Being Lucky…and Sarada

Papierdoll Magazine updates today featuring an interview with twin designers Lucky and Sarada Ravindra of Queue. Former professional tennis players turned designers, they speak on a variety of issues including the evolution of their line from Spring 2007 to Fall 2007 (we’ll publish photos tomorrow), the transition from living in Miami to moving to New York and functioning in the fashion world as twin designers. Some interesting quotes from the article include:

on the evolution of their line:

But when we first started we didn’t know what we were doing on some levels. I mean it was a whole new thing for us, we didn’t go to fashion school, we had nothing to do with the industry at all and it was a lot of trial and error.

on modeling their own clothes:

We have thought about using other models for the line, we started doing it at first not because we saw ourselves as models. The brand was about an idea that we were trying to project in terms of lifestyle. It was convenient for us and it seemed natural for us to just do it ourselves.

on the transition between their Spring and Fall line:

I think that’s something we also didn’t think about when we were designing in the past. We never thought about how we felt about the line personally. We created what we thought the market wanted. With the Fall line, we went with what we wanted to do and we decided that if we were going to continue doing this, we would do it based on how we wanted it to be done.
