me
the
sari
is
a
truly
unique
and
versatile
garment
that
owns
its
identity
even
as
it
transcends
boundaries
and
geographies.
Back
when
I
was
a
young
fashion
student,
I
often
wondered
when
I
would
see
the
sari
at
big
global
fashion
events
like
the
Met
Gala."

"Met
Gala,

America:

Anthology

Natasha
Poonawalla's
vision
was
to
interpret
the

code
'gilded
glamour'
with
an
Indian
gaze
that
revels
in
its
multi-culturalism
and
authenticity."
