In dieser Angelegenheit

The November-December 2020 Edition for Apparel was indeed an exciting one with the latest trends being revealed from Meher's Lotus Make-up India Fashion Week to Weaving Stories with Weaverstory and recreating lost legacies with the help of the Rehwa Society for Maheshwari Saris. While Pranab Gandhi's open-hearted interview is an eye opener for people wanting to join the world of fashion photography, Aavaran's traditional motifs are breaking new barriers in their non-traditional ensembles and processes. A narrative towards a sustainable future leads to an understanding of the need to go green and an insight into the current situation of the local domestic garment industry makes one realise the severity of the Indian Economy.
