Fashion - much like art – can be a potent way of responding to and engaging in the landscapes around. While traditionally, Indian textiles and clothing traditions were heavily informed with the motives of nature - often celebrating seasons; bursts of wild expression in more recent Indian fashion represent that need for the individual to imagine without inhibitions, making possible the impossible. This exhibition, part of a larger festival which brings together diverse art mediums enables fashion in contextualising itself as a valid medium in the Visual Art stream - something that is only beginning to happen in India recently.
