Get Mehndi Ready with Khara Kapas
Post by Roop Dhillon on May 26, 2019
If you're like most people, the mehndi/ sangeet outfit is usually an afterthought. It’s that in between event. Falling in the middle of the week, you’re never really sure if you will attend it. And if you do go, you’re usually rushing to it after work. I’ve always found it...

Post by Roop Dhillon on Apr 20, 2019
A little late in getting this post out... but better late than never. I thought it would be worthwhile since we still get questions about the outfits seen in the show. So here it is. A break down of the design process, show theme and everything in between. COLLECTION...

The ZARA Skirt
Post by Roop Dhillon on Jun 12, 2018
Versatile. Elegant. Timeless. The ZARA skirt has become one of our most popular pieces. And it's really no surprise. It's what I like to call "clean and classic". Like your little black dress or your favourite skinny jeans, it will not go out of style. The ZARA is simple, has a...
SILK SLUMBER PARTY
Post by Roop Dhillon on May 11, 2018
I created this collection with the sangeet and maiyan parties in mind. I wanted to really exaggerate and emphasize the summer colors. I came up with four vibrant pieces made with dupion silk: the MASTANI, DIVYA, SIMONE and KAJOL. "Girls just wanna have fun!" That was the theme for this...

Post by Roop Dhillon on Mar 22, 2018
First photoshoot of 2018 and I'm really happy with how it turned out! This one emphasized the MOONLIGHT Collection. If you haven't figured it out already... I'm obsessed with BLACK. It was fitting that we shot the collection in low light to really highlight the details. I also threw in...

Post by Roop Dhillon on Feb 19, 2018
I've had the pleasure of chatting with a lot of soon-to-be brides. And I get a lot of questions asking if I will start a bridal line at MARKET. Well at the moment I am focusing on the non-bridal side of things. I really want to perfect this area before expanding...
My Wedding Story (Part 2)
Post by Roop Dhillon on Feb 19, 2018
I wanted a rustic feel for my engagement party. We were fortunate to book Bombay Banquet Hall. Love this hall! Mainly because of all the windows and natural light. We started the party earlier to allow the sun to set while the festivities progressed. I did the decor on my...

The Most Wonderful Time Of The Year
Post by Roop Dhillon on Dec 01, 2017
I love Christmas! In fact, I'm the type of person that puts up the Christmas tree in November. Yup, I'm one of those. So naturally I needed to do a Christmas themed editorial shoot. I paired some of the classic MARKET skirts (EVA, ZARA, and BELLA) with simple tops from...

A Hawaiian Break
Post by Roop Dhillon on Sep 28, 2017
First and only vacation of this year... so I had to choose wisely. I decided on Honolulu. Like everything this year, the past five days flew by. I managed to visit all my favourite restaurants. I would highly suggest that everyone visit Lanakai beach when they're in Waikiki. But like...
Pastel Picnic
Post by Roop Dhillon on Jun 03, 2017
Part 2. We took it outside. High grass, plenty of dandelions and great weather. This made the perfect backdrop for some of our lighter coloured pieces. Pink, peach, green and white. Soft colours on elegant designs. The bees frequently interrupted the poses. But we still walked away with some...

Post by Roop Dhillon on Mar 15, 2017
We're back from India. What an experience! MARKET is officially under construction. I even managed to explore some of the countryside. Met a lot of incredible people. And got more than my fair share of Indian history. What a beautiful place. I can't wait to go back.
