Story : Zebra Crossed Plaid for ALLDAYKIDS

 

The ‘It’ thing this oncoming season is ‘Checkered Plaid’ and ‘Stripes’. Understandably they do denote adulthood and the grown-up preferences, although, Papa and Grand Pa are not the only ones donning checks and stripes this season. It’s our time to bang the strings and playfully brighten-up along with them. Experiment the unusual sizing and placements of checks, on tees, jackets, woolen scarves, Socks and pair them up with crazy mix-match combinations of stripers on trousers, skirts, vests and splash accents of bright hues to stand out amongst all. It’s just the right occasion to explore a mad frenzy with color splashes. With the onset of the chilly winters, layering with multiple layers of clothes to keep warm would become common phenomena. Trick is to stay stylish and trendy despite the nasty loaded-ness of weights. Wear woolens in plain colors such as Reds, Military Greens, and Beige and brighten the look with coordinating stripes and checks in the scarves, shirts/tees or socks. Stay chic and glide through the crowd with all the attention you gain!!

Think of it like an inside scoop on the hottest things right now. Girls & Boys, all the brands like Weekender kids, Lilliput, Kangaroo Kids, Catmoss, and Gini & Jony have enough and more variety on the plate for you to choose from. A sneak peak into the lives of kids like us, living abroad, staying stylish.

The chain that's yet to find its keys!

My first visit to NID Paldi campus and I set my eyes on Mukul Goyal’s acrobatics keychain.

I saw a lot of myself in it. The shining steel connoting the optimism I hold for the future, the free hanging acrobat represents individuality and a new perspective, an upside down world view seeking for new substance.

I had to have it. I waited patiently through all those college days. Most Paldi visits were to see it, hold it in my hands, and feel its cold steel and figure, wondering whether my desire is a materialistic need of a capitalistic collector or of a dreamer who found some identification with another designer’s product.

On my last trip there, along with my mother, we visited the store again. Only this time my resolute was much stronger and surer. I narrated the preceding story to my mother, to highlight the relevance of this splurge!

The chain awaits my next accomplishment in life to celebrate its usage, my next car or my own apartment?

Let’s see!!!
