Over the twenty-five years of his extraordinary career, Tahiliani has most assiduously worked towards and forged the inspiring design philosophy of an ‘India Modern’. With the transcendent vision to not just preserve but also reinvent Indian vestiary customs and practices, Tahiliani triumphantly infused the country’s drape culture with contemporary tailoring, sense of structure and silhouettes. The result has been an innovative array of fluid-yet- structured styles that have become synonymous with the studio’s name—the Mughal miniature jewelled tees, the structured draped dress, the concept sari, the chikankaari separates and, mostly, the corseted embroidery bridalwear with seamed panelled veils that contour over the body, caressing a woman’s curves. Tahiliani’s eclectic and iconic designs that surpass couture boundaries have been showcased internationally, at fashion weeks throughout the world—from Milan to London, and donned by Indian celebrities and fashionistas to international popstars and fashion icons such as Lady Gaga and Winnie Harlow. This stunning volume on Tarun Tahiliani’s work presents an account of the scintillating range of the atelier, from couture, bridal wear, menswear, and prêt-a-porter lines that are a brilliant synthesis of Indian textile heritage and international fashion sensibilities. Conceptualized as a stream-of-consciousness montage of photographs, sketches, foldouts and interwoven with essays by top fashion writers and sociologists, this publication endeavours to oer insight into the mindset, workings, and evolution of one of contemporary India’s pre-eminent design studios and its evolution. Alia Allana is currently a sta reporter at Fountain Ink. Allana also • regularly contributes to several dailies on the subjects of foreign 348 pages, 374 photographs policy, the Middle East, crime, fashion, and social media.

Balakrishnan For as long as Indians have adorned themselves, they have sought to wear Silver and Gold Visions of Arcadia jewels that conveyed beauty, power and status. Jewels are believed to The Amrapali Collection of Indian Jewellery provide protection, hope, luck and well-being. More than 40 years ago, two friends, united by a passion for the decorative arts, embarked on an exploration of these unique jewels of India. They were motivated by the everyday jewels of the people in the villages—to discover the sources of their inspiration and to unravel the complex ritual of adornment that resulted in ornaments being fabricated for every part of the body, from the top of the head to the toes. What resulted were visions of Arcadia, leading to the creation of the Amrapali Collection of Indian Jewellery, one of the largest collections of pastoral silver jewellery in the world. Usha R. Balakrishnan The manifold communities that this collection represents come from dierent religions, with linguistic dierences and diverse cultural 264 pages, 200 images sensibilities, but the land that the jewels encompass is geographically 9.9 x 12.5” (252 x 318 mm), hc contiguous. Beyond adornment, the Amrapali collection presents a ISBN: 978-93-85360-88-6 vision of harmony with nature, with forms and motifs that draw upon 2950 | $65 | £45 nature and the cosmos, and materials like shells, grass and bone. They Oct 2021 | exhibit the amazing technical expertise of simple gold- and silversmiths. This volume presents the jewels in all their glory, not as museum objects Published in association with Amrapali Museum, Jaipur or as relics of the past, but as a visual language communicating design, aesthetics, tradition and above all, the artistic expression of adorning the body.
