| Guarang Shah |
Sigh, another designer seen on the web, but didn't have a name. This time it's Gaurang Shah, and we have to admit it is love.
There are several reasons why you have to love Shah's designs: one, he works with "small" weavers; two, Shah actively preserves tradition; three, designs are simple and timeless, nothing extravagant, but well made; four, works with natural fibres (we have a bias for handlooms); five, currently has an exhibit of his sarees in India (ooooh, want to be in India right now to see the exhibit); six, mixes traditional with contemporary; seven, fearless use of colour, and finally, his muse is the Bollywood celebrity, Kirron Kher (not a size size zero and not under thirty).
How can you not love this designer?!? There are a few articles on the web about Shah, and it is quite an interesting read, especially for the fact he didn't go to school to be in fashion, but interior design! We will say that was a great switch on his part. As for the price point, well, as an English saying goes, "If you ask the price, you can't afford it."
