Since spirituality dressing is fast becoming a trend among youth in most European countries, Lorain&#8217;s latest collection uses symbols like the Siva Lingam, chakras, angels, yantras and the naga. Priced between US$18 to $178, Chopra&#8217;s ensembles are available in blue, maroon, off-white and beige. &#8220;Recently, I bought a top with a black cobra embossed on its front. Whenever I put it on, it makes me feel so ecstatic and sensuous that either I get into a trance or I feel like rediscovering my passion all over again,&#8221; says Bonnie Baker, an American tour consultant who is a fan of Lorain&#8217;s clothes. &#8220;I draw inspiration from my close encounters which I experience during the state of deep meditation,&#8221; says Lorain, who practices meditation on a daily basis. &#8220;I feel that the American mind, being naturally inquisitive, is more open to such experiments. I am looking for aesthetic and spiritual acknowledgement rather than financial gains. That&#8217;s why I chose New York for the display of my creativity,&#8221; adds Lorain.<br \/>\n<\/P><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>GO TO SOURCE NEW DELHI, INDIA, December 6, 2002: Fashion designer Lorain Chopra is amazing her clients with garments which,&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"inline_featured_image":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-2788","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.hinduismtoday.com\/hpi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2788","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.hinduismtoday.com\/hpi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.hinduismtoday.com\/hpi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.hinduismtoday.com\/hpi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.hinduismtoday.com\/hpi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2788"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.hinduismtoday.com\/hpi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2788\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.hinduismtoday.com\/hpi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2788"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.hinduismtoday.com\/hpi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2788"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.hinduismtoday.com\/hpi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2788"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
