What and who is REVASTRA
It is a spiritual fashion research lab based on editor-educator and mother of a teen Bhawana's nomadic learning, living across 15+ cities and towns, and 19+ years of work in India. After her stint as Features Editor-Fashion with FEMINA (Worldwide Media Ltd.—Times of India / BBC Magazines), she contributed independently to The Hindu, Hindustan Times-Mint Lounge, Time Out, Lonely Planet, Travel + Leisure, Maxim, Orissa Post, Signature-Oman, among others. She has taught at NIFT, Pearl Academy, Symbiosis Institute of Design, CEPT-Ahmedabad, IIM-A, British Council (TEFL-certified trainer), GD Goenka and Ansal Universities. Her heart now lies in teaching yoga-meditation, and reviving saris and rituals through this lab.
How can REVASTRA help you
It travels, observes and studies complex ancient Indian fashion and lifestyle wisdom to make Content, Learning and Products for individuals and brands. The conversions are immersive, interactive and informative modules and workshops, micro blog stories, and long-form writing for articles, features, websites, playbooks, brochures, newsletters, or books. All of this is drawn from #rephilosophy (5Rs or refuse-reduce-reuse-repurpose-recycle thinking combined with Yoga). Using this experience, REVASTRA upcycles unused saris into geometric wearables or art.
