A special exhibition will begin at Outbound on Saturday, June 15th.
I would be delighted to chat with you from time to time about the changes around us and the various initiatives being undertaken in the East, West and also in the South.
The photo shows what is commonly known as the Rajasthani dress, which we have been making since 2012.
Over the past few years, I have had several opportunities to really come face to face with the land of Rajasthan, and I have come to realize that I actually only knew the surface of the place, but nothing at all.
Up until now, wearing something like continental costume in everyday life may have been considered "out of place" or "offbeat" fashion, but now that global standards are being shaken and we are in the midst of a major transformation, I wonder if our relationship with costume and the way we approach it will also be reset, and we will repeat the cycle of returning to new horizons.
