DAZZLING DESIGNS
Archana Gupta created Dazzling Designs some 15 years back to showcase her handmade apparel and accessories along with hand-painted jewellery.
Her journey in fabric, fashion, and design started about 45 years back while sewing clothes for herself, friends, and family. The fine silks, cottons, and rayon fabrics she uses are exquisitely block printed, screen printed, hand tied-dyed or machine printed with traditional prints and motifs and procured from small crafters and women’s organization in India. She has transferred her talent, knowledge and inspiration in creating works of wearable art.
“I started painting when I was very young. The talent was enhanced with a graduation in Applied Arts and work experience in Graphic Design. I was inspired by India’s centuries-old art of hand painting on jewelry and metal called “Meenakari” and made it my own. Each of my hand-painted jewellery creations is one of a kind, unique, and vibrant. The high-quality colours I use are non-toxic and permanent. My rich Indian heritage is a constant source of creative ideas to fashion beautiful clothes and jewellery for everyone who is looking for unique and exquisite creations!” – Archana Gupta
