The fantasy maker
can't do the very simple. I don't believe in them and if I don't believe in them I can't do them, he says, when we meet him at his 10,000sq ft store at The Gallery on MG in Delhi. With a focus on making the label which he set up with brother TJ Singh a brand, the label has evolved with the sharpminded focus of a formal business, albeit with an aesthetic base that has its own deeppocketed takers.
Graduating out of NIFT in 1991, it took just a year for him to set up his label. With clothes unabashedly heavyduty in terms of embellishment, couture has always been the mainstay of Valaya and his brand, a majority of his business, as he admits. I believe in prt a lot. And at this point of time I really am keen that the look should be worn by a lot many more people. However, prt, he says, is a different kind of logistics.
though a lot of prt designers exist in India it's very important to get a critical number, a critical mass, to be able to get the numbers of prt, he says, prt only makes money if you sell in volume, unlike couture which is high value, low volume. A long way to go before corporate association with designers happens. Louis Vuitton was just a trunk maker in just a small shop. A Jimmy Choo was a little shoemaker in East London. All these became great brands when a huge corporate came in and took it on a business scale, Valaya points out.
Surprisingly, much before fashion happened, Valaya was training to be a chartered account; he articled with a chartered accountant for a year and a half before he decided that wasn't something he'd like doing.
you lead a life without following your heart's calling you've already lost the plot. I was very clear then. The way I work is, I can be very patient, I can be very logical about things, but if something my heart believes is not falling into sync I am also capable of taking a very strong decision and going a completely different way, which is what I did when I went into fashion. And thank God I took that decision! he ponders.
He also happened to see up close the legendary Rohit Khosla at work. was the first and only trainee, Valaya emphasises. me, Rohit kept a lot of assistants who worked with him on a monthly salary and all, but as a trainee I was his only one, and we had some great times. I truly believe he was the father of Indian fashion. The thing with him was, he had an effortless sense of style. People nowadays try too hard, that's not required.
infringement is a huge issue in fashion. It's a huge issue in design, per se. To beat that we created a signature pattern. So if somebody else tries to copy it and puts out a fake, I can take them to court because it's a registered pattern. Those are the little things that we have managed to achieve quite efficiently We work six to eight months every season to create a look. For those 20 minutes of a show we work that long, and then to see somebody else going and knocking it off blatantly, it's painful. of my biggest mistakes was to try and get into readytowear in a big way without keeping the volumes in mind, Valaya recalls. (While the Indian readytowear label, Quantum, was launched in 2006, Valaya Base, the international readytowear label launched in 2008.) couldn't achieve the numbers due to the limited stores. That was a lesson we learnt the hard way and now we're much better prepared and all set to expand dramatically. believe that the reality is the clothes, which one really has to buy and wear. But the projection of fashion is fantasy, and one has to take it to that level. It has to be grand, it has to be big. I can't have these little minimalistic sort of situations, he smiles.
In an illustrious career in fashion,[url=http://www.fcgeo.ca]cheap ugg boots[/url], moments that stand out are from before the big success set in. Valaya recalls receiving the Prix Incitation at a young international designers' competition in Paris, when he was still at NIFT (joining which he says was another landmark). of course, sent their delegate to get the trophy, not me, he grins.
Then there was his first commercial collection, a total washout. was the awardwinning student who came out of NIFT, so I was like, piece of cake, I'm going to make a collection and everybody is going to lap it up.' Nothing sold. Not one piece. I'm like my God! This is terrible'. But I got my wits about it, understood what the market wanted and moved forward. are some diktats in fashion. But, fortunately, I enjoy those diktats. My work gives me the freedom to do what I want and I think that way I'm very fortunate, because it really means I'm never working. I suppose market norms are as important as is the madness of being innovative. The two together create a sort of buzz For me, the most important thing is the creation of a brand. Today I'm 44, but someday I'll be much older and then the brand must go on. He remembers bartering something he owned for a friend's camera in his preNIFT days, soon turning into the family photographer He carried it to NIFT, where he shot his classmates' portraits. Then, fashion took over. Though around 10 years ago he gradually started clicking his own campaign images, the hobby has become more serious now. You like it, you hate it, it's your opinion; it doesn't matter to me, he says.
The WIFW finale this Sundaywill again be a testimony to the designer's characteristic palette progression starting off with monochromes, and colours getting warmer towards the end. start with no colour, and then end up with a lot of colour, which is life, na? It's how you look at it

The snow in the birth of the lamb

with bent legs fall fall run
nose heat
panting wet hail

cannot read the dawn after the stormOff season grass
Abba hands
not his rations
only the old sheep,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych].
it wants to
stubborn lamb fall fall run
regardless of wind and snow in the howling
it is looking for
green weeds and unknown col
there are bursts of flowers
and the healing herb
only to find
life will understand
it can hide in the hillside
smiling
stubborn lamb fall fall run
regardless

Because of this sad fact I really cried for a winter -- no matter how much I wanted to be with him, how much he love me, we can not be together! He to his responsibility, I to my faith. And then how we will not compromise, who will not go one step beyond...

Malaysia Airlines will cease to provide hotel accommodation for relatives of missing flight MH370 passengers by May 7, the airline said on Thursday.
The Malaysian flag carrier has provided hotel accommodation for relatives in a number of countries -- most of them in Malaysia and China -- where it provided them periodic updates on the situation since shortly after the flight mysteriously disappeared on March 8.
But relatives' tempers have repeatedly flared, particularly at the Lido Hotel in Beijing where Chinese families have regularly lashed out at officials from the Malaysian government and the airline over their inability to explain the plane's disappearance.
"Instead of staying in hotels, the families of MH370 are advised to receive information updates on the progress of the search and investigation and other support by Malaysia Airlines within the comfort of their own homes, with the support and care of their families and friends," the airline said in a statement.
