Presenting To You, The ‘Made In India’ Carpet At Met 2023!
If you’re also a fashion gworl like me, you might have zoomed in on the thousands of Met Gala pictures and noticed every trivial detail in the frame. But I bet you didn’t know that the coveted red carpet has been designed and made in India with a pinch of videshi tadka.
The carpet has been made by Neytt by Extraweave, a Kerela-based textile company. It was then painted by US-based painters and was finally done in 60 days. Now this is what we call an epic cultural collaboration!
The Met Gala 2023 also saw a lot of global celebs flaunting saree gowns, owing to Karl Lagerfeld’s iconic Paris-Bombay collection 2012-2013, which included maang tikkas, brocades and suits. From Isha Ambani’s saree gown by Prabal Gurung to Gigi Hadid’s Givenchy gown with a saree-like drape, a bunch of attendees showed up with an Indian touch. Such a proud moment, I must say!
Here’s wishing we achieve greater milestones in future!
