Indian Textile summer, 1989.
In june and July 1989, before creating the brand Oduna in partnership, and long before le monde d’alba and mySeelk.com, i underwent a training in dyeing and printing textiles at Hyderabad, Andhra – Pradesh, India. It took place at the Weavers service Center, which welcomed me in the very lively shopping center of Hyderabad, one of the twin cities, Capital of Andhra-Pradesh. These Textile Centers were created by Gandhi, in order to promote handlooms, traditional textile skills of each part of India, cooperate with local textile companies, and redesign ancestral motives and their natural shades.
Andhra – Pradesh is known for its KalamKari work, its ikats , its block printed fabrics, its rich golden embroideries. Many years of partnership with local craftsmen and design studios followed this 2 months training. Most of my collections were created thank to them.
