This book lends a new dimension to the way the traditional Indian
sari is looked at, and upholds it as an epitome of holistic design
with a unique creative expression. In the backdrop of Indian
socio-cultural and economic ethos, the pages inside unfold the
mesmerising woven yards of the sari, the quintessential piece of
garment that has draped the Indian women since time immemorial. The
sari has been subjected to innumerable cross-cultural influences
brought in by the rise and fall of empires that marked the history
of India. Perhaps no other textile product reflects the resilience
of the Indian handloom sector as the sari, a true example of fine
Indian sensibilities. The volume, with over 915 visuals, aims to
delight and enrich the aesthetic experience of the reader with
information on a wide range of saris from both the past and the
present and ultimately introduces the contemporary design
initiatives taking place in the sector. It enumerates the
fascinating accounts of the sari's traditional significance, the
diverse styles of weaving, design vocabulary, and even the myriad
styles of draping found across the subcontinent. It is indeed a
glowing tribute to the magic flowing out of the deft hands of the
Indian weaver and to the undeterred artistic spirit of the sari.
The book will be of interest to designers, students, policy makers,
technocrats, marketers and businesspersons besides all those who
are interested in Indian art, culture, design and fashion.
