Daydream Distractions

Off to India tomorrow to work on the SS13 POPLIN collection. Packing my suitcase now with exquisite vintage pieces for inspiration, swatches of reference fabrics to help track down the softest cottons in India's incredible fabric markets, and to develop the prints that I have been dreaming about for months. 

Getting distracted by images of Jackie O looking serene despite the searing Indian heat.

Chai

Found (and pinched) this picture from the Nor Black Nor White blog. Friends of mine from Bombay, the girls behind Nor Black Nor White grew up in Canada and have been rediscovering their Indian roots via their bold, colourful fashion label- almost like fashion meets traditional craft meets anthropology. 

Missing India, and drinking spiced Indian chai in the fabric market, today. Can't wait for my trip in June!
