There are so many unpublished posts that I'm in the process of
sharing with you and so many concepts on my mind that are waiting to see the
light of day. The self created pressure of accomplishing tasks, being creative
and fighting against the odds has been quite daunting, yet extremely
interesting and satisfying.
From appearing for medical entrance exams to studying
biotechnology to working in multi-national companies and starting something in
fashion and again going back to the corporate world, life has been a carousel
of sorts. But fashion is something I always keep coming back to. Maybe this is
where I belong. There is always an urge to come up with something new, to do
better than what I did yesterday. Compete with no one but myself. But sometimes
things get extremely challenging. As challenging as defying gravity with very
limited resources available around. And probably that's the reason why my work
gives me immense amount of satisfaction. I love the the fact that this space is
wholly solely under my control. Where money is not the driving factor, but
creativity is.
Talking about this story, this was my second project with
Nikkhil Bareli (after this one) and Kiara was the brand that came to my mind when Nikkhil
shared the idea of working on something like this. I instantly fell in love
with their jewelry when I first came across their Facebook page. Kiara is for the woman who is
elegant yet loves to explore her edgy side. For someone who loves to
create a ‘style statement’. Each piece is beautifully handcrafted with lot of
precision and is timeless so you can wear them on
different occasions for years together. If you're someone who
likes gold tones with a bit of quirkiness, Kiara is for you. This post is quite
different from the work I've done so far. It unveils a dark story which
portrays beauty in its crude form and I couldn’t have had a better brand to
feature to add the Midas touch to this story. Glad.
