Looks at the world of Indian fashion, exploring the work of such designers as Fightercock, Kavita Bharthia, and Gayatri Khanna and discusses the innovative techniques being used for textiles, sculptural draping, and pattern cutting.

Indian haute couture is conquering catwalks worldwide. For many, Indian fashion conjures multi-colored saris and gold embroidery, but the designers featured in this volume are turning that cliché on its head by creating global styles without losing sight of tradition. This book documents the scene, with an in-depth look at designers as diverse as Fightercock (a collaboration between Abhishek Gupta and Nandita Basu, who claim on one of their t-shirts that "The Revolution must wear Fightercock"), AtpuG varuaG (who won Breakthrough Designer of the Year at the MTV and Zoom Style Awards in 2006) and Kavita Bharthia (who is known for both Indian and Western styles, impeccably finished on handlooms, which incorporate cottons and silks, scarves, stoles and knits). Other featured designers include Gayatri Khanna, Anamika Khanna, Small Shop, Anuj Sharma, Ashish N Soni, Ayesha Depala, CUE, Deepika Govind, Drashta Sarvaiya, Falguni & Shane Peacock, Manish Arora, Nachiket Barve, Namrata Joshipura, Nimita Rathod, Nitin Bal Chauhan, Prashant Verma, Rajesh Pratap Singh, Ranna Gill, My Village, Sabyasachi Mukherjee, Savio Jon, Shantanu & Nikhil, Shantanu Goenka, Swapnil Shinde, Varun Bahl, Wendell Rodricks and Bounipun. Contemporary Indian Fashion offers a host of experimental techniques for textiles, pattern cutting and sculptural draping, as well as the mixing of natural and synthetic fibers and unlikely juxtapositions such as jersey or chiffon with leather.

L'emergente nouvelle vague della moda indiana. A cura di Federico Rocca.

Forse ai più le firme di Ashish N Soni, Manish Arora e Rajesh Pratap Singh, non diranno granché, eppure questi nomi - e tanti altri del tutto impronunciabili per gli occidentali – rappresentano l’emergente nouvelle vague della moda indiana: un vero e proprio esercito di creativi che in tempi piuttosto recenti ha iniziato a farsi spazio nell’impenetrabile fashion system internazionale. Per anni ingiustamente confinati nella produzione low-cost globalizzata,e ora spalleggiati dalla forza di un’economia sempre più rampante, questo ben assortito gruppo di stilisti sta conquistando rapidamente le passerelle e i mercati mondiali, padroneggiando con assoluta disinvoltura il linguaggio e la tecnica della moda. E se nell’immaginario comune la moda indiana è ancora sinonimo di kitsch, questi new designer - senza perdere di vista la millenaria tradizione del passato – fanno piazza pulita di saree variopinti e ricami dorati per dimostrare un’inventiva sbalorditiva, tutta documentata nelle oltre 400 illustrazioni contenute nel volume. Contemporary Indian fashion presenta infatti una vasta collezione di capi d’abbigliamento, lavorazioni, ricami, contaminazioni e mix di stili; una moda sperimentale che è piacevolmente libera da pregiudizi estetici e audace nelle invenzioni. Fashion designers: Anamika Khanna, Manish Arora, Zubair Kirmani, Gaurav Gupta, Prashant Verma, Drashta Sarvaya, Cue by Rohit Gandhi & Rahul Khanna, Ashish N Soni, Sabyasachi Mukherjee, My Village / Rimzim Dadu, Rajesh Pratap Singh, Varun Bahl, Kavita Bhartia, Namrata Joshipura, Nachiket Barve, Shantanu Goenka, Ranna Gill, Nimita Rathod, Shantanu & Nikhil, Anuj Sharma, Swapnil Shinde, Small Shop.

Traditional Indian Fabrics and Their Modern-Day Revival

India’s rich textile heritage dates back thousands of years, with each region offering its own distinctive weaving styles, dyeing techniques, and fabric artistry. Traditional Indian fabrics like khadi, chikankari, bandhani, and ikat have long been celebrated for their craftsmanship and cultural significance. Today, these ancient techniques are experiencing an exciting revival, finding a place not just in ethnic wear but also in contemporary and global fashion trends.

As Indian fashion evolves to meet modern sensibilities, the appreciation and reinvention of these traditional fabrics have taken center stage, blending history with innovation in a truly remarkable way.

Khadi: The Fabric of Freedom, Now a Fashion Statement

Originally popularized by Mahatma Gandhi during India’s independence movement, khadi symbolizes self-reliance and national pride. Made from hand-spun and handwoven cotton, khadi is known for its breathability and rustic texture.

In recent years, designers have reimagined khadi for urban markets, crafting stylish jackets, dresses, and even high-end couture pieces. Khadi is no longer seen as a coarse, outdated fabric — it is now celebrated for its sustainability and versatility. Top Indian designers like Rajesh Pratap Singh and brands like Fabindia have championed khadi’s comeback, making it an integral part of contemporary Indian fashion.

Chikankari: Lucknow’s Elegant Hand Embroidery

Chikankari, the delicate hand embroidery that originated in Lucknow, is another traditional art form making waves in modern wardrobes. Once associated primarily with ethnic kurtas and sarees, chikankari has found new expression in Western silhouettes like tunics, dresses, and even denim jackets.

With celebrities often spotted wearing chic chikankari outfits at casual and formal events, this ancient embroidery style has gained global recognition. Designers like Abu Jani-Sandeep Khosla have been instrumental in showcasing the elegance of chikankari on prestigious runways and red carpets, keeping the tradition alive while innovating with colors, fabrics, and contemporary cuts.

Bandhani: The Vibrant Tie-Dye Tradition

Originating from Gujarat and Rajasthan, bandhani is a traditional tie-dye technique that creates intricate patterns through hand-knotting fabric before dyeing it. Known for its vibrant colors and festive appeal, bandhani was once limited to traditional dupattas, sarees, and turbans.

Today, bandhani is experiencing a stylish rebirth. Fashion houses are incorporating it into skirts, scarves, dresses, and even office wear, blending heritage artistry with global trends. Sustainable fashion labels and bohemian brands are increasingly using bandhani to create eco-friendly collections that appeal to both Indian and international audiences.

Ikat: A Craft of Precision and Artistry

Ikat, a resist-dyeing technique involving meticulous pre-weaving dye processes, has its roots in Andhra Pradesh, Odisha, and Gujarat. Ikat’s geometric patterns and bold color contrasts have made it a favorite among designers seeking an ethnic touch with a modern twist.

Contemporary Indian fashion designers are using ikat for stylish blazers, shift dresses, casual shirts, and even accessories like bags and shoes. The handwoven nature of ikat adds uniqueness to every piece, offering a story of craftsmanship that appeals to today’s conscious consumers.

The Role of Sustainable and Ethical Fashion Movements

The global push towards sustainability has played a major role in the revival of traditional Indian fabrics. Handmade, eco-friendly, and rooted in slow fashion principles, these fabrics align perfectly with the growing demand for ethical and sustainable fashion.

Younger designers and startups are collaborating with artisan communities, ensuring that the revival of these crafts also leads to economic empowerment and preservation of cultural heritage. Platforms like Taneira, Okhai, and Buna are dedicated to showcasing these fabrics in ways that respect both tradition and modernity.

Conclusion

The modern revival of traditional Indian fabrics is a celebration of the country’s rich heritage and its innovative spirit. By blending age-old craftsmanship with contemporary design sensibilities, Indian fashion is creating a unique space that honors the past while embracing the future.

Whether it’s the rustic charm of khadi, the elegance of chikankari, the vibrancy of bandhani, or the precision of ikat, these fabrics continue to weave stories of artistry, resilience, and style — ensuring that the legacy of Indian textiles lives on for generations to come.

An FIR has been lodged against four individuals, including the brother and nephews of BJP MLA Rajesh Chowdhury, for allegedly assaulting staff at a private hospital after being denied entry to an ICU ward. The incident occurred on Sunday, and the complaint was filed by Dr. Lalit Varshney at the Highway police station, police confirmed on Monday. SHO Anand Kumar Shahi stated that the complaint alleged that Jitendra Singh, Sanjay Chowdhury, Dev Chowdhury, and Jaswant assaulted hospital staff members Pratap and Satyapal when they were stopped from entering the ICU. The police reviewed CCTV footage of the incident, which supported the allegations, leading to the registration of the FIR.
