How do I play with bold contrasts of black and neutrals, as well as gentle hues in modern but still cozy ways? And how can I combine it all with friendly optimism? These are the questions I ask myself when sitting down to design for Kravet, and this new collection of rugs holds my answers. Subtle equine and Indian/African elements inspire the patterns. They transfer their ethnic appeal with casual sophistication. Colorations inform the interior but do not dictate it. Flat weaves meld with any interior at an approachable price point. When I combined all the elements, I was delighted with what emerged: rugs that live beautifully in rooms today, and will continue to live in rooms of the next generations for many tomorrows.

Jawaharlal Nehru University Revised Version of Paper presented at the Conference on the Sociology of the Indian Elites, Jawaharlal Nehru University, 4th and 5th January 2016 Abstract: At the time that India’s liberalization, the Reliance group was already one of India’s leading business groups and in subsequent years has only cemented its place at the top of India’s corporate hierarchy. Reliance was not, however, among the ‘traditional’ large groups that emerged during the colonial era and were found to be still dominant in the mid-1960s. This paper traces the story of the Reliance phenomenon and discusses briefly the process (method) by which that story was constructed. In addition to demystifying the phenomenon, the paper seeks to demonstrate that there is sufficient evidence available to establish the proposition that the basis for the success of Reliance was fundamentally no different from that which other groups used to perpetuate their dominant position, the roots of which lay in the nature of Indian capitalism. 1 Introduction A fundamental premise of this paper is that the capitalist or business class in any society is a product of its particular historical development.

  • Fabrics Around Us 5.3 Classification of Textile Fibres
    Fabrics 5 Around Us LEARNING OBJECTIVES After completing this chapter the learner will be able to — • discuss the diversity in fabrics. • name and classify the fabrics commonly seen around. • explain the concept of yarn and fabric making. • describe the properties of each group of fabrics. 57 • make informed selection of textile products for specific end use. 5.1 Introduction Fabrics are all around us. They are an important part in our lives. Fabrics give comfort and warmth, bring colour and decorative style, and add texture. Just think of a day’s activity and recall how fabrics touch you. When you wake up from your bed, the bedsheets and pillow covers are fabrics. As you get ready for school the towel you use after bath is a soft and absorbent fabric, and the school dress you wear is again a fabric of a special type. The school bag in which you carry your books and other items is also a fabric, but again different in texture. It may be slightly stiff and coarse but strong enough to bear the load. If you observe your home you will find fabrics in almost all places, from curtains to kitchen dusters, floor mops and durries. Fabrics are of different kinds, weights and thickness and their choice is related to their end use. If you take a typical fabric in hand, and unravel it, you may be able to pull out the thread like structures from it. These may be interlaced with each other at right angles or interlooped as in your woollen cardigan or T shirts, or knotted as in nets and laces.

  • Silk – As Fiber and Fabric
    SILK – AS FIBER AND FABRIC Abstract Silk is the most beautiful and shiny natural fiber, that was founded by human civilization. It was first developed in ancient China, but spread gradually n to many regions of Asia. Silk is rightly regarded as Queen of textile fiber. Silk is a 100% natural fabric and natural protein fiber obtained from the cocoons. Out of the numerous species of silk moths, scientists have enumerated about 70 silk moths which are of some economic value. But of these only a very few have commercial value. The bulk of world silk supply comes from the silk moth Bombyx Mori which is domesticated/cultivated, the other varieties of silk Eri,Muga and Tasar are known as wild silk, as they are grown in remote forest trees in natural condition. Silk cocoon formation involves various stages Hatching of Eggs, Silk production by worm,Transition of the worm, cocoon formation and Raw Fiber is Obtained.This is subjected for chemical treatment like Degumming,Bleaching and Dyeing A wide range of silk fabrics are produced by using both Handloom and Power looms. Some of the popular silk fabric are Plain Silk Fabrics ,Dupion Fabrics , Charka Silk , Chiffon , Chinnon , Crepe or Crepe de Chine, Organza , Satin , Tabby Silk , Murshidabad Silk , Matka Fabric, China Silk ,Noil or Thrown silk ,Raw silk ,Taffeta Today 100% silk fabric are facing stiff competition from both from popular silk blends like Silk and Cotton, Silk and Linen and Silk and Wool and also from Artificial Silk or Art silk which refers to a synthetic manufactured fiber called Rayon which resembles silk but costs less to produce.
