JOSH GORAYA Started his Career in 2006 while he worked under Rohit Gandhi + Rahul khanna.

Launched his first collection in year 2011.

An exclusive interview with Josh Goraya about his new Collection and about his world of Designing.

JOSH GORAYA is a brand which is primarily concerned with the technical & functional aspect of the garment more than the decorative part. We respect the idea of clothing solving the human purpose in most basic manner, which works as a base/ groundwork for further design additions. We respect classic tailoring practices and excited about the youth and future at the same time.

His featured collection of FW 14/15 is inspired by the label’s core philosophy and a brainwave which was generated at the very beginning when the label’s operations had just started.

It’s a his belief which implies that “fashion is not only about

red carpets and high profile gatherings, in fact the precise identity of fashion is what you see on the streets every day.”

The candidness in everyone’s daily attires is what defines fashion in its true sense. The collection is an ingenious outcome of the motivational thought which is certainly not anything else but, ‘STREETS ARE COOLER THAN RUNWAY’.

Designing for Josh Goraya,

14

since childhood he had a strong inclination towards arts and craft which built up his base. And, then in later years his love for dressing up and exploring fabrics for his own wardrobe helped him make up his mind about fashion.

For him the core means,“If you have a strong, creative and an authentic/ honest core than you are sorted. After that you just have to follow the steps, ideas and work will keep flowing on its own. Conceptualizing a collection for fashion week is a gradual process.”

When asked from Mr Goraya How much it mean to him to present at Fashion Week?

His motivation/inspiration

“I’ve been attending fashion weeks

since early 2006 so, the atmosphere and methods is something that I’m pretty familiar with. But, the experience of participating in such an event as an independent label and getting your own space at such a platform was definitely enthralling and proved to be a good fun filled learning experience. Presenting a collection at fashion week requires or I’d say revolves around a strong base idea, I call it ‘THE CORE’.”

“My work is encouraged by discreet sexuality and masculine tailoring. It’s the contradiction between uprising youth culture and undying classics which motivates me ,concerned with constant search, timelessness and longevity.”

Do we see you coming in North America anytime soon?

Yes, definitely. Would love to visit and explore New York and Toronto.

“

I feel style is like a constant change, a never ending pursuit of vanity. It’s modern nature is to be inherently contradictory and that’s what makes it such a striking phenomena.

”

His message for readers just venturing in designing world...

I think it’s very important for one to take time & decide what one wants to opt for. Often only after taking the initiative or after taking the plunge, they start discovering their personal styles or USP or how they can differentiate their labels from the others.

This is something which even I struggled with when I started. So that’s one exercise one should do before taking the plunge, before going mainstream.

“One shouldn’t rush, is what I am trying to say. Figure out what you are good with, find your strong points, work on them, polish them, be prepared & then take the initiative or the plunge.”

wills fashion week designer

SURBI SHEKHAR

“

Style is an attitude, it makes everything that you wear your own without even trying. Everyone should have one and it should keep evolving.

Surbhi Shekhar became an alumnus of NIFT (National Institute of Fashion Technology), Bangalore, before working with an English Designer of international repute. Later Surbhi started her own namesake label “SURBHI*SHEKHAR” almost a year ago in New Delhi. Surbi hails from the holy city of Varanasi which gives her a different understanding of design being able to understand and appreciate two different worlds. While designning, she loves to incorporate her love of culture, music, art and vintage fashion into each collection, and give something fresh and edgy every season.

What does our new collection style speak about?

This season we roam this beautiful and imaginary realm, with spiritually infused designs. Darkness and desire sit at the heart of this beautiful tale.

This season is inspired by Fever Ray, the lead vocalist of The Knife.

22

”

It’s a spellbinding mix that evokes ritualistic visions of witchcraft.

The collection reveals wild worlds where myth and memory meet. A dark theme is made sophisticated with the use of beautiful fabrics, hand stitching and embroidery, and special attention to details. The use of lace brings elegance to the bold cuts. Small details even on insides of garment, brings mood and mystery to the aesthetic.

What made you get into designing?

fashion designers and I will try my level best to optimize the opportunity.

Design is my passion, I even dream about garments *Lol*. I had decided I will become a fashion designer when I was in sixth standard. It has always been my dream and now I am glad, it’s my profession.

Rescently I had been designing clothes for international market when I was working with my previous employer and American market is quite exciting. I have absolutely all the plans to sell my clothes there. So, I will definitely visit soon.

What does it mean to you to perform at Fashion Week?

I feel very honored and thrilled at getting selected as Gen Next designer at LFW. It is my first show, so there are butterflies flying in my stomach already but I am super excited. It’s a globally recognized platform for

What is your inspiration or motivation?

There are so many people from whom I get motivated. A lot of people are producing great work.

Seeing them and pushing myself to do better than yesterday is what keeps me on my toes to do better.

Do we see you coming in North America anytime soon?

Your words for people just venturing in designing?

You have to have the right attitude and should be ready to live, eat and breathe fashion.

Lets make someone Smile

Facial Palsy The term facial palsy generally refers to weakness of the facial muscles, mainly resulting from temporary or permanent damage to the facial nerve.

24

Belleza Moda Mag

When a facial nerve is either non-functioning or missing, the muscles in the face do not receive the necessary signals in order to function properly. This results in paralysis of the affected part of the face, which can affect movement of the eye(s) and/or the mouth, as well as other areas.

There are different degrees of facial paralysis: sometimes only the lower half of the face is affected, sometimes one whole side of the face is affected and in some cases both sides of the face are affected.

Bethan’s Story

Bethan before the accidentA car accident left Bethan, then 22, with a rare form of bilateral facial paralysis. Four years later, surgery is finally bringing her hope – and some of her confidence back.

My name is Bethan. Unfortunately the letter B is very hard for me to say due to my palsy. I live in rural Wales with my mum and I am now 26 years old. When I was 22 and in my first year at university, I had a nasty car accident which left me with bilateral facial palsy. This is when both sides of the face are paralysed.

‘I was like a small child and had to learn how to perform all basic functions again’ After 13 days in a coma, I woke up a different person. My head took all of the impact of the accident and I ended up with four fractures to my skull. I spent two months in hospital and another month in a brain rehabilitation unit. I couldn’t walk, talk, eat or understand what was going on around me. I was like a small child and had to learn how to perform all the basic functions again.

Pets- the final stress busters.

A long hard day at work and a happy wagging tail waiting for you to come back home.

Be it 2 hours, be it 8 hours, the happiness is un-matched and according to me, it just increases as time passes by.

So what is it that creates this bond, this love that we speak off.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the small things we do with our pet and for our pet that creates this affection. The 5 minutes of grooming, the 10 minutes of playing ball and a quick ride in the car and we have a doting pet at our doorstep. Here are a few aspects of dog care irrespective of breed and age that you can do in your free time.

PET SITTER: SHALAKA 26

eates aying t our breed

Belleza Moda Mag Pets yearn for play. And if it’s an unscheduled play, then nothing like it.

A quick run in the back yard, a couple of rounds of fetch in the garden, a quick game of hide and seek and you have a pet who comes back to you for more. Such activities stimulate the pets mentally as well as physically.

A sufficiently tired dog means, proper meals and a good night’s sleep. But do remember, while playing with a puppy, be very assertive.

A puppy play can very quickly become aggressive with a heightened sense of energy. Nipping, growling can very quickly become a part of play and this has to be controlled with immediate positive reinforcement A dog to be accepted in a social environment must follow certain rules or can be very quickly termed as un-friendly and aggressive. Though it is now a completely domesticated animal, dogs do have certain tendencies, like jumping to greet people, chewing, biting, chasing, and being possessive over food etc.

Such habits can make it difficult for a family when having guests over or while taking the pet out for a walk.

And here is where training steps in.

With training, we are teaching the pet to live with us harmoniously in a way that is socially acceptable to us. A good training session improves not only the bond being you and your pet but also establishes the alpha. Once the dog understands that you are the alpha, he or she will want to do all that pleases you and training then becomes a cake walk.

Training, thus, is a part of mental stimulation. Good communication, positive reinforcement and a great bond between you and your best four legged friend, what more could he ask for.

Brushing, teeth brushing, eye care may all seem like a lot on your hands… but they’re just a few more ways for you to bond with your

best buddy. Grooming today is not just about brushing your dog’s hair to take care of the shedding but it encompasses a whole lot more.

Today our pets are a part of our family and people are going to great lengths to make them comfortable.

Dog Grooming is one very important way of doing it. It is also one of your pooch’s basic need and an important part of pet ownership, pet care and pet maintenance. It may come to you as a surprise, but it does form your pet’s physiological and psychological health. A dog’s physical state does, to a certain extent, affects the way he feels and acts. Grooming as an activity also helps build an affectionate bond with the owners.

Check with your groomer and choose the right equipment to help maintain the coat on a daily basis.

Toys are a plenty available in today’s market for pets. They serve primarily 2 purposes- as a training tool between the human and the pet and secondly as an effective way of dealing with boredom when the pet is

all by himself. Toys should be chosen carefully for your pet. What age is your pet and what purpose is it going to solve are the two question you have to ask yourself. Broadly classified, there are teething toys, chew toys, fetch toys and interactive toys. Kong toys, which are primarily interactive toys, are very good when it comes to keeping your pet occupied. With puppies and adults, it provides good mental stimulation as well.

Quality time is the buzz word. Spend that extra 5 minutes with your pet and see what a world of difference it makes to him. Talk to you pet, tell him how your day was. This way he starts understanding your emotions and responds to you in a very different manner. While doing activities with him, focus on him.

Don’t multi-task. For example, while on a walk, keep your cell phone away.

Observe what he is doing, his body language and see how he responds to you. Take him for a joy ride in the car –just like that. This way, he associates the car to be fun and not just something which takes him to the vet.

PAWABELLA PET CLOTHING DESIGNER

ANGEL THOMAS, age 11, lives in Liverpool, UK with her mum and sisters. She is a young entrepreneur and has her own established business and brand in the UK called Pawabella. When she was 10, she launched her website and then in December 2013, Pawabella Pet boutique opened its doors. Angel is really passionate about animals and she is possibly the youngest shop owner in the UK. She is undoubtedly proud of her business which is now a registered trademark under her name.

Mission statement of Brand Pawabella is Happy Dog = Happy Owner, Happy Owner = Happy Dog. The team talked to Angel and wanted to know what her aspirations in life are and how her thought process as the youngest enterpreneur worked , when asked what she would like to be in future and what does she aim for - Angel replied “I would really like to be a Vet when

I am older and go to university, I have an older sister at university and I know it is very expensive so I wanted to find ways of raising money to save.”

28

How did you think of just starting your venture in Pet Boutique - “I had found some old dog clothes at home that we had bought for our dog; they were new and did not fit so I asked if I could sell them. After I had sold them I asked if I could get some more to sell, and then I came up with the idea of a Pet Boutique.

Belleza Moda Mag

Was your mum ok with you starting your own business - “ At first my

mum said it couldn’t be done as I was too young but eventually we found a shop that I could rent. In the beginning mum loaned me the money for the rent which I had to pay back.”

Why did you choose the name Pawabella and what does it mean : “I chose the name Pawabella, Paw – as animals have paws and abella – as it sounded good together also Abella is the name of a roman physician who taught medicine so it just seemed perfect to call it Pawabella.”

This season the brand is inspired by Harris Tweed and smart looking designs, Angel is making knitted scarfs and hats for the dogs owners to wear so that they can match.

Harris Tweed is amazing it comes in so many

colours and is really warm and looks really smart and expensive.

Angel adds on Pawabella doesn’t just specialize in products for dogs.

The brand tries thinking about the everyday lifestyle of the pet starting from dress any pets Angel personally finds it easy to design for dogs as she has a dog herself.

There are so many amazing different products for dogs like shoes, hoodies, sun glasses called doggles and jewellery.

For Angel “Clothing for dogs is just so cute and people are really happy when they see a dog in a cute coat.

Also I think about practical reasons for dressing them like dogs walking on hot floors in the summer and small dogs that get really cold, big furry dogs that get really wet and can’t sit on the sofa for hours till they have dried.”

Her inspiration is her dog -Princess; Princess is a smooth Griffon Bruxellois. “

I love to design new clothes for herall the time.” I really enjoy

experimenting with different fabrics and styles.

“

Be imaginative and creative and dream up lots and lots of ideas, if you really want to do something don’t let your age stop you. If you have an idea start now if it’s fun keep doing it. If it doesn’t work there is lots of time as you get older to try lots of other things. Be a role model and be kind to people treat them as you would like to be treated.

”

29

Tell us something about your outlook towards the Fashion Shows - “I

like to go to fashion shows and I am really excited to announce that Pawabella Pet Boutique has just showcased at Liverpool Fashion Week last month (October 14).”

Liverpool Fashion Week - had so much encouragement and support from the team .

“It has been a major inspiration to me as I watched the Fashion Show last year and dreamed about seeing my pet fashion on the runway, I am really grateful to have had such an amazing experience.

Liverpool Fashion Week is the biggest fashion event outside of London in the UK last year it was featured in Vogue.

When we asked her how easy is for her to keep her self motivated , here is what she had to say : “It is really easy to keep motivated I love animals and like people to bring their dogs with them to Pawabella. When the dogs come in I get the experience of handling lots of different dogs by dressing them. I also get to practice my customer service skills as how I am with the owners is just as important.

This year I won the Awesome

Foundations under 19’s business competition for a project that I have started, for my project I make up hampers for homeless people with dogs on the streets, the hampers have a warm coat that I have made, dog food, dog toys, treats and travel bowls and travel water bottles.

Every time

I help someone it motivates me and makes me want to help more.”

Belleza Moda Mag

Angel believes the most important feature in designing a new product is how it might feel for the dog. “I want

dogs to be comfortable in my designs.”

Do you alter your designs ever .. Yes , I spend a lot of time altering my designs and when making them I have to consider which breed I am making them for. I manufacture a lot of my own items now as I have learnt to make patterns and use sewing machines.

Pawabella is now stocked in several locations so I have to constantly make sure the quality is really good.

When asked if not found busy working where is she found- I also like to inspire other

people to start their own business. I often get invited as a guest speaker to conferences, business events, business start-up groups and schools, when I

attend events I sometimes do a small presentation about my business.

My mission statement for Pawabella is Happy Dog = Happy Owner, Happy Owner = Happy Dog. As a young entrepreneur she uses social media a lot,- “Twitter is my

favourite I have so many amazing followers from all over the world.

I even have famous people who follow me and buy my products for their dogs.”

Places the young Entrepreneur would really like to visit :

“I would really like to visit the United States one day and see all the beautiful pet boutiques and meet Ellen DeGreneres and Kelly Osbourne, I would like to design dog coats for their dogs.”

Angel likes to : To hang out at Chio Couture, Chio is a fashion designer “I go to her studio and show her my designs and learn how to sew on her different machines, she is always there to help me when I am struggling to make a design work. “ To play Minecraft, Ice skating, camping and also spending time with my friends.

To travel and spend a lot of my time with my mum as she don’t have a dad.

can get pretty sweaty so also don’t forget to bring a small towel so you don’t sprinkle everywhere.

6. Eat light before class! It’s not a good idea to do practice with an empty stomach because at the end of the day, you may start feeling light headed as the body and mind requires fuel. If you want to eat a quick snack before the class, you can grab yogurt, fruit or vegetables. A lightly filled stomach will provide you a better edge to get into some poses, and give you the energy you need.

7. It is extremely important for silence when participating in the class. Maintaining silence in the room is difficult when someone’s cell is ringing—plus it’s distracting for your fellow yogis. Be mindful of the other students sharing their love and energy with you.

8. The last and most important tip I feel is essential for your first class is to just breathe through it all, be happy and embrace your practice to the best you can make it. And remember to always acknowledge yourself, beautiful being, for completing your class, the first step is always showing up.

When you’re new, the scene at a yoga studio can feel

intimidating! Everyone is at a different level of practice in class, and that is what is beautiful about yoga, so go on take a breath and enjoy your practice!

INTERSTELLAR

For close to a decade, every new Christopher Nolan film is a cinematic phenomenon. While the successive Dark

Knights of his resuscitated Batman franchise have ventured into pit-black ethical and moral conundrums under his pen and lens, his non superhero narratives are more interesting at having grappled with meditations as varied as memory (Memento), illusions (The Prestige), dreams (Inception) all the while as his chief male characters grappled with the loss of their selves or their loved ones, or both.

Interstellar continues this tradition of pivoting its plot and Nolan-trademark editing-and-writing gymnastics around a grieving, longing Chief Male Character. He is placed within a future dystopia where planet Earth is close-to-choked by an inexplicable dust blight and as any out-of-service NASA cosmonaut who has to turn into a single dad and farmer in the American South would be understandably enticed to, pounces at the chance to spearhead a mission of flying an experimental spacecraft into an opening within a black hole to a triumvirate of possibly-habitable planets with a bank of preserved embryos.

Akin to Nolan’s earlier works, there is an admirable symmetry seeked in the sequence of events unfolding on screen and the contrivances of the larger meditation.

Here, to mirror the rules of time-space bending

64

in tesseracts, the open endings of the first act are conveniently closed in the final act and much to the relief of a viewer punch-drunk on Nolan’s last few works where the meditations meant ceaseless butchering of chronology of events on screen, there is much relief that other than the final “fold”, for most part Interstellar plays out in a linear fashion leading to a better emotional investment into the father-daughter bond at its core. It also comes front-loaded with lesser rules than Inception, Memento and the Prestige. That is, if you have more than a passing interest in quantum mechanics or astrophysics. For lesser mortals, one is advised to have their eyes and ears peeled for mid-spaceflight exposition dumps at unexplained intervals. At first viewing, reconciling with the increasingly impenetrable and sometimes interminable spiel about time-space dilation, wormholes, slingshots and somehow be invested in the visuals and the emotional journey of these troubled cosmonaut lot means the film feels more work than entertainment. Having a renowned astrophysicist on board has most probably ensured the scientific rigour but with every new injection of new space flying rules and mission changes, the story haemorrhages its vigour.

The scientific accuracy, hailed by most of Interstellar aficionados, is of a rarefied sort too. For a film priding itself on detail down to getting the number of a spaceship’s revolutions right before showing a shot of astronauts unsteady with vertigo, a nod to the conditions in real life, has an offhanded approach at deciding the core product of the mission at hand: of delivering frozen embryos. Some lip service to genetic diversity aside, the presumption that one would be greeted with the same primordial soup and atmosphere that would ensure anything close to life for the shipped isolated embryos is as ill-thought a premise as the physics is over-thought.

Once again, in his now trademark glibness, Mr Nolan decides the boundaries of where science starts and speculation begins and that, like his earlier films, comes with it’s own frustrations.

The largest crimes however is not over-hedging the bets on one scientific stream, but the sacrifice of that basic tenet of all decent films: storytelling that holds a viewer’s interest. Interstellar, despite sparks of intellectual inspiration, has not got the emotional heft to sustain its three hours. The lead weight script reduces this potential star filled with meticulously constructed intergalactic wonder and admirable meditation on slowed-time into a black dwarf.

NIGHTCRAWLER

With Nightcrawler, the younger of the Gilroy screenwriter-maverick brothers makes a sensational directing debut with the film as auteur-seeming as his sibling’s 2007 outing Michael Clayton.

In this crime thriller, we are made to track Lou Bloom, a down-and-out unemployed Los Angeles young man who spots his Big Chance as a freelancing photographer with a potential to make big bucks by selling shot footage of grisly crime scenes to the highest bidding news agency.

How he skyrockets from a wet-behind-the-ears novice at all-things-journalistic to an ethically dubious footage-churning mean machine forms the core dramatic magnet.

The beauty of Gilroy’s script is his ability to write and execute an empathic character piece within this format. Lou’s evolution into the daring colossus-witha-camcorder is as much a cinematic ode to all the auto-didacts out there who spend every spare minute subsumed in bettering themselves, as it is a piece-bypiece “origins” story of an ice-blooded sociopath. It is hard not to admire the meticulousness, daring and sheer focus with which Lou responds to the growing needs and pressures of his job while at the same time being petrified of his increasingly dangerous choices with the rise in stakes. His autistic turns at responding to all things social with an instruction manual recitation, absorbed no doubt from one of the hundreds of online courses he has dutifully sat through, is in equal parts endearing and scary. Gyllenhall’s virtuoso inhabitation of this character’s skin is so beguiling that I found myself worryingly rooting for this chap’s purely for his fiendish personal agency; overlooking the gross tonal, and later, ethical misfires. One sees that he has grabbed that faint ray of opportunity with both hands, and by dedicating to the grit, the graft and insane risk of his adopted gonzo vocation, created a haven adamantly his own chewing all competition, all scenery. He deserves all the perks coming his way, and what’s more he is proving functional

in a way the world around him wants him to.

Neatly layered on this remarkable character study is the somewhat overdone yet forever relevant sociocultural context which both sprouts Lou’s frustration and later his employment: the unresolved socio-economic burden of the increasing jobless youth bungled by decades of maladministration and the stomach-churning culture of paranoia-feeding media vis-a-vis the twenty four hour news cycle. Redolent for more than two decades with the growth and growth of media conglomerates, the resorting to the lowest common audio-visual denominator to grab eyeballs and drive profits creating preposterous jobs –like the one Bloom comes to inhabitwas a sorry reminder of our times.

Playing almost like the verbose cousin of that 2011 mood piece Drive, much of this articulate film’s triumph rests on the leading man’s dazzling rendition and debutante film-maker who has his two fingers: one firmly on the pulse and the other on the temple of the viewer. Both richly deserve all the accolades coming their way for this bravura film.

5 films advised for those who liked Nightcrawler Drive (2011) Collateral (2004) End of Watch (2012) Training Day (2001) Michael Clayton (2007)

Meet bobble, a stylish and very smart way to make every drop of water you drink better. Bobble is a fun, reusable bottle that filters water as you drink.

When water passes through the ingenious carbon filter, chlorine is removed from ordinary tap water; makes water taste better, and crisp and clean. Bobble is a beautiful alternative to single-serve plastic water bottles, which harm the earth (and your wallet).

Each replaceable bobble filter equates to 300 singleserve bottles. After 1 year, you alone have removed thousands of bottles from the environment, simply by filtering the water from your tap. Bobble is BPA free, and free of Pthalates and PVC. So, DRINK UP!

Wadala Tower

Belleza Moda Mag Wadala tower is the tallest mix-use tower in the world, designed by world renowned architect James Law of James Law Cybertecture International.

Wadala Tower is a 21st century ultra-futuristic “Cybertecture” skyscraper situated in the heart of India. The design concept of this super highrise tower is driven by a strong image of Indian Snakes. The tower targets to serve a diverse group of potential clients with the provision of shopping mall, services apartment, hotel and office use with 360 degree of breathtaking view. The avant-garde design is not only aim to be the best mix-use tower in India, but is targeted to be a landmark and the best building in the world.!

aesthetic purposes only but also helps to reduce the heat gain of the tower.

The dynamic composition of the diagrid façade system is inspired by the various skin textures and pattern of snakes. Different size and density of the diagrid create a magnificent layering visual effect.

Overall structural frame is like the bone of snakes where there is a core with sub-structure. This structural scheme allows an open plan configuration by providing completely column free office spaces.

The 1000m tower is a dynamic twisting form generated by twisting floor plates. Each floor plate is rotated slightly at 5 degree continuously upwards in order to create the dynamic and fluidity of the tower. On the other hand, large and luxurious terraces are also created by the rotating floor plates.

The stepped terraces are the best place on world for extraordinary views and social interaction.

Although the skyscraper is the tallest in the world, its proportion is made to be slender and elegant through a series of sophisticated and thoughtful design processes. The tower can be conceived as a whole regardless of different uses as the twisting shopping mall is merged into the tower part, which is completely different from the conventional highrise building where podium and the tower usually did not match with each other.

Wadala Tower is targeted to be one of the most environmental friendly towers. With the provision of greenery, wind turbines and waterfall, a sustainable environment for apartment residents, hotel users and office workers is introduced. A vertical urban forest is created by the twisting terraces with massive amount of vegetation which could reduce carbon emissions. External wind turbines are installed on every 5 floors which help to generate renewable energy, which could be used as backup energy.

A grand waterfall along the core is not just for

SPECIAL FEATURE “Cybertecture” Egg-like forms are located at the upper part of tower which allows flexible uses such as clubhouse, restaurant and conference hall etc. This special designed space is a symbol of identity for residents, office workers and even visitors of this ultra-futuristic tower. The egg would glow in light like a gem in the darkness, which is another highlight of the tower.

It’s signature crown still provides an effective means for changing the hour while its hidden e-ink screen shows off the vivid color bands with exceptional definition, ultimately maintaining an analog aspect while also providing a longer battery life.

In the Era of Spotify, Songza, 7digital and other companies where the music can be changed anytime anywhere with any technology handy to you , just how your mood changes every minute/every hour.

Being a DJ and a musician is still very competitive in our present generation, where some might just take DJing as a part time hobby but it takes a lot to be one successful dj or to make your mark in this career.

While the DJ’s still compete with the upcoming technology our team of Belleza Moda found the one of the upcoming Dj’s O2SRK and asked them about their lifestyle and what made them get where they are.

The brothers. Shrikant (aka O2) and Suryakant (aka SRK), hailing from a small town in Central India. Shrikant is a Computer’s graduate whereas Suryakant is an Electronic’s graduate.

“We always felt that small town boys can also dream big. We worked hard to ensure music is being achieved with perfection.”

The name of DJ brothers specifically does not have a meaning but yes they wanted to be known as a unique entity, as O2 & SRK or just O2SRK. When asked who inspires them , they answered - There are several artists by whom we get inspired by everyday. But at the time we were kids, DJ Nasha’s Flute fantasy was something which caught our ears. Also an international artist would be Armin Van Burren a great producer and an amazing individual we have looked up to him since 2007 for progressive trance. His glory to success is unbelievable. We actively follow Daft Punk as they

have been awarded a Grammy and their music is wicked to be followed.

Few songs they recommend people to always have in their iPod are: Burn it to the ground - Nickelback Lose yourself to dance - Daft punk Sun and moon - Above and Beyond Sathiya - A R rehman Teri Diwani - Kailash Kher Daddy da Cash (Remix) - RDB / T Pain / O2SRK Ek baat - Adhar Chowhan To keep yourself updated with their new remixed tracks follow them : www.o2srk.com www.facebook.com/o2srk

Some Facts about Deejay’s : DID YOU KNOW: There are different types of DJ’s starting from Radio DJs to club DJs and Mobile DJs. The world’s first radio disc jockey was Ray Newby, of Stockton, California.

In 1927, Christopher Stone became the first radio announcer and programmer in the United Kingdom, on the BBC radio station.

In 1935, American radio commentator Walter Winchell coined the term “disc jockey”.

In 1943, Jimmy Savile launched the world’s first DJ dance party by playing jazz records in the upstairs function room of the Loyal Order of Ancient Shepherds in Otley, England.

Christopher, whose label is called HOUSE OF BORGEZIE, has worked in the heart of the Jewellery Quarter for more than 20 years.

INTRODUCES - DIAMOND STILETTOS The Borgezie diamond encrusted princess constellation stilettos in solid platinum and 18kt gold. The diamond encrusted princess constellation stilettos are the ultimate in feminine adornment of sparkling diamond stiletto plinths that elevate any women to the status of a princess and the crown jewels of stilettos.

The stilettos are the work of British designer Christopher Michael Shellis, from Birmingham, who has created a host of similarly opulent creations.

The heel and sole are easily replaceable by the owner so that they last for ever, and Christopher is backing up his claim with a 1,000-year guarantee The diamond constellation stilettos are available in either solid platinum or luxurious 18kt gold. Entirely encrusted with 1,290 sparkling diamonds totalling 65 karats in diamond weight.

The diamond princess constellation stilettos are truly regal and created with the same skill and craftsmanship as any royal crown or tiara, and will elegantly deliver any princess including Cinderella to the ball. Designer Christopher Shellis at the House of Borgezie commented that occasionally in a designerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s or an artistâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s life there may come a moment in time when you stand back and realize you may just have created your finest work so far, and I think this is truly that moment.

As with all Borgezie creations the diamond princess constellations stilettos have been created to be a true world treasure, and like any royal crown are guaranteed to still be here in a thousand years time and is a testimony to the custodians who have owned them throughout time.

What made you be in the fashion designing world?

Fashion has been a part of my journey most of my life. I grew up being fascinated and dabbling with sketching and art. It was after I married into a family that owns a fashion house, Burlingtons in India that a whole workshop infrastructure fell into my lap. It was then that I went on to study at national institute of fashion design and progressed to launched my label Komal Sood in 2005. I believe in constantly updating and evolving and went on to hone my skills in Pattern Making and Fashion Marketing at Central Saint Martins , London in 2009.

What does presenting at fashion week mean to you?

I believe that fashion weeks are the most important platforms for showcasing and serious career development for a fashion designer. I have showcased my label since 2011 through Wills Lifestyle India Fashion Week and Lakeme Fashion Week and my brand growth has been multifold in the last 3 years.

Your motivational factor in life?

Both personally and professionally I believe in the motto- Stay Inspired.

Everyone in my life inspires me in spirit, for my collections, my mind is constantly observing and drawing inspiration from travelling, art, history, architecture nature and people.

Do we see you coming in North America anytime soon?

I would love to showcase at a Fashion Week in North America. It is a captive future market for our brand. We are researching options for our showcase and I take this opportunity to express that we are open to invitations from established fashion design councils that organize fashion weeks in North America for our showcase.

Your words for people just venturing in designing?

To create a story in you collection that is uniquely your own and believe in it.

Again I repeat , stay inspired and work on your evolution.
