I love my Indian textiles and colour spectrum, the weaves, the embroidery edits, the print profiles. The saree does perhaps more justice than any other attire to the richness of our handwoven traditions. I wear them anywhere everywhere, only sarees! Qissaas of yore, the beautiful heritage and art of weaving handed down through generations now becoming defunct.
