Sunitha: thanks for your comments. I am going to incorporate more colours as I've mentioned in this post and an older one ("conforming to stand out"). I completely see what you are saying and you will see more colour in upcoming collections!

Hi Anaka,

I like this collection - and just a couple of thoughts I wanted to share with you - I really love your style and ideas and designs, but for the younger clientele, brighter and more vibrant colors would have more appeal, I feel. For example, the yellow and the navy blues are gorgeous, but I would love to see brighter (yet muted?!) shades of reds, oranges, greens and blues (even purple). I bought an orange/khakhi outfit set last year in Ikat and still love it. Hope to stop by next time I am in India. Keep up the great work!

You're really making a trip here just to shop at Brass Tacks?? I'm honoured!
Most of my inspiration comes from the fabric itself, although of late I've been paying more attention to customer feedback and thinking more about what I think will sell. The necessity to break even is possibly pushing me in the right direction :)

Anaka,
Visting your blog after a while and am totally in love with your new collection. I want to buy them all!
I'm making a trip to Madras just to shop at Brass Tacks. Really cool stuff.
Where do you get all your inspiration from????!!!

Thanks Ishrath. The shoot is really meant for Brass Tacks and the jewellery is meant to compliment the clothes rather than draw attention from it. If I had zoomed in to the jewellery then you might have seen less of the clothes!

Thanks Anu! We used a stem of Hanging Heliconias for the test shoot and it worked so beautifully because the stem was flexible and it was just right for the model's tiny waist. I tried hard to get that again for the real shoot but we had to make do wiring together regular Heliconias.

And Sophia thank you! That means a lot to me :)

Hi Anaka, From a buyer's perspective, I can tell you that this range will surely rock.

Keep up the good work...your hard work..

Wow, love the use of flowers. Esp. that bird of paradise around the waist.

Thanks Anrosh! The creative shots are more to convey a mood rather than show case the entire outfit, so for the sake of capturing more detail of the outfit and the flowers, these shots were close ups without the hemline. But the regular catalogue pics which will be up soon show the entire outfit.

you will tell us these are flying out the door. cheers -

this time we were not able to see where the hemline stands - was that kept deliberately out of the picture ?
