Re-imagining the tricolour in fashion on 73rd Independence Day

Independence Day 2019: From an eco-conscious sari to a hoodie, designers illustrate what I-Day means to them.

In today’s time when we look for luxe products and couture, we think of the global fashion bastions such as Paris and Milan, however, the essence and roots of luxury originated back home.

India has always been the beacon of style and craftsmanship — be it the immaculate personal styles of Indian maharanis and maharajas, or their penchant for the finest fabrics and jewellery. A stunning bracelet studded with emerald beads, baguette, diamonds, and platinum, owned by maharani Sita Devi of Baroda (which was sold for $16 million) comes to mind instantly.

Here’s raising a toast to the new-age India — bold, confident and individualistic.

Designers join us as we celebrate the 73rd Independence Day in the country, and sketch their perception of the Indian fashion today. Moving from traditional tailoring to more westernised silhouettes, they add hues of patriotism to keep up with the spirit of Indian fashion.
