Parsi Times is delighted to share one of our community’s and nation’s topmost Fashion Designer – Ashdeen Lilaowala – featured in the ‘Designers at Home’ platform, a by-invitation series, hosted by thevoiceoffashion.com, where Indian fashion designers share their thoughts and creative ideas — fashion or otherwise — while working from home, in the midst of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.
The edition of Designers at Home dated 30th March, 2020, covers our very own Fashion guru, aficionado – the Community’s leading fashion designer – Ashdeen Lilaowala, as he ponders the past, inspired by his unique collection of decorative plates and vintage photographs of Parsi families.
Writes Ashdeen…
“While cleaning my kitchen shelves, I found old decorated plates that I have been collecting for years. Later that day, while shuffling through some old albums, I saw these sepia-tinted photos of Parsi families shot in photography studios.
It made me wonder.
Had these plates and people ever interacted?
Did they have any connections and history?
Maybe the people in the photos were at some point in possession of these objects.
Did these tangible objects have a glorious past?
What was their significance and their worth?
These days of isolation and pandemic make you challenge the very idea of continuity and permanence.”
