Music of the blocks, Dance of the dyes

This book is about the 25 year journey of a designer and an entrepreneur Arati Monappa, in the world of textiles and fashion. It is a documentation of her journey using natural materials and traditional techniques that are timeless, and its implications for contemporary design. It also brings into focus Arati Monappa's creativity and entrepreneurship in building a label that stands for simplicity and classic style using natural fabrics, dyes and traditional block printing techniques.

By taking up design fundamentals and methods, it hopes to include in its audience, not only fashion designers but also those whose work in other fields has links with the garment industry, and readers who are simply fabric enthusiasts.
