Tillotama Shome Instagram – Voices of Urvashi Kaur A bunch of us came together  to celebrate 15 years of @urvashikaur   Like a flash of lightning Urvashi came into my life and then stayed.Far beyond the fashion world we found common ground with our fathers being in the armed forces and the life of constant moving and adapting. She trained in fashion in France. Her Nani is Prabhjot kaur , a renowned Punjabi poet , one of the literary greats of our country. Her first book was published in 1940 , at the age of 16. And her Nana , Narender pal singh was also a leading Punjabi novelist . He also published a bi monthly magazine called byword on international relations. Her mother is a wonderful artist , speaks fluent French and has navigated many adventures as she was a formidable partner to, Urvashi’s Father, who is a Former chief of the army staff of India. So you can well imagine my curiosity about every member of this gharana and their incredible stories!!! Meeting them numerous times made me understand Urvashi and over time we became friends. I wore her clothes often. Instagram followers, my viability in the industry, lack of work, PR…none of it mattered to her. So when she called, I showed UP.  We were later asked about inclusivity, sustainability etc etc… These words require a certain way of thinking, that can’t be conveniently put up right before a fashion show. They need to be cultivated over time, in how you treat people and things.  Urvashi is an energetic, tidal wave of talent and warmth that values people above all. The people who came together are people who like HER. Her clothes are non confirming and construct defying. We were dressed in what felt comfortable to each of us. During rehearsals Urvashi said:” You just be you. You don’t feel like walking- sit, you want to take off your shoes, do it. ” I took off the heels and wore my trusted boots . Bahut maza aaya with old friends and new to the beat of music by M Dubois!! You are amazing Urvashi. @lakmefashionwk @lakmeindia @nexaexperience @fdciofficial @r1se @reliancebrandsltd @jrmellocastro @eshwarlog @lubna.adam @martinduboismdub @dhfranklin @delnazd #UrvashiKaur #LakméFashionWeekxFDCI #LakméFashionWeek #LFWxFDC
