Photography by Santosh Chantyal Dear readers, So here is a glimpse of a shoot I did with street style photographer Santosh Channtyal. I was wearing a sheath dress with amazing abstract prints and the clutch is my personal favorite. Actually, there’s a funny encounter I would like to share with you guys. I was actually shopping randomly one day and I saw this beautiful purse. It was very minimal and pretty. It had this golden side exterior and woollen fabric wrapped on its body. I instantly fell in love with it. I am always looking for unique accessories to add to my collection and I felt like it went perfectly well with my wardrobe. But to my surprise it was defected as its lock was broken and it wouldn’t close. Without any hesitation, I bought it anyways because I could not let go of it. I know this is a materialistic item we are talking about here. But in life as well, we fall in love with imperfections so easily. I think there is so much of expressions and vitality hidden in every imperfect moments, things and people. Sometimes there’s beauty in defects and perfections in their imperfections. Life is beautiful just like that. From a purse to life quotes… I might have gone too far. Maybe its time for me to sign off but there’s more 2 My Style Diary Stay tuned. Love & Luck -A-

ECS LIVING May-June 2016 How did you feel after bagging the best gown? It felt great to be acknowledged for all the hard work and passion you’ve been putting on something you love. It just makes me happy to know that people are loving my work. What led you to choose this particular colors/textures for the gown? I am currently inspired by the regalities of different kinds of rich fabrics. The fabric I chose was a fish net, which was embellished with thread works, sequins, multi color beads and Nepali potes. I really wanted to play with a different color besides the regular ones. Aubergine is a color that is dark, powerful and full of desire. The silhouette was mermaid, which I think perfectly captivates the beauty of a woman’s body. Tell us about your other collections? Lately, for the last year and half I was very busy with my studio/workshop management and several other projects. While the projects are still ongoing I have tried to separate my time for some new collections. So hopefully you will see a lot of new ensembles from me. Designers that has inspired you to this feat? Being a designer myself I have my own style, method of working and ideas. So there wasn’t anyone in particular that inspired me. It was the elements and the occasion that inspired me more I guess. Besides Miss Nepal, tell us your participation in other major events? Well, this year I am working on a lot different entities and I can’t disclose them as they are all either in pipeline or not officially launched yet. But if you follow me in my instagram or Facebook, you will gradually hear the announcements J What is that separates you from the rest? I believe everyone is unique in their own ways. The fact that I am ‘me’, I have grown, evolved as a person, as an artist but I have never tried to be something I am not. I have always been creatively driven always motivated. So, my individualism and my vision is something that no one can take away from me. I think being yourself is what separates you from the rest. Give your insightful words to Asmee Shrestha for her future endeavors. I always have an amazing time designing for her. When I debuted my first collection back in 2012, she was the first model to walk on the ramp wearing Inspire. After that she won the face of Classic Diamond also wearing my design. So she and I share a very special bond. The most amazing thing about her is how grounded and genuine she is despite of being one of the most popular faces of Nepal. Now that she is our New Miss Nepal, I just want to wish her lots of love and luck at the miss World 2016.
