Anuj Sharma - Button Masala

I was invited to fashion designer Anuj Sharma's Button Masala workshop on Friday and found it as a huge inspiration for young upcoming designers. I even went home and made myself a couple of garments with his work as inspiration.

He explained to us how to apply the buttons to the fabrics and that's also how we saw the fabric change into a  garment and pattern by itself. He quoted himself as "a lazy designer" but told us that he learned something from his laziness. "Just like seams connect two garments together, so does buttons."

He uses this technique by placing the button underneath the fabric on the position you want it and then securing it with an elastic which immediately causes gathers and adds detail to a boring garment. 

One - hour trial

Here are some of the students in his clothes and us experimenting a bit.
