Recently, in an interview with Indian Express fashion designer Tarun Tahiliani, said “I am tired of seeing beautiful Indian clothes relegated to weddings.” This statement by him came up as a response to the question of how it was for him when things started to open up after a long loc-down during the pandemic.
He further also said, “So, we are saying, wear your saris with a pantsuit, wear your choli with a pair of palazzos and we are giving young girls and men, ideas on how to use and reuse their beautiful pieces so that it, therefore, becomes sustainable.”
He did also talk about how this kind of fashion helps people in buying less and using it more often which in turn makes fashion sustainable.
He released a luxury Pret collection of his ultra-modern outfits, he did an online fashion show under the banner of FDCI X Fashion Week and now, that the pandemic is over he is back with a physical fashion show. In this interview, he talked about all of this and more.
When asked about how it is to be back with a physical fashion show he said, “It felt absolutely fantastic to be back for a physical show, that too outdoors, against the beautiful backdrop of the Dhyan Chand Stadium and the India Gate on one side. The show was all about high energy with live music by Ma Maiza, castanets and full scores composed.”.
He was also asked about his Luxury Pret collection about which he said that he is proud of this collection, but because of the Pandemic they were not able to work on it but, now that they are back, they are coming up with new fabrics like wrinkled, tulles, poplins, lycra, sushi voile, some shaded georgette. He added saying that they have also started to experiment with different styles such as Rangrez in which they have hand-woven brocade strips on different dresses such as trousers, cholis and so on.

These dresses will be a mix of traditional and modern styles. This collection will also include drapes with tech and aerodynamic forms.
