We were both a part of a week long residency with different artists. (I highly recommend <a href="#">BHX</a> for all those looking to meet their tribe) I was following her work before I met her and I am always a little hesitant to meet artists whose work I really admire so that I can view their work without attaching any opinion about the artist themselves. But I am so glad I met her, spent couple of days having the most easy and powerful conversations. I love her work even more now that I know her as a person. </div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">Sudeepti Tucker is an independent artist and illustrator with practices in New Delhi and Bangalore. Creating in both analog and digital mediums, her work explores themes of nature, expression and femininity while opening up dialogues about roots, identity and image. </div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">At first glance, her work is powerful, bold and a riot of beautiful colours. Her strong design identity and an eye for details are a delight to see. I got to chance to watch her work in those mornings in Kohima and there is something so calming about her when she is illustrating. In the past couple of years I have seen her work become more internal, personal and vulnerable. Through a combination of lyrical written word and <a href="#">illustrations/mark making</a> she is sharing her experiences, learnings and questions that are incredibly moving. </div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div> <div style="text-align: left;">Sudeepti says one of the warmest compliment she has received is when she was told that she dresses like one of her painting. I think that captures the colourful personality that she has. Having grown up in Delhi, Sudeepti has always found cottons and comfort as a necessity. Having contemplated with a sense of identity with fashion during her NID days, she later started thinking about her own voice in design that reflected in her clothing choices. With comfort being key, she loves colours, pattern and has a keen eye for vintage clothing. </div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div> <div style="text-align: left;">The last two years has been a quite a journey for a lot of artists and Sudeepti has seen a shift in her relationship with art as well. Like many artists whose identity get tied with their work, she has learnt that one cannot create for social media platforms where art is competing with puppy videos and that artists cannot be thinking or judging their art based on likes and shares. She has been focusing on the process and not the final product. We also share a new-found love for pottery! She has been learning hand building and it is fascinating to see her exploring another form and still have a distinctive voice in design and I cannot wait to see all the beautiful art that she is gonna make and witness her beautiful journey. </div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div> <div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: times;"><br /></span></div><div style="background-color: white;

line-height: normal; margin: 0px; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: times;">The art of making things by hand always fascinated me. Even though my work involves making things everyday, nothing had prepared me to the connection of clay, hands and the mind. </span></p>
<p style="font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: times;">When I signed up for pottery, there were many feelings involved. Questioning If I will be good at it, If it is something that I will like when I get to actually do it and it proved to be more than anything I could have hoped for. Through this I found a quiet, calm guide who is taking me through the world of pottery. Aastha Sahal, a potter, instructor and designer. she is calm and an extremely kind instructor at Claystation, Bangalore. </span></p>
<p style="font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 14px; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: times;"><br /></span></p>
<p style="font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: times;">Aastha chose to study ceramics and glass in IICD by happenstance. Her curiosity led her to ceramics and took it up with a warm thought of how she loved ‘Gili mitti ki Khushboo’. She then went on to do a course in Golden Bridge, Pondicherry. </span></p>
<p style="font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 14px; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: times;"><br /></span></p>
<p style="font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: times;">Growing up in Jaipur, craft has been a major part of her life. There are lanes named after each craft in Jaipur but the craft is so blended with everyday living that she didn’t really absorb and understand what it involved until she started working with artisans. </span></p>
<p style="font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 14px; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: times;"><br /></span></p>
<p style="font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: times;">In class, she keeps reminding us that each one of us have our own pace of learning and we shouldn’t be too hard on ourselves. This constant assurance really helps when you are struggling to centre the clay even after 4 weeks of trying to get it right. </span></p>
<p style="font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 14px; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: times;"><br /></span></p>
<p style="font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: times;">Her stories of struggle and slow learning, though hard to believe If you see how beautiful it is to see her on the wheel, inspires us and keeps us going. She says her biggest learning working with this medium has been patience and detachment to the products that you make and I am just so glad she is passing that wisdom. </span></p>
<p style="font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 14px; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: times;"><br /></span></p>
<p style="font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: times;">The new collection - <a href="https://www.doridesigns.in/collections/earth-song" target="_blank">Earth song</a>, has been inspired by my learnings of working with clay and Aastha has played a huge role in this journey and having her wear the dress from the collection only make it a happy full circle moment. </span></p>

Hitha is an actor, dancer and so much more. Daughter of the loveliest couple who have made a huge mark in TV and theatre, Hitha has been carving her own mark for years now. </div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">I first reached out to her couple of years ago to share some of our designs that she could use as a part of her wardrobe and she surprised us by also wearing the dress to an award show. That came as a pleasant surprise to us. We have always seen the most elaborate dresses being worn on the red carpets and shows, I absolutely adored the fact that Hitha chose to wear a handwoven dress in the midst of all the glitz. It also brought in awareness of my own conditioning of how I look at the clothes I make and the possibilities when you have an ally like Hitha. </div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">When we met, it was like meeting an old friend. She is effortless in front of the camera and behind it. We had a long chat about personal style. She shared her memories of her mother styling and dressing her like Karisma Kapoor from Dil toh pagal hai, the influence movies had growing up and how it has become a part of her life. It is always fascinating to know the root of how someones childhood affects their personal style. We are all carrying stories of our experiences through what we wear, whether we realise it or not.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">My takeaway from the meeting was her clarity with what she wanted and how she is unapologetically herself. She shared the lessons she had to learn that comes with being very vocal on social media, how we need to adapt and make it our own.We at Dori tend to talk about new releases and then go a little quiet. I guess we do get overwhelmed with all the demand for creating new content consistently. This conversation with Hitha resonated like Austin Kleon's <a href="https://austinkleon.com/show-your-work/" target="_blank">book</a> that had made a huge dent in how I personally perceive social media and this has really made me rethink how I would like to engage with it.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">Running a small business can be very isolating especially if you do not run a physical store. But having friends like Hitha and so many others who are always open to supporting handwovens and artisans brightens our day!</div><div style="text-align: left;">We hope this is only the beginning of a long friendship. </div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">A special shout out to Arvind for the gorgeous pictures.

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"><i>The non-festive,
festive edit. </i><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">Do you remember
the first time you picked an outfit for yourself? Chose what to wear for an occasion?
When do we make the transition from our mother dressing us up to making our own
choices? Clothes are such an important part of our personality. It has been a
way of communication since the beginning of civilization. It’s beautiful how fashion
is a part of a collective society and yet so personal. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">How many
times do we feel unlike ourselves during festivities? We are made to wear ‘festive’
clothes. Bright and mostly heavy. Some are naturally inclined to it and some
just aren’t. And some of us who naturally don’t take to a lot of shine and
bling but want to dress for a special occasion are left with very less options.
Thus, the festive edit. Even though we call it festive edit because these are a
little heavier than what we usually do, I personally like to refer to it as the
non-festive, festive edit. It is great that our country is so diverse and we
celebrate life. We enjoy our culture and embrace it. We also need to understand
that only wearing ethnic clothes isn’t equivalent to representing.
Understanding our beautiful craft, appreciating the artisans, loving the
community and representing is more important and speaks much more about our
roots. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The last week of April saw a rush of brands talking about 'who made your clothes', sustainable clothing, artisanal support, and calling for the much required fashion revolution. What is this fashion revolution? Why are influencers, consumers and the industry itself talking about it? It has been 5 years since the Rana Plaza disaster, which brought in a huge awareness about the status of the industry today, but it was only the tip of the iceberg. The more people started exploring the functionality of the garment industries, the effect fast fashion has had on the people and the planet itself, we realised that it is a much bigger issue. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The fashion industry is a 2.4 trillion dollar global industry which employs over 50 million people all over the world. It is the second highest polluting industry only next to oil. It has been accounted for modern day slavery and lack of transparency in its sourcing/production process. Yes, the numbers are overwhelming. It almost makes it surreal as it is difficult to comprehend a disaster in such numbers. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
India has been one of the biggest exporters of textiles and garments. Due to high skilled cheap labour, the garment industry is one of the biggest industries in India. However, how much are we aware about the status of the workers in these industries? Is the cotton farmer paid fairly for his hard work? Are the workers payed as per the standards? Is the work environment safe? Do the employees take the responsibility of the well being of the workers? Are the workers being trained in a useful skill or are they being made into machine feeders? A way to start a revolution I think is to just ask questions. We need to know that people who make our clothes are not suffering because of it. We need to know that they are not over working for us to buy cheaper fashion. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
These facts and numbers are not just overwhelming for a consumer but also puts a huge sense of responsibility on the small brands of the country. We started Dori almost 4 years ago with an aim to celebrate Indian textiles. Through this journey we have not only realised our purpose as a brand but also our responsibility. We have always wanted to put the artisans on the front line. They are the makers, the ones saving the craft. Over the 4 years and about 10 design collections for women and men, we are proud to say that we have only used handwovens, hand embroidered and ethically sourced fabrics in every single design. We credit all our makers including the weavers, the NGO KaiKrafts whom we work with for embroidery and our production team. We love to talk about them and our process of design. The extra fabrics left over form the production are given to designers/brands/recyclers. The designs are made keeping the sustainability and wearability in mind. We have been committed to the process and to our belief system. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Even though we have been sincere in our efforts, we do find ourselves asking if we are doing enough. If anything we are doing is bringing in a substantial change in the artists' life. Are we even making a tiny difference in this enormous industry? Its a constant dilemma. We affirm ourselves in the small things. When we visit and talk to the artisans. It makes our day and pushes us to do more when a client writes to us. Makes us realise we are all capable of bringing in change. It might be an extra fund they got for education, to be able to afford basic necessities in their lives or just a contagious smile. No matter how small our steps are, they are still significant. </div>

<i>Handwoven, natural dyed and crafted with love.</i></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
A collection is always a designer's personal expression. Yes, there is always a theme and concept which is worked around. But I believe that an artist's piece of heart is in the work he does. Had a long urge to work with natural dyed, handwoven cotton. Being a personal favourite, natural cotton feels home. It feels easy, subtle and warm. It becomes your favourite skin to be in, even if it is years old. This collection is fuss free. It's slow and easy. Subtle and sublime. It's a reminder for us to pause and breathe. Lets stop the glorification of busy. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
This collection is a contrast to our work previously. But our focus is the same. The fabrics are woven by the women in Charaka. They are ethically made with a lot of effort. They are then designed and hand crafted by us. The capsule collection is now available online.</div>
<div>

A huge thank you to my incredible person who makes this happen again and again, <a href="http://www.behance.net/arvindsridhar">Arvind Sridhar</a> who makes our clothes come alive! Rakshitha for being our muse and our super intern Sanjana for all the assistance. </div>

A stunning visual is always a culmination of hard work of a group of people behind the scenes. A vision shared by a set of creative people. During my time as a designer I have had the pleasure of working with some of the best. Romi is one of them- the makeup artist extraordinaire. </div>
<div dir="auto" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: small;">
<br /></div>
<div dir="auto" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: small;">
Romi, originally from Manipur, is hair and make up artist based in Bangalore. After a small chat she told me that she worked for an MNC for a short while in Hyderabad. After feeling like living a double life, she needed to express herself as a transwoman. She learnt the art of makeup hands on and she has never looked back since. She is not only extremely good at her job, she is also kind and patient. What inspires us is her hard work. I have never seen her deny any kind of work that comes her way. She's never hesitant about exuberantly early shoot times. She is always high on energy and up to put her best forward. Everyday she gets up with the goal to better herself. She wants to be counted among the best in the world, looking at her, we don't think that it will be too long before we see that happen.</div>
<div dir="auto" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: small;">
<br /></div>
<div dir="auto" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: small;">
Makeup artists are not given as much of an importance as they should be. They are not just to make the model look good, but also cater to the vision of the designer. Working with Romi is a pleasure! An artist to artist. Person to person. </div>

Dori has always been about introducing Indian textiles and
its stories to the younger generation. And its always special when they are
your source of inspiration. The second in our series of DoriLoves is Raksha
Yadalam. All of 20, set to conquer the
world. I have personally known her five years, I have seen her from being to
teenager to this confident young woman, learning business and excelling in her
studies as well as being a co-founder of a social startup- Food for thought. Having
had the idea struck her in one of the family holidays, she started Food for
thought with her best friend, Vishaka. Food for thought is a social startup
which provides food for the under privileged kids and helps them learn skills
which would enable them to make revenue in the future. It is not just donation
of food that they are mainly aimed at but also in giving the children the
experience that they can dream of. Their Diwali drive had them teaching kids to
make candles, they have gone to watch movies, to restaurants where they could
order anything off the menu, the experiences which the kids will always be fond
of. Raksha and Vishaka are involved to the fullest in the activities. They are
not just looking for donors and enterprises and get help from, they are also on
site, cooking food, leading the drives and talking to the kids and bringing a
smile on their face. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The younger days, the college years, are mostly focused on
one’s self and their future. Hardly do we come by anyone who wants to get down
and do something for others. The conviction and hard work it takes does not
come easy when there are so many distractions. DoriLoves the humility and the
drive to give back to the society that Raksha has. With time, It will only grow
and we can’t wait to see her be a boss and conquer the world! </div>

Aarabi is a dancer, graceful and touring the world. She is the mom to an adorable boy and an adopted fur baby. She has a community of women who lift each other and inspire! She has been blogging about her life, her views on chai and cake and parenting! She has also been speaking up for independent brands who are working for handwovens and sustainable fashion. Her love for handlooms and handicrafts are evident to all those who follow her. She is the much needed voice in the handloom community, even though she denies she is fashionable, we all dig her effortless style. She makes comfort look good!</div>

Sustainability in design is what we believe in. We want our clothes to be worn again. To be worn in different ways, on different occasion. We don't want to be a one off. This is what we try to achieve in every design we make. The slip dresses from this collection are being loved because they are easy to wear. They look sharp and feel even better. Handwovens have been very niche. They are categorized for a certain age group or for a certain occasion. But we see a revolution in the making. We are seeing brands working hard with artisans, we are seeing bloggers and influencers trying to make a conscious change. It's a wonderful time to be fighting for what we believe in. It's time and we are proud to be a part of this storm.<br />

<i><b>Reviving handwovens. Restyling Ilkal, Reconnecting roots.</b></i><br />
<br />
This has been our goal since the time we started Dori. We don't follow the rules. We don't let ourselves be carried away by the trends. We believe that our designs shouldn't be just for a season. It is not a fad. We want our designs to be worn and styled in different ways through out the year and then again. A lot of our pieces are separates and can be a part of diverse wardrobe. This collection too has its share of minimal ensembles. Inspired by the 60's, slip dresses make a minimal statement. They are timeless! With Ilkal handwovens and classy silhouettes, how can we go wrong? We have also introduced handwoven cotton in the vest and would love to know what you think about them. All the pieces are now available in our webstore. We are also planning on a pop-up in Bangalore soon! Looking forward to what you have to say about the new collection. Shop, share, love.<br />
<br />
Designing is just one part of the collection. Visually presenting it is a whole new challenge all together! A big shout out to<a href="http://www.behance.net/arvindsridhar" target="_blank"> Arvind Sridhar</a> who not only takes stunning pictures but also makes Dori what it is today. Niriksha, our glam model for bringing her infectious energy and for being such a sport. And to the wonderful friends who are always looking out for us. Thank you!<br />

<i>Organic. Sustainable. Fair trade.</i></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
When the lovely founders of Ethic attic approached me to design their first collection, it struck all the right chords. The entire collection is made of fair trade organic cotton. Organic fabrics are made from fibres which are grown without using any chemical fertilisers or pesticides. Less CO2 emission and considerably less water consumption. They are not only friendlier to the skin but also gentle to the environment. This was our first time working with organic fabrics and we were excited to say the least. The entire collection includes contemporary silhouettes made from Organic cotton, eri silk and Lotus fabric. Working with these fabrics were a delight. They are perfect for a designer to experiment with. They have an amazing feel and texture. The lotus fabric, which is a new innovation in the textile industry, felt like luxury. Made from the stem of the flower, they have a beautiful texture and is amazing against the skin.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
We decided to keep the collection minimal. With just white and greys as our colour theme and geometric block prints as our medium, this collection is minimal but with a hint of hidden detailing. Comprising of separates, the designs are made keeping the sustainability as a key element. Classic silhouettes, fair trade organic cotton and luxurious lotus, what is not to love! </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
The collection is now available for sale on their website and we would love to hear from you. </div>

When I interact with clients as a designer, the first thing they talk about is which part of their body they dislike. What they want to hide. They never try different cuts or silhouettes because in their mind, they are too thin or too fat or out of shape. And I always wonder why are we so constrained about our bodies. Why are we always talking about what we don't like about ourself. Of course, nobody is perfect. The idea of perfection is itself a scam. And in the world which keeps telling you how to look and what to wear, it takes time to come in terms with ourself and the way we are. It's a process we should all embrace. Let's learn to be kind. Kind to ourselves first then to one another. Don't fall prey to trends. Just wear what <i>you</i> love. Wear it when <i>you</i> feel like. Celebrate <i>you</i>.<br />

Why is it that we conform ourselves to a certain type of jewellery and clothing when it comes to ethnic dressing? Ethnic has become synonym with gold and bling. We feel like we have to dress a certain way to blend in, to feel like we belong. But for wallflowers like us, there are hardly any options out there in which we feel ourselves.

skirt. It is an unconventional take on the overdone pairing of crop top-skirt. It is easy and minimal. Accessories is from a brand which makes jewellry with real pressed flowers! What a delightful way to pair the handwovens. They are all handmade with lots of care and love. We can find our way out of the blingy clutter, all we need to do is look closer. </div>

Designing for men has been on our list for a long, long
time. As a designer it is very challenging to design for men. The limitations,
the structure are difficult to apprehend the first time. We were also on the
lookout for the fabric we wanted to work with. It definitely had to be
handwoven and ethically made. Recently we were introduced to Malkha. Malkha is
fabric woven in Telangana, it is natural dyed with indigo, hand-spun and
handwoven. The texture of the fabric is raw and organic. The fabric gets softer
and better with wash and wear, which is perfect for men’s clothing. The first
set of designs are in classic silhouettes with little detailing in them. We
named the men’s line <i>Su’i, </i>which is
Hindi for needle as a counterpart to Dori. </div>

The blog was started two years ago, with the intention to
present it from the designers point of view. Straight from the makers. We
wanted to show you the work that goes behind the making of each designs. The
story from the weaver’s house, the glimpse of process of yarn to fabric,
fabrics taking form and finding home. Our whole purpose has been to make
handwovens a part of your wardrobe and thus the outfit posts featuring Dori and
the many different ways an ensemble can be styled. A message coming through
which says they appreciate the effort and the work we are doing is what keeps
us going</div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
You have been gracious and loving with Dori and the blog and
we can’t thank you enough. We have been procrastinating a little, but we
promise we are working on new concepts and ideas which we will be showcasing
soon. We are having a pop-up show soon and have a surprise for you! Do follow

And with this collection that is what we are looking forward to. These designs were first showcased in Ethical fashion show in Berlin. A trade show which features ethically made and sustainable fashion all over the world. It was exciting and nerve wracking to say the least. Its amazing to see this side of the fashion industry thriving and expanding and not limiting itself to a nihe market. The response to Dori was heart warming. Its only encouraging to see people from across cultures being interested and appreciative about our work and it's craft. We hope to rise from here. To represent our craft and skill. </span></span></span><span style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.32px;">Travel and tell our stories to the world.</span><br />

<br />
It is such a pleasure watching someone you have admired for long, grow up and take up a cause which is close to your heart. I have always been a big Harry Potter fan and watching Emma Watson grow up to be such a role model is truly inspiring. Emma recently wore a gown at an high fashion event which was completely made out of recyclable waste. The gown was made out of three different parts which could also be styled and re-worn in different ways. This is not only a huge fashion statement but also speaks volumes about sustainable fashion.<br />
<br />
We find it easier to buy clothes which are of less price and even lesser quality as we are sure that it will be a part of our wardrobe only for a little while. And as a result, brands take it upon them to make more quantity for cheaper prices by exploiting the workers in inhumane conditions in the industry. It is not only exploiting humans but also the damage caused to environment in the production process we should be concerned about.<br />
<br />
We now have many brands who consciously make beautiful clothes, ethically produced and are kind towards the environment. Conscious buying is what we have to focus on. Buy clothes, even if they are a little highly priced, which are made of classic silhouettes and the ones you are sure of wearing multiple times. We might not be a hollywood star, but we can sure make a difference, one buy at a time.<br />

We have all been in that phase where we wear extremely uncomfortable clothes just because it looks good and we feel we can go through it for a couple of hours. Be it that size small dress you picked up at the sale or those ridiculously good looking high heels. We have all done that before and will continue to do that in the name of fashion. But as a designer I wouldn't want those who wear my clothes to be uncomfortable in them. Its not only important to make silhouettes which look good but also those which are comfortable. Personally, I am leaning on clothes which are comfortable and not fitted. And these are reflecting in my designs as well. the box dress from the latest collection is one of my favourites. This simple handwoven Ilkal in bright colour is extremely comfortable and fuss free. I have come to believe that there is nothing that doesn't suit certain 'body types'. Anyone can carry off anything as long it reflects their personality. And this dress is perfect for everyone this Summer. </div>

India has been a hotspot of brands all over the world for garment industry. The skilled labor available here in developing countries is much cheaper than in developed countries. The competition in the industry is so high that some run 24/7. There are unrealistic expectations to be met. Unprecedented harm done to the environment and workers exploited to the extremes. Workers are made to work extra shifts. There is no place to stretch in the place they work in. Health care is obsolete and so is ethics. Workers put in their sweat and blood to make those mass produced clothes, and yet we question and think twice before buying from a small brand who are paying fair wages to the artisans. We don't think twice before picking up a T-shirt from a known brand in a mall but argue twice while buying a handcrafted design in a flea market. Garment industry has to exist. It provides employment for thousands of people in our country, but the workers have the right to be treated ethically, to be paid fair wages and to work in a safe environment. Next time you go shopping, think and stop to see if those brands support ethical fashion or just made by sweatshops in developing countries.<br />
<br />
When I started Dori, I always wanted it to be affordable and in a price range which you don't have to break the bank for. It turned out to be quite a challenge to maintain that. The fabric being completely handwoven and hand embroidered it is very important for us as a brand to make sure that the artisans who put their heart into their work to get fair wages and healthy environment to work in. Dori is made by hand with lots of care and love. They are made by people and not by factories.<br />

<span class="lr_dct_ph"><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif-light, sans-serif;">Reinvent. Reawaken. Revive. These are the words every designer thrives for. This is how artists evolve. By thriving to be better, to constantly innovate, to reinvent. But there is always a quiet debate about reinventing when it comes to traditions, in this case traditional craft. Some traditional artisans who are working on their craft from generations believe that there shouldn't be any changes in the methods or materials of making the product. Some even believe even a slight change is impossible. And then there are some who constantly innovate with designs, with whatever exposure they have. As designers working with traditional handlooms which have been done the same way for decades is quite challenging. For Dori, we maintain the traditions. The weaving technique, the exclusive border are all the same. Including the embroidery designs. They are geometrical temple designs which are being done from many, many years. Our way of reinventing is through silhouettes. It not only shows the weaves in a new light but also opens up a world of chances. This Dungaree is one of those chances. </span></span></span></div>

Adorned Tales- This collection comprising made of the colours of the sun, has been the most special one. I almost feel that about every collection, but perhaps this one has taught me a lot. This collection taught me to keep reinventing myself. It led me back to my college notes. It taught me to experiment more. It taught me to make some rules and break them.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I was inspired by the uninhibited silhouettes of the past and how beautifully draped everything was. Our ancestors were much more experimental than we are. It was more of comfort and how the fabric feels against the skin. It was much more intimate. Through this collection I have tried to blend in the modern with the old, silhouette wise. This square cut top is one of them. They move beautifully and the peeking ilkal borders add to the charm.</div>

It takes one through time when weaving was done for the love of it. To be adorned in softness. When the art was thriving and considered sacred. Nostalgia strikes and the soul wanders to the era when silhouette was for comfort and function and uninhibited. When the adorning was for the soul. </div>

Inspired by the uninhibited silhouette of the old and reviving soul of the new, this collection aims at blending the two in the rich colours of Ilkal. Believing that the one succeeds at revival when the tales are told through the weaves, transcending time, finds home next to one's skin. </div>
