Aarti Verma's Wearable Art: a Designer Profile

I had promised you a trip to hip n' happening Mumbai this week and I'd like to end the week with Aarti Verma's gorgeous art. Aarti has been working as an art teacher for the past year (lucky students!) and has recently completed a course in fashion designing. Now she is all set to launch her career as a fashion designer and has recently started retailing within Mumbai. Here are some of her hip n' trendy creations...

Hand-painted totes.

Details. I love the retro vibe!!! Aren't they adorable!

Aarti blogs at Art Meets Fashion....it's so refreshing to see a fashion blog with Indian clothes...kurtas (tunics) and stuff that we don't see out here. I miss the colors and the simple street fashion of India.

Her gorgeous totes. All hand-painted!!!

Details of a kurta top! isn't that something?

Her designs are selling like hotcakes! No wonder!!!  :)

She also creates her unique line of jewelry.....hand-crafted ceramic pendants,

and rings.

I love this!! Her inimitable style....

A new venture.....gorgeous hand-painted cushions! Drool! I have a feeling we're going to be seeing a lot more of Aarti, don't you?  :)

Interested in some wearable art? You can reach Aarti at: blog, facebook. Go say hi to Aarti. Our young artists need all your encouragement!

Bon weekend, my lovelies...I'll see you Monday!
