the rack, what's on the online sales, what's the newest art on the runaway. It helps me decide what to buy and where to invest. When I shop for myself, I ponder upon a piece for the longest time- Do I have an alternative of this piece in my closet already? In how many ways can I wear this? Will I really wear it out? Or is it something I can hand-it-down to a cousin? If it β one of these boxes I go ahead and buy it!</p><p style="text-align: justify;">There are always exceptions, of course. Those pieces do not logically fit into my "needs" and lean more towards my "wants". For those pieces, I sleep on them. If it haunts me in my dreams and flashes at the back of my head while I take a bath (like those beautiful Japanese ghosts π¬) I go ahead and buy it. And when that happens, I've realized I wear them more often than I thought I would- pushing my creativity to try to fit them into my style. My Zara animal print heels I bought back in 2018 is one such example. </p><p style="text-align: justify;">I first saw them in a mall in Mumbai. I absolutely LOVED it. But I didn't "need" it. So I applied the technique I always do. I slept on. it.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-cB8rk6AZpx8/YEnl41nfa0I/AAAAAAAAE_g/ULv2L9K8xH4HztHMo9j1EDbaouAaQvkygCLcBGAsYHQ/s2048/IMG_4911.jpeg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1536" data-original-width="2048" height="300" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-cB8rk6AZpx8/YEnl41nfa0I/AAAAAAAAE_g/ULv2L9K8xH4HztHMo9j1EDbaouAaQvkygCLcBGAsYHQ/w400-h300/IMG_4911.jpeg" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-VO2maPsUvl8/YEnmin05lCI/AAAAAAAAE_w/kQ5L51Q5rCkNxNBDIUpuSO1sM6d12_nEQCLcBGAsYHQ/s2048/IMG_4909.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1536" data-original-width="2048" height="300" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-VO2maPsUvl8/YEnmin05lCI/AAAAAAAAE_w/kQ5L51Q5rCkNxNBDIUpuSO1sM6d12_nEQCLcBGAsYHQ/w400-h300/IMG_4909.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">Now, one cannot possibly think one could forget about this beauty once one has slipped one's feet into themπ Am I right or am I right? So weeks past and it was clear I was bewitched. So I bought it as a birthday/Christmas gift for myself (cons of being a December born). You know how this turned out sustainable? I increased its Life Cycle, its longevity, its use. The number of times I've worn it makes it worth my purchase. To this day (March 2021) it is my favorite "dress-up" shoe. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">An example of how not buying what I want and instead of buying cheaper alternatives turned out unsustainable? My love for Nike's Air Force One. My reason for not owning it is not only the price of the shoe, in fact, it has more to do with it being NIKE's. I've avoided buying the brand ever since news of the brand's unfair practices when it comes to hiring child labour surfaced (first in 2001 and then again) in 2010. My love for the design, however, never died. So I bought alternatives from different brands hoping secretly that the white sneaker trend fades away meanwhile. This never happened. And now years later when I am in need of white sneakers all I can think of is the Air Force. All the sneakers bought before were a waste. An unsustainable purchase. Ones I never truly wore out. Waste of material, money, and ownership.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">Oh the dilemma. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">You see that's the thing about Sustainability. No one formula can work for all, and yet we all must choose to be a little more thoughtful, care a little more, put a little more effort into calculating which method would help in your situation. Less impulsiveness. More mindfulness. </div>Felnunmoi Gangtehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16452243090259624101noreply@blogger.com0Mumbai, Maharashtra, India19.0759837 72.8776559-9.2342501361788472 37.721405899999993 47.386217536178847 108.0339059tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7804045560041522402.post-85903113944177298342019-01-11T16:23:00.001+05:302019-01-11T16:24:30.730+05:30Revolution<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">

A Very Happy New Year!!!</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Another year passed, another ahead. It is very easy to take all these changes for granted. This holiday I got reminded why each and every hour counts- what you make of yourself during your time is what makes all the difference.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The year 2018 was a huge one for me- especially academically, as I got to work with so many people with different projects very close to my heart. In the previous post I revealed my Industry Internship Project with NEDFi on Water Hyacinth Crafts. And in the later half of the year I got introduced to Sericulture and all its glory- a new dimension unexplored. This post is all about a Revolution.</div>

<span style="font-family: "arialmt"; font-size: 12.000000pt;">The fashion industry today is merging the traditional handloom and handicraft into the western ensembles thus creating a
niche market for the new-age designers. In Mizoram, designers are venturing out of their comfort zone to create garments
from the traditional handloom textile called <i>puan</i>. In this project a product is designed: a textile design hand-woven, hand-spun fabric by
weavers of Mizoram under the <b>Department of Sericulture, Mizoram.
</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arialmt"; font-size: 12.000000pt;"><b><br /></b></span>
<span style="font-family: "arialmt"; font-size: 12pt;"><br class="Apple-interchange-newline" />The Mizo textile industry is booming now more than ever. However, the market is still subjected to only certain parts of the country where its audiences are the Mizo themselves residing outside the state of Mizoram. The limitation to the textile of the state is the fact that it is woven in only a certain dimension meant for the traditional wrap called β</span><span style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: 12pt; font-style: italic;">puan</span><span style="font-family: "arialmt"; font-size: 12pt;">.β Any western clothing designed with the Mizo textile uses the puan itself as there are no β</span><span style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: 12pt; font-style: italic;">than</span><span style="font-family: "arialmt"; font-size: 12pt;">β weaved in the handloom clusters. If the </span><span style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: 12pt; font-style: italic;">puan </span><span style="font-family: "arialmt"; font-size: 12pt;">is extended to any other size, it is usually customized for home products like bedspreads, table cloth, table runners, pillow cases, etc. This lacuna in the fabric manufacturing sector does not stop the local designers from creating garments out of the traditional </span><span style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: 12pt; font-style: italic;">puan</span><span style="font-family: "arialmt"; font-size: 12pt;">, and the demand for such garments seem to increase now more than ever. However, this limits the possibilities in terms of the garment designs itself since only panels can be used in the currently available dimension and design. The need for change in pattern and motif arises because the existing patterns are all engineered patterns weaved keeping in mind the designs that will show and those that will overlap. The average </span><span style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: 12pt; font-style: italic;">puan </span><span style="font-family: "arialmt"; font-size: 12pt;">developed today uses acrylic yarns purchased from other states of India. <b>In this project I developed an ethnic handloom fabric which is made exclusively in Mizoram. </b></span><br />

For the project, I studied the existing motifs in our traditional <i>puan, </i>made my own changes to accommodate yardage textile design, and got a master weaver to weave this beautiful piece. The motif used is <i>phengphelep</i>, meaning butterfly. What makes the piece so unique is also the fact that the cocoon used is all reared in the state and the yarn is all hand-spun, making it <i>khadi</i>. The <i>puan</i> thus created is safely 100% Made in Mizoram. The garment constructed is a <i>kurti</i>-dress. This is to show the versatility of the <i>puan</i> and its potential in the mainland Indian market.</div>

I'm back with a story to tell and pictures to treat your eyes. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
I completed two months of my Summer Industry Internship and am back in Mumbai for the beginning of a new Semester. For the people who are reading my blog for the first time, I am pursuing my Master of Design Space in NIFT Mumbai after my Bachelor of Design, Fashion Design from NIFT Delhi and a year of working as a Social Media Manager for brands. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
All it took was a twist of fate driven by introspection to get where I am today. I started off as a young fashion design aspirant, star struck by the glitz and glamour of the fashion world to slowing learning much more about design philosophy than what meets the eye. To stand where I stand now, which is a humble step high enough to see what our society needs and high enough to realise all the dimensions I have to yet explore of what our region has to offer, and not taking the plunge is almost a sin. Today I see the helping hand I can be in upbringing the very people responsible to keeping our roots alive.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
This internship was a ladder I had to climb. As a part of the curriculum, the post graduate students are supposed to work under any institution/brand for two months. I have had a connection with Aqua Weaves before. If you remember the Expose' 2016 collection I did in Aizawl (<a href="http://mawipuiloves.blogspot.com/2017/01/urban-tribe-expose-2016.html" target="_blank">CLICK HERE</a>) I had water hyacinth bags as accessories to my collection. The demand for the bags were high and the trend kept evolving. Long story short, I ended up designing a collection for the very brand I was a fan of. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<b><i>Aqua Weaves</i></b> is a brand by <b>NEDFi</b> (<a href="http://www.nedfi.com/" target="_blank">What is NEDFi?</a>) as a part of their CSR activity. Thus, the water hyacinth weavers are local artisans who earn directly from the customers. There is no intervention of a middleman if bought from the showrooms in Guwahati and Noida or from the artisans themselves. </div>

<b><i>Aqua Weaves</i></b> have been following the same designs for years, and this was the first time a design intervention was taking place. This very fact was a challenge and a treat. The artisans I worked with were so accepting and patient with me. I had to learn the craft before I designed any product, and that meant handling my ignorance and teaching me the nitty gritty of the craft. The whole internship was knowledge being passed laterally. Below are some pictures from the shoot I did for my products.</div>

The showroom there also have the latest products showcased for sale.

The <i>wicker</i> trend has been surfacing across fashion reports, followed by brands coming out with every possible shape and size. These handcrafted products are works of craftsmen and vary from one product to another. This makes it different from ones produced by machines in mass. Each weave is carefully twisted for you and every penny paid for it makes a difference in the lives of people. </div>

We live in a generation where the lines between extremities have drastically reduced. These blurred lines allow other elements to seep into the vicinity, thus creating a world which is dynamic and versatile. The new version to "survival of the fittest" have become "blending to survival". </div>

No, but on a serious note, importance to individuality, exposure to experiences, openess to new ideas-all these has been moulding the millenials to aspire of a world where the concept of "best of both worlds" is prevalent. Nothing is pure anymore. <b>F I N D T H E B E A U T Y</b> in that.</div>

<a name='more'></a>I think all that pretty much explains what I do with my clothing and accessories, how I style them... basically, my aesthetics. Whatever I've created as a designer gives out such a big <b>HINT</b> of who I am, where I've been, and what I've experience over the years. With utmost respect to cultures built over decades, I try my best to keep some elements, say, techniques and tools, authentic while playing around with design elements. Now, how pure and ethical are these <i>blendings</i> with respect to cultures and traditions of the indigenous, I can't say. However, with the purest intention of keeping up with technological advances and activities pertaining to the current lifestyles of people, I think what I and the likes of me try to create is practical and lucrative.<br />

Okay, now let's talk OUTFIT. </div>
Today I'm wearing my own designed top with a very Gujarati silhouette. Pure cotton block print cotton top like these are perfect for humid places like Guwahati and Mumbai where I reside right now. I've paired it with my current favorite denim from H&M. Oh I have to tell you this: This is the very first pair of distressed/torn jeans I own. It's a rare first because I have always considered myself experimental and yet torn jeans- I was always skeptical about. I wan't sure if it helped in defining my personality. But now, I couldn't suppress my inner urge to follow the trend. So, here I am! Pairing it humbly with a cotton almost-kurti-looking top.<br />
<br />
For the look, I wanted a very juxtaposed feel- like a blend of street/ethnic/smart.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b> SUSTAINABLY STREET SMART. </b></div>
<br />
The bag here is a water hyacinth (<i>pani meteka</i>) handcrafted bag by the craftsmen in Assam, a project under the CSR Division of NEDFi. Water hyacinth is traditionally a very hindersome plant which grows in the ponds and lakes of the Northeast region specially Assam and Manipur. This plant has been creatively put to use to generate sustainable products and provide a living to the community with a readily available raw material. I hereby also announce that I'm currently working on a project with them to develop a new collection of handcrafted home products and fashion accessories. There are other projects in hand too and I cannot wait to reveal them in due time!<br />
<br />
The scarf is my very own Vakiria Bloom scarf I had developed for <b style="color: #666666; font-family: Puritan; font-size: 15px; text-align: center;"><a href="http://mawipuiloves.blogspot.com/2017/01/urban-tribe-expose-2016.html" target="_blank">EXPOSEΒ΄ 2016</a></b><span style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: "puritan"; font-size: 15px; text-align: center;"> </span> fashion show in Aizawl.

OKay, enough of the self-endorsement. π I'd like to thank my mother for having the patience to hold the camera and click me, embarassing herself in front of passersby just so that people stop complaining about me being so M-I-A.π<br />

This look somehow reminds me of the 90s' <i>Westside</i> song "<b>Uptown Girl</b>". π</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
The metallic T-shirt, the boots, the background all composes the feel of the song. I swear the model has nothing to do with my comparisonπ Claudia Schiffer is a gem and the look she transforms into in the later half of the music video gives me all the <i>Uptown-girl-eyeing-downtown-boy</i> feels.<br />

You know how people say the greatest love is the love of God? Well, I've found that to be true.<br />
<b><br /></b>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Agape: </b><span style="background-color: white; color: #545454; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><i>is a Greco-Christian term referring to love, "the highest form of love, charity" and "the love of God for man and of man for God".</i></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white; color: #545454; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><i><br /></i></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
The concept of self-love has become the sermon everyone lives by today. Let me tell you a secret:</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
You can only love yourself truly if you have understood Agape. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I have come across people in relationships who allow themselves to be hurt. If only you knew how much God loves you and hates seeing you being crushed by others, you'd ultimately get away from the toxic because you wouldn't want to hurt Him. See, it all comes down to being selfless- The truest form of self-love is a selfless act. If you love yourself you would not want to hurt others either. Why? Because you know that by hurting others you are putting your own reputation and peace at stake. Thus, the purest form of self-love creates a peaceful and a loving environment. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
This year I've vowed to remind myself to take care of my own being for God. He loves me so much it would not be fair if I settle for anything less than what He has in store for me. I hope you do not settle either. "The wait is sexy", says Yvonne Orji in her Ted Talk available on YouTube. <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8zw7AXwnb8M" target="_blank">CHECK IT OUT</a></div>

This time I decided to give the dress a nice sparkly effect. This see-through net top is the ultimate win-win garment to make you feeling dressed up and flirty. I am also currently in love with HOOPS! Hooped earrings are my thing this season. I should save this for another post π and then the hair! This really got me out of my comfort zone. I am so insecure about my round face, I avoid every hairstyle that has anything to do with showing all my face, but I guess it's not so bad afterall. π</div>

Valentine's Day is the occassion which brings anxiety to my being whether I'm in a relationship or not. The festival has become such a tradition to the popular culture that adding a post dedicated to it would be a safe cliche I can play with. I have a post for you-three days in a row, dedicated to all the readers who I would not blame if they cursed me for not being regular in my posts. </div>

I decided to leave the dress as it is for the first look. I wanted the feminity of the dress to shine through. I accessorised it with chunky stones to give it an edge.</div>

It is no doubt that denim jackets are a wardrobe staple. When they come in all shapes and sizes, the season decides which is to be worn today and the season staple right now is this over sized denim jacket.<br />
<br /></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I had been dreaming of this baby ever since I first laid my eyes on it in FOREVER21. However, because of my budget lifestyle I had to wait till the sales online on Myntra to grab them <i>*giggles*</i></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
And now that I have it, I cannot stop wearing it. So I decided to wear them five days straight to college. (I'm a little extra, I know)</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

For the second look I went trendy, the striped pant et al. Here's the twist though: I have had this leggings since forever. I used to wear them at home during winters. And then fashion cycle happened.<br />

This is by far one of the biggest posts I've ever done. Five outfits in a single post can be a menace. It did take a lot of time for me to finalise the pictures too. Thanks to my dedicated roomie/photographer I managed to get quite a lot of good pictures (<i>read: outfit focused pictures</i>). So I'm planning to do a full blog post on any two looks from these five. Do help me choose! </div>

I am almost done with the first semester of Masters of Design course in NIFT Mumbai. It feels almost lethargic to get into this whole "going to classes everyday" routine after a gap year. However, the energy of the hectic days in NIFT Delhi during my bachelors has starting kicking in and I am slowly but surely gaining my momentum; not just in terms of assignments and all that sass but also when it comes to dressing up.</div>

It did take me a while to get myself into dressing up creatively again. Let me tell you a secret: <b>No matter how "natural" these stylish people around you seem to make dressing up feel like, it does take some extra effort to look good: </b>A little more brain into smart shopping, smart styling and smart attitude to carry them off.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
And for people in the creative field, which is almost all people existing (because every activity on the surface of the Earth require some creativity), putting that extra effort helps brainstorming to evoke creative pulses in you.</div>

My "Back-to-school" outfit consist of basic colors: BLACK, WHITE and RED.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
I wore a black tank top with belted maxi skirt, which is knotted in the slits to allow free movement around the corridors for when I feel hyperactive and playful. I paired it with white sneakers, a trend which I am sure will soon be considered a classic (if it's already not been declared so) because they do not seem to be going away. I also wore my super huge plastic spectacles which aids my actual eyesight and not just the outfit. And lastly, the bag: it is a bag for attending college where we study (guys?). So it has to be big enough for books no? <i>*wink*</i></div>

And in this wonderful new found love of dressing up (every new relationship feels new right?), I am lucky to have found Charu Gupta, who is willing to click my annoying face with more enthusiasm than the enthusiasm I have to pose around for the camera.<br />

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms"; font-size: 12px; text-align: left;">The journey to self-discovery starts when we find out the game we are part of and try to learn the rules to play it. The process keeps evolving as we grow. The thousand layers that we have around us shed one by one and with each falling cover we are amazed to discover a new side to ourselves. The world has evolved and the theory of β<i>Be-ing yourself</i>β is a trending slogan. But the quest to justify this consumes most of our lives and our wish to follow our heart is often denied.</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms"; font-size: 12px; text-align: left;">Humans have been following the path of the universe and laying out stencils for generations to trace them. Since it was necessary for the coming generations to adopt the pre-made molds; religions came into existence.</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'trebuchet ms'; font-size: 12px;">Right from birth we are being directed of the right and the wrong without being explained about the antithesis and the synthesis behind it. This is where we lose ourselves and the conditioned layouts domicile inside us. Since, we are not aware about the logic, we fail to comprehend the differences between the universal and the set patterns. Our beliefs are bread in the same charge and we are barricaded from following our heart and are stopped from being who we are.</span></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS'; font-size: 12px; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 10px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-kerning: none;">Not just our behaviour; what we wear and how we carry it also defines us. Our changing attitude, clothes and style brings out a new side of us which was left unexplored. "<i>Be Yourself</i>" is not just a statement, it is our signature style that we always wear without any masks or pretentiousness. It is who we really are when we let go off the shadows overpowering us. Everything else that we claim to be when we shout out loud, β<i>This is who I am" </i>is just a story.</span></div>

<span style="font-kerning: none;">Think <b>Fashion</b>: We are often told to have our own sense of style to give our clothes a "character". But aren't we just recreating what already exists in the market for us to make it ours and call it our own? How original is our style affected by media and influencers all around us? Can we strip them off the credit rolls? Can we strip us off either? The thin line between who we really are and how the society has moulded us has always been a very fine line. </span></div>

<i>Hello peeps!</i></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Last time I wrote I mentioned I was starting a new chapter in my life.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So here I am revealing the mystery-</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I have finally moved to Mumbai, well, Navi Mumbai, to be precise.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I am continuing my studies in NIFT Mumbai, pursuing Master of Design (Post Graduate in Design Space) after taking a year break from studies. The gap year was much needed. I explored my potential in different fields in the industry, worked for different people as a freelance designer and writer, got to stay at home a lot and spend a healthy time on myself.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I will write about my transition of Fashion Design to Design theory and academics in later posts. I am loving this course and hope to make the best of my days here. </div>

I have been experimenting with my #college #ootd a lot, and have been regular at updating them on my Instagram. Do follow <a href="https://www.instagram.com/mawipuiloves/?hl=en" target="_blank">Mawipuiloves</a> for tips and updates on styling your clothes differently everytime to wear them to make them look fresh. (This trait is a must-know for college going students without uniforms, no kidding!)<br />
<br />
My style has evolved overtime with my personality. I think I'm more settled now and I find myself wearing clothes that I'm the most comfortable in.<br />
<br />
Here, I am pairing my oversized denim flared top with a fitted belt on the waist to give a shape to my silhouette. I am wearing a printed kimono to layer it up. I have worn this top with a boot-cut denim too (check it out here: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/BXVGX3ODFM7/?hl=en&taken-by=mawipuiloves" target="_blank">here</a>). Since I went for a basic leggings and pumps with this look, I added a statement earrings to accessorise.<br />
<br />

I have many posts planned ahead for whenever time permits me to post. I have topics I want to write about and want your opinions on. Do stay tuned for more discussions on fashion and ethics (yaay! :P ), and everything style. Until then, reach out and mail me enquiries about anything you think I would know. Always happy to help!</div>

We all go through that phase in life when you feel like you've done it all, or more likely, you've felt it all. All possible emotions, matters of the heart and worldly pressure. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
And then, you get a break. Not the kind of break you take, not the kind where you book a ticket and fly off to some island, but the kind that really causes you to <b><i>PAUSE</i></b>. <b>REFLECT</b>. <b>REFRACT</b>. </div>

This shoot happened in the middle of nowhere in Imphal, Manipur. We were on our way to our native town to visit my grandparents. We stopped by at Imphal for some work. The atmosphere and the landscape there is amazing and so it led to a series of unplanned outfit poses. </div>

For those of you familiar with my style, you know this is out of my zone. I experimented outside my boho-spirit for this look and turned on my alter-ego. </div>

<br />
Two of the most transfixing trends the Spring Summer 2017 fashion runways had us believing are:<br />
Number One, <i><b>Metallics</b></i>. Number Two, <b><i>Athleisure</i></b>. For this look, I decided to jauxtapose it- and add a little feminity to keep my sanity and call the look mine.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
The star items in my ensemble are :</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
(1) Glossy Metallic Crop T-shirt (2) Sequinned Gym Shorts (3) PINK</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<b>LOOK ONE</b>: <i>To the Moon and Back</i><br />
<i><br /></i>
So what if we are not literally sending all our love to the moon and back to the Earth to prove our love to our loved ones? The metaphor is enough to let us know how much we fancy the spaces up and above and all the love that comes in between. This look is flirty and fun. I paired my garments with cute fluffy strap heels which tones down the stark metallics. I'm carrying a similar creamy toned pouch with pom pom chained to it for an extra Elle Woods effect.<br />

<b>LOOK TWO</b>: <i>Stay Active</i></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<i><br /></i></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Let me be bitterly honest with you, I hate the gym. Wait, hate is too strong a word. I <i>dislike</i> the gym. I <i>dislike</i> the whole concept of "working-out" inside four walls staring at youself or at others, I <i>dislike</i> the smell of the sweat, the monotony in the exercises, the songs they play, I <i>dislike</i> almost everything about the most trending place-to-be of the era. However, that has nothing to do with my perception of a healthy lifestyle. I think a person should be his/her most healthy and fittest self at all times and if the gym keeps you at it, you are good. For me, I enjoy outdoors, I prefer running, swimming and if anything to do with indoors, then, aerobics and dancing. This outfit I've put together stays true to being an <i>athleisure</i> and a <i>sports luxe</i>. It can be worn for a healthy 30 min dance session or a trendy 2 hour walk to the mall. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
All I did with the previous look was strip away from the heavy makeup, swap heels for my Nike, swap the heavy earrings for more delicate ones for a minor change in detail and we are good to go!</div>

I have owned this trench-dress for a very long time in Delhi and without wearing it, brought it down to Guwahati and now after almost a year here, I thought I should give it a chance. The voluminous silhouette is not my typical style so I <span style="background-color: yellow;">looked</span> for ways to keep it as casual and "street" as possible. I am not comfortable with very glamorous looks, and hence, the streetstyle genre of my personal style.<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
Now, this trench is a thrift buy, so the original belt must have lost its way. Anyone living in a budget will agree a wardrobe needs only the basic belt. So what do you do when your belt is not "compatible" to your ensemble? You create one.<br />
<br />
Having lived in Delhi has its perks. Every girl owns few scarves of different color and size, because- dust. Here is what you do to transform your long scarf into a belt-<br />

I am wearing a pointed ballerina pair of shoes, a delicate neckpiece, a pair of bedazzled jhumkas and a wrist-watch to complete my look. And yes, my hair is different- again. Told you I can not sport the same hair for more than two months. Okay, bye. Enjoy the weather!<br />

<div style="font-family: Times; font-size: 16px; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-kerning: none;">We all have that one slogan tee we just wear at home. Or wear it out when emergency and do not have to match them up- well, because they do just fine. </span></div>
<div style="font-family: Times; font-size: 16px; line-height: normal; min-height: 19px;">
<span style="font-kerning: none;"></span><br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Times; font-size: 16px; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-kerning: none;">However, to prove to the world I can exaggerate almost everything in life, here I am styling the most basic slogan tee in three ways. </span></div>
<div style="font-family: Times; font-size: 16px; line-height: normal; min-height: 19px;">
<span style="font-kerning: none;"></span><br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="font-family: Times; font-size: 16px; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-kerning: none;">FYI, the slogan tee here is a special non-sensical tee by a very famous page on Facebook and Instagram called "<b>Zoektum</b>", run by very very sensible friends of mine. Err, I don't want to start explaining the meaning, mail be maybe ;P</span></div>

<span style="font-kerning: none;">For the first look, I went for a rocker chic look that has everything to do with my version of "desi-rock". I am very desi you know. So had to have the silver <i>jhumka</i> style necklace paired with choker. Gingham is my all time favorite and this skirt gives the ultimate grunge factor. High boots? Well, why not!</span></div>

<span style="font-kerning: none;">The last and final look for the post is named "Bohemian Glam", but it can also be categorised under Rock Glam or any other glam. For me, this is my dream rock concert outfit wherein I show my bohemian spirit. I have this elaborate neckpiece, super-disco-y shorts, printed scarf and felt hat to accessorize the look. The ankle length boot is paired with thigh high socks to lengthen the leg, visually, of course.</span></div>

My first ever fashion show after graduation came pretty early- three months after college. We, the Mizo graduates of NIFT centres across the country formed ourselves an association to recognise the designers hailing from the reputed institution to uplift the fashion scene of the region. We came up with <b>ExposeΒ΄ </b>to <i>expose</i> the talents of the designers and promote quality fashion education. Whilst doing this, we were blessed to have the MSCI behind our event to create breast cancer awareness in the state of Mizoram and other states as well. It was a collaboration so perfect, we wouldn't have it otherwise.<br />
<br />
For my collection Urban Tribe, I wanted to showcase my personal aesthetics in terms of color, silhouette, textures, prints and styling. I was the only one among the participating designers who had never had an established "label"/boutique in my name. So that meant I had no "team" to help me execute my ideas. I have to give my sincere thanks to the tailors and embroiders who I had known during my college days. It was, therefore, a challenge to create a collection of ten to twelve pieces for a collection. I have to give credits to my parents for the financial and moral support too, specially my mom who was there to guide me creatively as well.<br />
<br />
For this show I had specially created printed textiles in the form of scarves, which are seen hanging on the bags of the ensemble. The prints have motifs of traditional objects used by Mizos like, <i>saum</i> <i>bur</i>, <i>khelawk</i>, etc. and other significant motifs like bamboo, <i>vakiria</i>, <i>dar khuang</i> and <i>sial ki</i>. I have to thank <i><b>Sonal</b></i> for helping me out with the graphics and bringing my ideas to life. The bags too are customized woven with water hyacinth, by Assamese self-help groups here in Assam.<br />

Visiting Aizawl has always been such a pleasure for me. I love the weather, the ambience and the people. It has always welcomed me with good vibes and I hope to build a better association with the place in the years to come.</div>
<br />
Special thanks to all models for investing your time, energy and love into walking the ramp for us. We were indeed blessed to have the reputed models of Northeast- Janvi Deori, Triveni and Jessica Cunville walking for us.<br />
<br />
Sincere gratitude to <i>Valpuia</i> for being the best DJ we could ask for. Your tracks kept our show alive.<br />
To all my friends and family who attended the show, your love will always be remembered. And all of my peeps who constantly encourage me to go forward with my love for fashion, you soar high! I have too much to thank for and too little to give back. Just know, even on days I can not keep track, the Lord above always remembers. He will bless all the people who wishes the best for others.<br />
<br />
Last, but definitely not the least, my fellow designers from MNA who were a part of the show: I have never been admist such strong, independent and kind group of creative women who have nothing but love and respect to shower for each other. You are a true inspiration and a decent example for young feminists out there struggling today to create equal opportunities for both genders in the industry.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />

<a name='more'></a>I had a very blessed start to my New Year. The Lord has been gracious enough to help me see the greater good the new year could bring to me. I turned a year older last month and till then I did not feel any wiser. All I needed was a little brave introspection. That's the thing with me- I have always hated introspecting. I always hoped I could just forget the bad things ever happened and the good, well, just happened because of sheer luck. You know, no biggie.<br />
<br />
Of course God has been behind all these blessings, I've always known, but something in me was always terrified. I wish I could tell you what it was, I wish I could tell myself what it is.<br />
<br />
As of now, I know better. The time I have is better invested in being productive. I'm currently working under some brands as a Social Media Manager, I am also designing and stitching clothes for clients here in Guwahati. All these while I'm still struggling to find out my final destination. (Is there even such a thing?)<br />
<br />
Till then, I am enjoying every thing, every moment. Yesterday we went for a short trip to Shillong-Scotland of the East. Sharing some of the picturesque scene from the serene abode of clouds.<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<i>*smiles sheepishly*</i></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<i><br /></i></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I am not starting off with an apology this time. Else my blog would start looking like a bunch of documents on <i>how to apologise whenever you post a new blog post</i>. I have been upto so many things since the last time I wrote. Here is the list in random order:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
1. Graduation / Convocation</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
2. Shifting out of Delhi</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
3. ExposeΒ΄ 2016 </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
4. Church activities</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
5. Freelance writing and designing</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
And in between all this, I met new people, made new friends, got hurt once in a while and enjoyed every bit of life that happened.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The one thing that is constantly on my mind these days and have governed all my future plans and choices today is the quote given in my picture below.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<br />
<a name='more'></a>What does it mean to look beyond yourself? Today all of us are told to love ourselves more than ever, and if not we are incapable of loving others. True. However, how do you know where to draw the line? How do you know you are loving yourself and are ready to love others?<br />
<br />
The moment we stop being so full of ourselves and actually step out to do small things with a bigger purpose is the moment we can say we have understood Agape. <i>*proud Mother Teresa moment here*</i><br />
<i><br /></i>
Practically speaking, how do you go about doing this? In whatever line of career you are heading to, there is always a scope for thinking beyond yourself. Let me give you an example, ever since I have come to know of design in ways deeper than the superficial, I have always felt the need to inculcate the traits of design in students of all fields of expertise. This is because a good design solves problems in ways smarter than ideas with no design sensibilities. I have also always keep in mind to reflect my roots of origin in whatever I decide to put my name on. That way, I have a greater purpose. Instead of just trying to earn fame and fortune, wouldn't it be so much better achieving all this, and bringing along the society to which I belong, with me to rise higher?<br />
<br />
In another example, I know a woman who is working as a principle for a school in a village in Manipur. She hardly gets to visit the school because of lack of attendance of both the students and the teachers alike. So it is convenient for her to not put any effort to into the infrastructure and enjoy her salary. But instead, what I have urged her to do is to take this as an opportunity to bring changes into the lives of the children in the village. My dream for her is to encourage the teachers and inspire them to come to work which is going to happen if she starts doing so herself.<br />
<br />
Life is short. So why live it just for yourself? If you have been given opportunities to touch the lives of other people, go ahead. Run the extra mile. In the end, your money is not going to the grave with you, but your good name will. To tell yourself you are not in the power to make any changes in the society, you are only fooling yourself. Every human breathing and moving around has something to offer to the other being.<br />
<br />
I'd like to address another issue here. I have always been ultra active in all societies I am a part of. The Mizo welfare societies, the students union, the church body, the youth fellowships and the likes, and I've been often asked why I get myself into all of this when the industry I have chosen to get into allows me no time to indulge in these. My answer has always been the same- like it or not, I've been born into this. And my service to these societies in the very small bit of roles I play even as a humble ordinary active member, I am contributing to the upliftment of societies. All of these small societies form to make a bigger one, and then a bigger one up unto <i>the society of humanity we are all a part of</i>.<br />
I could go on and write about how this is to be true, but I rest my case. The whole hearted participation you have in every little activity you do, added with a healthy amount of competition and grace to lift others along with yourself is the best formula to live life beyond yourself.<br />
<br />

Moving on, I have to have an outfit post along with deep rantings else it would not be my blog would it? <i>*grins* </i>This outfit was of a week ago in Guwahati for the Guwahati Mizo Welfare Association KΓ»t 2016. It was a last minute planned outfit. I up-cycled my old denim minis and stitched my leftover <i>puan ropui</i> scraps to extend the skirt. I added a nice eyelash lace to finish it and styled the look as contemporary as I could with accents of the tribal aesthetics. <i>Mizo thi hna</i> was my preferred jewellery and a weaved bag from my own "<b>Urban Tribe</b>" collection to accessorise the look.<br />

Can we ever have enough of the 1990s? I'm so glad I was born in the early '90s just enough to enjoy the undisturbed culture before the digital toys came around. That is just the icing, the cherry in the cake about being born in the '90s? You can actually flaunt the trending phase<b> <u><i>'90s kid</i></u></b> and not be lying to the fashion peeps :D<br />
<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
For this look I picked my favorite trend: <b>The Grunge</b>.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Trust me when I say this: this look was not planned. I wanted to experiment with my makeup to brush up my skills. I posted my step by step not-so-detailed tutorial on my Snapchat account. I had to revolve the outfit around my hair and make-up.</div>

My mom handed me down this lace and satin slip dress recently. Now that the '90s slip dress is back on trend, I always wanted to style it up. I wore my plaid printed chiffon button down shirt inside the slip, tied a knot to my dress to make it look less "night gown-y" and paired it up with my favorite <i>Zara</i> pair.<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I accessorized my look with chokers and layered them up, shocker. I know :P </div>

I am no expert in the make-up department, but I love experimenting. I find make-up to be one of the most creative form of art a woman can learn. It is all about creating an identity by highlighting the parts of you you want to flaunt and expressing your mood with it. Gone are the days when make-up was used to "beautify" a face. I feel the concept has become much more. It has become a platform for an artist to play with. The fact is, no one should feel the need to beautify one's face and everyone should be allowed to express themselves in whatever form they wish to. Unless they are disturbing others' peace, of course.<br />
<br />
Here is a few tips for whoever want to carry off dark lips:<br />
<br />
1. <i><b>Keep the skin flawless</b></i>: The first and foremost rule is to make sure the base of your makeup, i.e. your skin is evenly surfaced and evenly toned. Else, your look would turn all patchy.<br />
<br />
2. <b><i>Balance</i></b>: Do not darken the shadow too much, instead go for a thicker brow than usual. That way the thickness in the level of your face would be balanced.<br />
<br />
3. <b><i>Highlight</i></b>: There are a few parts of your face you should never forget highlighting: The tip of the nose, eyebrow line, the cheekbone and the outer line of your lips. This will also make your lip look fuller and plumper. This step works for every makeup look but is especially important for dark lips.<br />

I clicked my own pictures here because I believe in self efficiency. Haha kidding. I am at home now free lancing and working for a show I'm taking part of. So, I don't exactly have professional photographers around me. I hope you forgive me for the quality in the pictures. For what it's worth, I tried being creative in editing them. *grins*<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
The love for clothes and all things fashion that the <i>Mizo</i> folks have is no hidden secret. The new generation of fashion enthusiasts in Mizoram have slowly but surely learnt the value of <i>couture</i> (French for sewing), which is why the boutique culture has been emerging in rates higher than ever. Designers have come up from all over the state, especially in Aizawl. Most of these designers have attended designing courses in fashion institutions across the country while there are also good many of them who have developed the skill out of pure interest and practice over the years.<br />
<br />
It is not that the entire stitching culture is new here. In fact every other household in Mizoram have an aunt or two who knows how to stitch. The unavailability of ready-made garments and economic limitations have resulted in mothers stitching their daughters dresses for every occasion. My mom stitched every Christmas dress of mine when I was younger. She even stitched some of my school uniform skirts, and the best part is, she is a civil engineer by profession!<br />
<br />
So as time went by and professions became diverse, people hardly had the time to stitch their own clothes. However, the need for new clothes not only still existed but also increased with the improvement in the economic conditions of people. The church culture has a lot to do with it. Almost all the churches in Mizoram discourage "western" style of clothing for church mass and encourages the traditional "<i>puan</i>" for adult women and "appropriate" dresses for younger girls. The traditional <i>puan</i> is a wrap around skirt and so an upper blouse is mandatory. This need for a blouse/top to go with the <i>puan</i> is what generates 80% (according to my theoretical survey) of the boutique culture.<br />
<br />
The designers in Aizawl cater to blouses and dresses for church affairs. Wedding trousseau is a grand bonus and a big market for them. Recently, the youth in Aizawl have started popularizing the party culture where events by different organisations have became a great deal and so designers are booked with orders for gowns and dresses for such occasions.<br />
<br />
On my recent visit to Aizawl, I had the opportunity to interact with some of the most celebrated designers of the small fashionable town thanks to <i>Sang Chawngthu</i>, a dear friend, who volunteered to drive me around in her scooty (best mode of transport for Aizawl). Her social skills came handy as she was familiar with almost all of them making it easier for me to strike a conversation(Thank you!)<br />
<br />
Here is a list of some of the must-visit boutiques/stores of the town:<br />
<br />
<br />
<a name='more'></a><h3 style="text-align: left;">
<b><span style="background-color: white; color: #45818e;">Teremi Ralte</span></b> </h3>
<h4 style="text-align: left;">
C-17,18, second floor, Millennium Center.</h4>
<h4 style="text-align: left;">
Timing: 10am-6pm, Monday to Saturday.</h4>
<h4 style="text-align: left;">
Price Range: Rs. 1800-2500 </h4>
<h4 style="text-align: left;">
Clientele: Mizo Singers Amtea, DJ Lalvenhimi, singer and designer Henry Varte, ace photographer Jeremy Hauhnar among many others. </h4>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
There is a reason why Teremi has a long list of Mizo celebrities as her clients. Apart from her <i>haute couture</i> like detailed clothing, she is a charmer herself. She is encouraging as a person and is extremely down to earth.<br />
<br />
She opened her store in MC, Mizoram's only mall, on the first of July 2013. In 2015, she started her own institution for fashion called Teremi Institute of Fashion Designing (TIFD). TIFD has had a fashion show and plans to continue organizing shows annually. She is now gradually inclining towards kidswear and hopes to make her mark in the market for it.<br />

<div>
<span style="color: #45818e;">Clientele: Apart from regular loyal customers, Gospel singers like Rebecca Saimawii, Mimi Renthlei, Stacy and Rosy K. Remsangpuii.</span></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<span style="font-weight: normal;">Muanpuii Chinzah is a household designer name. She was there before all the "new kids in the block" came around. She opened her first boutique way back in October 2008, and now owns a second store as well.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-weight: normal;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-weight: normal;">Her designs are very subtle and well thought of. Her experience shows in the way she handles every design and its detailing. I love it that she put some illustration of hers as a decor making her space very personal. Muanpuii Chinzah is one designer who will always have her loyal customers waiting for her in the line in-spite of her busy schedule.</span></div>

Hannah Khiangte needs no introduction to A-city fellas. She has been one of the top rated designers that ever emerged here. She has found her niche market among the elite classes and have her own loyal customers. The Indian Runway Week show has been covered in my blog earlier <a href="http://mawipuiloves.blogspot.in/2016/04/india-runway-week-hannah-khiangte.html" target="_blank">here</a>. </div>

Her store says a lot about the market she owns. It is chic, minimal, clean, very spacious but homely at the same time. She opened the boutique back in September 2013. Now she plans to open an online store later this year. Here's wishing her team the best!</div>

Most of the affluent designers do not design from fabrics other then their own. They take pride in the uniqueness of their own source and maintain a certain style for that matter.<br />
<br />
Apart from all of these designers some of the most notable ones I visited are Afaki Hauhnar, POZ by Papari in Mission veng thlang and Fifteen in Millenium Center. All of them are worth consulting and getting clothes designed and stitched. In Aizawl every other person is so keen on what they want, visiting any designer would suffice. The quality of stitch is almost all the same. The fabrics and embellishments are all there is that makes the difference. Of course, every designer have their own USP so knowing whom to go for for a certain event is the key. If you are new to it, contact me! Let me help you out. Although I'm not a citizen of Aizawl I do have very close knit friends there and all of these designers have become very good acquaintances. I'd be happy to help you out!<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
NOTE: My post consists of only the boutiques I could visit on my very short trip to Aizawl. There are definitely more designers out there but there is only so much I could cover. I do hope to cover them up for you next time :)</div>

Hi peeps! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It's been a long time since I last wrote, not just here but anywhere about anything at all.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Life had brought so many ups and downs after NIFT life. I'm back home in Guwahati now and will be here until something pops up elsewhere. I miss Delhi dearly. The most recent activity I got hooked to there before I came home was photo walks. </div>

I've been lucky to have encountered friends who have so much passion. Passion for photography and art; passion for life itself. I have friends who give their all in all they do and perform. Every moment being with them is a learning experience. Their passion is contagious.</div>

I went for a very girly-sporty look. Luckily for me, my outfit coordinated with all the places we visited that day *grins*. A very comfortable white button down shirt with light weight denim overalls. My Nike shoes and pink baseball cap made the whole look what it is. I am in love with the reflector shades I'm seen flaunting here. It has been my go-to-accessory for the summer.<br />

After four years of dedicated days in the labs of the department our hard work paid off. We, the class of 2016, finally got over with our days in India's best fashion institute- NIFT, New Delhi. We had an official graduation exhibition on the 28th of May in the Stainless Gallery in Okhla (will be posting about this soon). We are expecting to fly off our graduation caps later this year.<br />
<br />
My collection reflects my personality developed within these years. I've realized my love for street fashion: fashion of the people and my beliefs in popularizing the traditional for the youth. Do let me know what your take is :)<br />

The new India is all about juxtaposition of cultures. That is what I wanted to focus for my Indian term project done a year ago. The new India is young, hip, traditional yet contemporary. I created a <i>lehenga choli</i> for the contemporary Indian women for occasional events using different authentic fabrics: the<i> ikat </i>fabric from Andhra Pradesh, the mirrorwork embroidery from Gujarat and cotton denim. </div>

I styled the look with a neckpiece I used here as a <i>maang tikka</i>, or a headgear from Paharganj to give it a boho vibe. The makeup is done classic. And my model looks stunning, doing justice to my garment cent percent. Thank you Pricilla :)<br />
