Dear friends
I have just posted a note on my blog about the soon to be launched new
book from an NID Faculty colleague, "Indian Saris: Traditions -
Perspectives - Design" by Vijai Singh Katiyar. There will be a social
function and a panel discussion at London on 20th April 2009 for the
book launch by the publisher and the book can be pre-ordered from a
number of sources online as well. Do take a look at the links below
for details:

The Slumdog Millionare's sweep at the Oscar has brought a lot of
attention to India and perhaps Indian fashion and its traditional sari
too will have its place in the sun... our several million handloom
weavers and their children would just love that.
With warm regards
