Produktbeschreibung
'The Surviving Saree' is an artistic expression of the emotional journey of the saree, a 5-9 yards rectangular piece of fabric which speaks about heritage and identity. It is a garment that is known to be one of the oldest surviving drapes. The Saree can be traced back to one of the oldest Indian civilizations and has survived centuries of social, political and economic changes in India. Clothing and particularly, the saree has played a significant role in women's heritage. Saree has not just evolved but it stands as the most sustainable garment even today, reflecting the renewal of fashion as it is draped completely with zero wastage of fabric as it doesn't involve garment cutting techniques. The book explores the saree, not just as a garment but ignites the emotional aspects, stories of women, their transformation with the transforming saree, and the renewal of fashion in India. The purpose of this research is to see the evolution of the Saree through thousands of years and find answers to our research question: What makes the Saree, the oldest surviving garment we know of today?
