Bhanu Athiya, the Oscar lady

Fashion designer Bhanu Athiya who won the Oscar for the best costume design for Sir Richard Attenborough’s “Gandhi” in 1983 has a repertoire of 150 films. She worked with noted filmmakers like Gurudath, Raj Kapoor, Ashutosh Gowarikar and international filmmakers like Conrad Rooks and Richard Attenborough.

  She started her career as a freelance fashion illustrator with various women’s magazines in Mumbai. She designed costumes for the first time in Gurudutt’s film CID, and then there was no looking back. She dressed Waheeda Rehman in Guide which was ionic. She won two national awards for Lekin and Lagaan.

She researches extensively and paying attention to details is her forte. It was a challenge designing the costumes of thousands of characters in ‘Gandhi’. The costumes of Gandhi played by Sir Benkingsley which he switches from western wear to traditional Kathiawadi outfit and finally to dhoti and shawl that endured him to masses. Detailed of Kasturba sarees from Chinese crepe with swiss velvet borders that she wears in South Africa for Khadi. She was a perfectionist in smallest of details like the one kasturba’s sari with the motif “M” which was there in the original photograph.

She turned author with “The art of costume design” in which she traced the evolution and detailing of the costumes in Indian films.

While recently 84^th Academy Awards are fresh in our minds, she is still only fashion designer who won the Oscar.

I hope we draw some inspiration from this great personality make our career worthwhile and rewarding.                                                                                 

                                                                                                          

Interior Design Introduction

Interior design is a multifaceted profession in which creative and technical solutions are applied within a structure to achieve a built interior environment. Designs are created in response to and coordinated with the building shell and acknowledge the physical location and social context of the project.

Each one of the spaces that you spend your time can make a significant difference to your joy and contentment with the designer’s creative and imaginative contribution. Every project needs to be a true collaboration with the client’s tastes, needs and budget firmly in mind. Interior Designers strive to maintain a balance between aesthetics and functionality with practical details carefully observed and orchestrated.
