Summay

Inspired by India is a panoramic exploration of over six centuries of trade, cultural exchange and inspiration between India and the rest of the world. Through the lens of various material and visual categories, including textiles such as chintz and muslin, fashion history and imagery, jewellery and global luxury fashion brands, intriguing stories unfold surrounding the histories of objects and the complex ideas of India that inform their inspiration. The book explores how some of the most legendary design houses have looked to Indian culture, decorative arts and artisanal crafts for inspiration. It delves into how these inspirations are filtered and adapted according to preconceived ideas or strategic objectives concerning India. Inspired by India includes a wealth of visual imagery from the archives of museums and galleries and the world’s leading luxury brands, craft ateliers and fashion designers.
