Beautiful intricate designs that give back to the community. There's nothing better than that!
Gadogado, started by designer Belinda Kazanci, has an origin as interesting and exotic as it's name. A childhood in Instanbul surrounded her with lush and gorgeous textiles, as well as a family of women that understood the value of both textiles and clothes-making.
Then, inspiration hit and Gadogado was born during a trip to the magical island of Bali. Gadogado is all about unique prints and versatile styles as well as hand finished embellishments and details. Done by hand by local craftsmen, Gadogado designs are able to remain authentic while giving locals the opportunity to show their skills while still caring for their families.
Gadogado is also extremely conscious of the environment and believes in using recycled materials and producing minimal waste. Plus, they're in the works of partnering up with a non-profit orginization that helps women in third world countries to start their own businesses and to be self sufficient.

In case you haven't heard, bright colors are clubbing grays and blacks and browns over the head this year and retaking their rightful spots on top of the fashion food chain. Nowhere is that more apparent than in Indian designers Falguni & Shane Peacock's Fall 2008 line, which they debuted in the U.S. for the first time at L.A. Fashion Week. I talked with the husband and wife team before their historic show about their use of color, and why their line, synonymous with Bali movie starlets, may soon be draped over the bodies of their American cousins.
