Anavila Misra

Arguably the greatest hits of Misra’s skills, the Spring Summer 2023 collection featured a homage to Dabu — an ancient mud resist hand-block printing technique from Rajasthan, the origins of which can be traced to about 675 AD. In an industry fixated on newness and renewal, it’s good to shake things up from time to time, and so Misra went back to the drape’s purist roots. Way back to the days of unstitched fabric and bare muddied feet. Way back to when sarees were worn without blouses and petticoats. Way back to a time when each fold, knot and pleat had a functional role of holding coins, grains and herbs. And in that quicksand, without any irony, she took us back to the time when fashion week was made of simpler cloth.
