A craft fair is going to be organized in Indian state Chennai this month from July 11 to July 13 by Craft Council of India (CCI). The venue of the fair is Kamla Craft Shop, Egmore. It will run for three days from 10 am to 7 pm during the days. Since women were more dependent on saris to choose blouse designs, the fair will bring their focus more on the blouse. That would be an excellent opportunity for women to check the blouse designs of several designers, as national and international fashion designers are going to take part in the fair.

Jayasri Samyukta Iyer is the board member in Craft Council of India (CCI). She said, “We are conducting such an event for the very first time as everybody is focussing on blouses. Women are trying out different drapes and looking for differently styled blouses.”

There were many events organized in famous stores about women clothing, including blouse designs, but this blouse fair will promote art, craft, and textiles. The idea of the fair is to show crafty weaving techniques of the designers. Since saris are very popular in south Indian states as compared to other states, it is a perfect location to grab the attention of women here.

There may be several blouse designs to see, including puff sleeves, satin brocade, one shoulder cape style, boat neck, fringes, brocade sweetheart, plunging neckline, back design, ruffle and slit at back blouse designs. All the designs would be available according to seasonal demands and in unstitched condition to increase the adaptability.

SPOTLIGHT: Sweet vinyl by DREAMOUR

What happens when two immensely talented visionaries come together to create elegance and ingenuity in a sculptural glass fragranced candle? Dreamour. That is the long and short version of how Dreamour was created. Founded by Karissa Rowe and Neal Klotsman in late September 2022, Dreamour was founded with the goal of creating a luxury fragrance brand that operates at the intersection of functional art in the candle market space.

Rowe, a Parsons School of Design graduate, set out to fill the niche of integrating design in the candle marketplace. Unlike most candle vessels that are mass-produced, Dreamour’s founders desired to prioritize the artisanal craftsmanship of glass in their production processes of the sculptural glass designs. This resulted in a long timeline of sourcing the globe for talented glass artisans who could transform a sketch into a functional and sophisticated candle vessel. Each and every candle vessel is hand-blown, inherently resulting in a one-of-a-kind product and unique experience for the consumer. These functional fragrant candles also act as a piece of décor due to its sculptural and alluring appearance.

Sweet Vinyl, Dreamour’s first candle scent, fills the room with musky & leathery notes combined with earthy notes of vetiver and cypriol, topped with a citrus touch of bergamot and mandarin. The founders worked with master perfumers in Grasse, France, to create a scent that invoked notes of memorable moments, emphasizing high quality ingredients in the fragrances in a soy wax blend. This resulted in candles that consist of clean ingredients, a vegan formula, and is entirely cruelty-free.

It is the personification of the glass blowers’ spirit, the heart of Grasse imprisoned in a bottle, and the narrative of two visionaries that sets Dreamour at the top of the candle market pedestal. Dreamour embodies the sophistication and savior-faire French perfumery as a luxury brand, while being a NYC based brand. Dreamour is currently stocked at Patron of the New in New York, along with other major designer luxury known brands. Rowe and Klotsman are currently expanding their production lines and will drop new fragrances and designs in early 2023. Don’t expect anything ordinary with Dreamour, as they will continue to bring a unique perspective to the marketplace of home fragrances.
