MOOD BOARD SS’18

Youth Tonic focuses on the
idea that youthfulness is
no longer a state of being,
but a state of mind.
A hedonistic spirit that
celebrates all things
bright and colourful
underpins this direction.
For accessories, this results
in designs that embrace
offbeat juxtapositions,
one-of-a kind DIY designs;
and combination
of high-shine surfaces
such as satins with rainbow
colours, spray painted
treatments and shiny
embellishments.

COSTUME JEWELRY
To develop a jewellery collection following the current trend forecasts
and taking inspiration from the current moodboards

Tribal motifs are predominated by

triangles, and hence so are they in
my pieces. The materials used are
fabric, beads, cowrie shells,
threads, fabric paints and wires
to give the outer structure.

in continuity- straight towards outside and then incurved to form a convex encloser for
plants and a concave encloser for magazines, newspapers,etc. Half of the top has been
covered for the small things to be kept on table. Another alternative can be transparent
glass on the outer rim, while the inner rim left open for plant.
