Nothing makes me happier than drinking well made coffee in a cheery mug first thing in the morning and then proceed to properly wake up! And I have had favorite mugs, right since, forever! What can I say, they make me happy!

When I was just looking around today, Circa Ceramics caught my eye. The designers behind Circa Ceramics, Andy Witt & Nancy Pizarro, know exactly how to lace color, fun and pop-culture onto functional pieces! I absolutely adore the pop images of skulls, bikes, hands, typewriters, chairs and more on their bowls, mugs etc!

Just take a look at some of my picks from their collection below. They are super fun!

Day 3: Risa By Abhijeet Khanna

Risa by Abhijeet Khanna, a collection, which was dominated by rich technicolor palette and a play on the flower motifs as well as jazzing up the classic argyle patterns! Some individual pieces worked really well, like, day dresses in deep reds, a dress in olive with metallic sheen to it, a simple dress with little floral detailing and short cropped jackets!

As for the others, not as much. The collection overall wasn’t just as impressive as other contendors had been. It seemed as if the designer got a little carried away with the whole ‘theme’ in its entirety, instead of interpretting it!

Am I being too tough? I think not.

Day 3: Rabani And Rakha

The collection put forth by Rabani and Rakha was exquisite and quite timeless. The color palette stayed dominated by creams, whites and beiges though they did have a sequence in black and another one with more metallic mauve’ish hues. My favorite in this collection had to be the saris. The intricate and often elaborate detailing and craftsmanship on those saris just pops at you. And the best part is, they are quite timeless in their appeal, so you know, when you buy something like this, its going to be around for a long, long time! Forget the saris, they even managed to pull of some long evening gowns with just the right amount of work, to give it, its healthy dose of chic! And that doesn’t happen everyday!

What happens when you throw pop-culture, drama, old-world-glam, new-world-modernism, and attitude into one melting pot? You get Prashant Verma’s collection, but of course!

The collection seemed fit for a starlet or a woman who walks into a room to own it! It had ‘Diva’ written all over it! The designs were bold, in your face and for no wallflower! It was innovative and kitschy at its best! I loved his play on classic lines of evening-wear!

I might not necessarily rush out to buy his clothes, but am sure as hell going to be enjoying them!

Gauri Bajoria’s collection titled Hiji Biji (Bengali phrase for ‘ haphazard’) was absolutely delightful. The collection was marked by colors that were all matte, muted, understated and almost candied variations of the original colors! The collection had a little bit of everything and radiated easy sophistication for daytime glam!

My favorites had to be the blue, green dress and the grey sari with the checkered border!

Nice.
