I Have Found The One Whom My Soul Loves !

Hi Guys!

It been sometime that i updated the blog, i was a bit caught up for obvious reasons! I had my wedding to prepare for.

It was a busy one month for me, but finally i'm married to the most beautiful girl i had ever known , my partner in crime with whom i had shared fun moments, ups & downs ... for 10 years. We had a great one month of family gatherings, dinners and customs to be part of. I feel really happy to share our wedding shoot with everybody, all the denim lovers & my dear friends. Wish both of us good luck.

Yes i will be back with my blogging very soon. Love you guys !

I would like to quote :

“You don’t marry one person; you marry three: the person you think they are, the person they are, and the person they are going to become as a result of being married to you.” Richard Needham

Cheers to all Denimoholics #jeanslovers #denimdudes #jeansmakers #indigolovers.

Meet India's Cool New Wave of Sustainable Chic Designers

I was going through my usual denim work & pinterest feeds when i stumbled upon this cool piece of patchwork bomber.

Perfectly & aesthetically thought and presented. I'm a huge fan of Japanese patchwork craft in denim and this piece just got me. One picture led to the others and i landed upon Stefan Siegel's NOTJUSTALABEL website where i saw more of their stuff and read some about them.

I come across a lot of susatainable clothing brands every day, everyone is doing a bit of their own to build a holistic approach towards fashion & clothing. This label 'DOODLAGE' caught my attention instantly, they are doing something i could associate myself with. This team of young souls from India have definitely hit the right spot.

Its really great to see a new wave of sustainable minded designers to kind of shifting their thought process & method from using and creating organic materials to really think into the life cycle of the fabrics, clothes. In todays world it becomes more important to think about reducing carbon footprints and the life of people involved in producing and making that particular piece of clothing. Its good to see these young minds are aware of creating positivity through their designs & products in every aspect of the process involved.

Their products look beautiful, perfect fashion oomph and great ethical and crafty touch to it. I would congratulate them and wish them the best on their journey and definitely would love to see more of their work in near future, absolutely beautiful.

This is how they define 'DOODLAGE' :

The label 'doodlage' is a blend of sustainable and exclusive high street fashion. We aim to merge innovative designs with sustainable technique of clothing to make fashion not just chic,but also Eco-friendly.We work at re-designing,re-constructing and re-cycling good quality second hand clothing and industrial waste.

"Its worth ripping your jeans."

"Getting this ´+ ´ style stitch might take some time to figure out, but once you do 1 , you are good to go, this stitch design is typical of the Japanese traditional patchwork method. "

" I used some denim shirt fabric for the mending, you could use any weight of denim as per your preference. Hold patch from both side so when you stitch it holds the fabric from inside as well as outside."

" Cut desired shape of patch fabric and place underneath the torn part and bind it using a good fabric glue."

" Rub the fresh patch with sandpaper to merge the textures with the body fabric so it looks more natural."

" When the stitch work & patches are sewn. You can sprinkle some bleach liquid at the edges of patch so to blend the tone of fresh fabric to the old denim body."
