Sundar Gudiya Kaftan

DESIGNER NOTES

“Girls of every culture love dolls.  The Indian culture is not an exception.  I designed this to reflect the many traditional garments worn by Indian women.  The sari is worn for anything from casual outings to affairs such as weddings.  The suits are modern garments created to be more functional and comfortable. The lenghas were created to be more of a fashion trend for young girls.  While designing this print, I thought of my cousins who were allowed to have long hair that they braided and tied in a ribbon.  Something I longed to do!  I also included the traditional tikka as it signifies a special occasion. This print is a modern interpretation of the traditional Indian doll. I hope this inspires our girls to grow up to obtain their dreams and ambitions. “
