NITIN SAWHNEY
MUSICIAN AND COMPOSER
Why do you love to travel?
They say travel broadens the mind. There is so much to learn from visiting different cultures and traditions, not only musically but in every way. Through travel I’ve had the fortune to meet and interview Nelson Mandela, visit aboriginal Australians in their homelands, meet native Americans on a mountain near Sacramento and work with Brazilian children at a street shelter in Brazil. I have had so many wonderful memories and experiences through travelling that I have lost count of them all! Most of all, I have witnessed the most beautiful sunsets and sunrises.

Lovi Ceylon Debuts In Paris
Continuing their journey to introduce the sarong to the world, Lovi Ceylon launched their new collection to much acclaim at TexWorld Paris during the Paris Fashion Week. While in Paris the Lovi Ceylon show was witnessed by Jean-Paul Donald-Potard a childhood friend of Jean Paul Gaultier who joined forces with the iconic designer to set up a global fashion empire. Jean-Paul Donald-Potard was so taken with the silhouette of the sarong and Lovi Ceylon Founder, Asanka De Mel’s vision, that a visit to Sri Lanka to explore a possible collaboration between the two is on the cards. Asanka De Mel is dogged in his determination to make the sarong an outfit of choice for not only Sri Lankans but for gentlemen around the world. By showcasing his collection in Paris, Lovi Ceylon is one step closer in their journey to global domination.
