Tailor-Made

53 Rupees to 1 Dollar. The Rupee hasn't been this low in a while. As a result, I've done some shopping.

Unfortunately for Dad, I live near the nicest/newest mall in New Delhi:


But fear not, my closest girlfriend here happens to be a freelance designer that got her degree from the National Institute of Fashion Technology (as did about every girl I meet here, if they aren't a model). She told me to show her anything I like from any major brand and she will sketch it and customize it to my body, and then get it made. She employs two tailors in her basement and has her own label. The cost of tailor-made clothing here is low as this is the capital of textiles in India and labor is cheap. I told her she just found her biggest client. No more mall shopping.

Yayyyy for clothes made for me :)
