An unplanned Journey of a cherished Saree to a Beautiful Dress

I believe the best things happen when left unplanned. You do have to put a little effort to make it happen minus your fears of 'what ifs'.

Designing garments just happened to me. I did not plan it, only followed life's plan and put my best into it.

In 2007 I started my label ' KIM PEREIRA' wherein I designed beautiful ready-to-wear handwork embroidered wedding sarees. Mumbai gave me an opportunity to showcase these in various art galleries through which I made clients worldwide. For six years I only sold sarees. And let me tell you 'sarees' was something I had no clue about when I was learning fashion designing in Goa. I was trained in western wear.

Six years later I thought of meeting my old Mumbai clients and revamping their wardrobes. I am best at getting wonderful things done out of discarded things. Many of us have our cupboards full of clothes and sarees that we know we will not wear but still keep them as souvenirs. So I started digging all their hatching sarees that they love or have memories attached to (that they will not wear again for sure) and started converting them into anarkali dresses and lehenga cholis and western gowns. It is like getting a unique garment made just for you.

It is time you dig your wardrobes and let your sarees LIVE with a new look.

Rochelle Maria Rao - Femina Miss India International

Heartiest Congratulations to the beautiful Rochelle Maria Rao on winning the Miss India International title at the Pantaloons Femina Miss India 2012. All the very best and God Bless You. I met her for the Goa Navy Queen Pageant in Dec'11 as she was the emcee for the show; and she carried my saree so gracefully. She is a beautiful person and I wish her all the luck.

My New Love For Scarves and Rust Dyeing

Keeping this one for me. A pure satin soft flowy rust dyed scarf. I want to experiment, improve, and innovate. May be work around the theme 'From Rags To Riches' or maybe 'Broken Is B eautiful'. A little delay or wrong judgement of time can damage the fabric. But when did I care about being perfect. There is a lot of scope in imperfections. You can create and beautify the torn piece and make it a piece of art. And art need not be perfect rather it should just please your soul and make your heart ♥ happy. Right?

Monday Blues Can Be Pretty Too 😍

Blue Chiffon Lehenga Choli Mondayyyyyy...... a fun day,? Nahhhhh! Unless you are on a vacation mode. 🤪 But Monday badnaam hua kyun? Why do we detest Mondays. And, why do we make the colour blue look & feel so gloomy. It is a pretty colour no? Just like the clear blue sky that smiles at us during the day while providing infinite positive vibes. It is true we dread to face working Mondays after a chilled out Weekend. But darling at the end of the day Vitamin M is needed to clear all the bills. How about we wear a bright colour and start our week. Wearing a bright/dark shade of blue will make Mondays 💙 look cheerful. Try it! Designed this beautiful blue chiffon lehenga especially for those who love woven fabrics and simple cuts. You can wear this lehenga set minus the dupatta or with it. The kaftan blouse lining slip can be rolled to give a short inner blouse look depending on one's comfort. Howz it?
