When a brand's HQ is in the literal birthplace of the "Gypsy," you know the designer behind it has major boho game. Designer Caroline Weller is not joking around when it comes to the life-filled textiles and bold prints that have come roaring back into fashion over the past decade. After a prestigious career designing for some of the most successful brands of our time, from Calvin Klein to J.Crew, and inspired by her own robust world travels, Weller launched her own line,
Banjanan, in 2015. Banjanan means
gypsy in Hindi, and each collections' vibrant expression of prints, colors, and singular craftsmanship has our imaginations running wild. The latest sustainable fashion brand on our radar this season, Banjanan's designs are made by the ancient textile community of Jaipur, the capital of Rajathan, India. Watch the video above for the inspiring story (on loan from Barney's New York!) Caroline believes that the
energy of fabric made by human hands is tangible in the finished product, and uses the local talents of Jaipur's community to create the flowing dresses, breezy tops, and other statement pieces that are so unquestionably "Banjanan." From the expected (fellow artists) to the extraordinary (magical Ottoman gardens), here are 10 design inspirations that get Caroline's creative juices flowing:
