Evolving Style: From Studio Space to Home Base

Last fall, in our first Evolving Style feature, we took you inside the LA condo of new parents Stephanie Liu Hjelmeseth and her husband Kyle. Through a photo series showing off their previous and current homes, the pair walked us through each of the ways having a child had influenced their personal aesthetic. Overall, the evolution proved to be a masterclass on how to up the ante on practicality without losing your personal design identity.

In today's installment, we're revisiting a co-working space in Delhi, India. When we first peeked inside, Sarah Fotheringham and Maninder Singh, founders of textile brand Safomasi, shared the studio with three other companies whose styles and workflows varied greatly. While beautiful, the Delhi outpost held so many people that function often outshined form.

In the time since we first learned about the studio and the makers it held, all but Sarah and Maninder have moved on. Instead of doing the same, the pair has seized the opportunity, taken over the entire workshop and turned it into a combination live/work space. Seeing as they're now inside these four walls every hour of every day, they've had to make simple – yet impactful – changes to make it work. No matter the tweak, though, each one was born from a simple purpose: Promote productivity from nine to five and relaxation from five to nine. Scroll down to see how they did it, and enjoy! -Garrett

Sri Lankan style

WORDS BY ELIZABETH RUST; PHOTO BY PAUL STAFFORD

Mehala Ford has turned her 10-year self-discovery project into a thriving business in Dulwich Village: the Friday Sari Project.

It all started when she decided she wanted to learn something about her heritage. She was born in Sri Lanka and grew up in the UK but knew little about the country of her birth. “I didn’t know anything about my culture, except that it’s a nice place to go on holiday,” she says.

Then, after her daughter was born, she started wondering how she was going to pass on her family’s Sri Lankan cultural traditions. That’s when she decided that every Friday she would learn something new about south Asia, starting with how to wear a sari.

“The sari is synonymous with Asia, but I didn’t know how to wear one, so I told myself, ‘I’m Asian, I should know how to wear one!’ I then set myself the challenge to learn how to wear a sari in a different way on Fridays: my Friday Sari Project.”

Mehala followed the book, Saris: Tradition and Beyond, by Rta Kapur Chishti. This step-by-step guide has at least 108 ways of draping a sari.

Deciding to document the project on her blog, the first thing she needed to do was buy a sari. At the time she only had three saris in her wardrobe: a lilac one bought for her by her mother, a black silk one that was her mother’s from the 1980s and her wedding sari.

A simple sari, something cotton she could wear during the day, was what she needed to practise draping, so she headed to Whitechapel to find one.

After looking through all the beautiful, colourful saris with various prints and designs, she bought a black and white one with a geographic print – her first ever sari purchase.

After many Fridays of draping saris, she learned that a sari could be worn casually – not just for a wedding, as she had previously thought – but with a white T-shirt and trainers on the school run. That’s when she started becoming more interested in contemporary south Asian design. Soon followed the idea of opening a concept store where design from the Indian subcontinent could be celebrated.

Mehala had worked in the fashion industry for 20 years, specifically with emerging designers, and so she already understood how to navigate the fashion industry and foster talented creatives.

A pop-up spot in Dulwich Village soon became available, and she snapped up the opportunity to launch her concept store. The Friday Sari Project opened its doors in the summer of 2018, showcasing an array of fashion, photography, textiles and ceramics.

Since the Friday Sari Project’s opening there has been an exciting programme of events, including an evening with cookery writer Jasmine Hemsley and 2019 MasterChef quarter-finalist Ajay John. Ajay prepared a meal called At the Chef’s Table – a celebration of his favourite south Asian dishes, including a delicious potato and paneer kurma, Keralan mixed vegetable avial and Kadala curry.

An exhibition called Future Drape, curated by Mehala in association with Border & Fall’s The Sari Series, showcased future visions of sari styling and drape and featured drape installations, photography and a film screening of The Sari Series: An Anthology of Drape.

But could Mehala’s own personal project exploring her Sri Lankan culture interest anyone else? At first she wasn’t altogether sure the Friday Sari Project would be relevant to Dulwich – but the opposite soon proved to be the case.

Customers regularly come into the shop who are keen to share their stories about south Asia, she says. “Everyone who came in started telling me about their connection with that part of the world. I didn’t expect that at all.”

Every designer showcased in the Friday Sari Project space has been carefully curated by Mehala. Lovebirds, a contemporary womenswear label, was one of her first purchases. She likes this designer because she feels it’s very wearable.

“We talk to our customers about pieces that can be worn to the office and then worn for a night out,” she says – and Lovebirds is a very good example of these transitional pieces.

Their designs focus strongly on shape and form through clean silhouettes and architecturally inspired geometric details, like the vivid blue side pleat V-neck dress currently available in the shop.

NorBlack NorWhite is a colourful label with the aim of reinterpreting ancient Indian practices and textile design. An oversized checked and multicoloured button-down shirt has been popular, Mehala says.

NorBlack NorWhite was created by two Canadian women who moved to India in 2019 to discover their roots. The two went travelling across the country, where they were exposed to the many disappearing art forms and artisan communities.

NorBlack NorWhite was born out of their desire to reinterpret these ancient practices of textile design, while bringing together their worlds by mashing up their love for Michael Jackson, 90s R&B and all things old and gold.

Meanwhile Maus has designed the shop’s bestselling organic lounge trousers and T-shirts in various muted colours. “These are just lovely. I have quite a few of these,” Mehala says. Maus’s clothes are designed to be luxurious leisurewear made of organic cotton and jersey basics that can be worn every day.

Safomasi pillows adorn the modern seating area of the shop with colourful mint and white coconut palm trees. These contemporary prints are the result of the designers’ mix of cultures and influences observed and absorbed from their travels all over the world.

Every single product is handmade and totally unique, and tells the story of a journey through gorgeous colour combinations and distinct illustrative style, with the aim of bringing joy and a small part of their colourful world into your home.

These designers, along with all the others, are the reason Mehala’s customers have fallen in love with the concept store. Her careful curation of brands means that customers are truly only seeing the best of south Asian contemporary design.

“We found our customer. They tend to be a more mature customer, someone who understands design, is interested in textile and craftsmanship,” she says.

“Our customer is inquisitive, open-minded and appreciates what we’ve created.”

Many of these customers have found the Friday Sari Project either on their way to or from Dulwich Picture Gallery.

Inspired by the shop’s colourful, artistically designed window displays, they love how Mehala has created a space where south Asian design is celebrated.

“We’ve now been open just over a year, and we’re getting repeat customers because they know they’ve found something special,” she says.

Mehala likes to think of the shop as a place where people want to visit, a destination, but instead of having to travel to central London, it’s easily accessible to everyone in the surrounding community.

It’s a place of discovery, filled with beautiful pieces whose designers have been inspired by a place with thousands of years of rich history and heritage.

What started out as a personal Friday project really has turned into a local success story for many people to enjoy.

Estoy enamorada de Safomasi, la marca de Sarah Fotheringham y Maninder Singh desde Nueva Delhi en India. Creada en diciembre de 2012, hace poquito cumplieron 5 años como estudio de diseño textil, haciendo almohadones, acolchados, accesorios y productos para la casa estampados a mano o tejidos e inspirados en sus viajes alrededor del mundo. Esos quilts por favor! A los dos les encantaba el rubro de los homewares, y vieron que faltaban en el mercado productos divertidos y contemporáneos que tuvieran larga vida útil, lejos de modas o motivos demasiado tradicionales. Les dejo abajo el link a un video hermoso que hicieron hace unos años sobre su proceso de producción, y tanto ahí como en fotos muy viejas de su instagram se puede ver el patio del taller de serigrafía con el que trabajan con miles de schablones. Hicieron estampas de hasta 13 colores! Es hermoso ver de nuevo el proceso de estampado por metros y metros con schablones largos y de a dos personas. Hay también una sección sobre el proceso en su página web con muchas fotos y detalles. En cada colección hacen una etiqueta temática que cuenta la historia e inspiración de la misma. Y la sección de prensa también es increible. Llevan 15 notas/menciones este año y el año pasado llegaron a 48. Hace pocos días lanzaron una colaboración con Kardo, una marca de indumentaria masculina contemporánea, y ahora se pueden conseguir camisas geniales de verano en 8 estampas diferentes y con un muy buen corte. Viajes, historias, colores, detalles cuidados y mucho amor.
