CREATIVITY & CRAFTSMANSHIP

Harper’s Bazaar: What was your idea behind curating the book, Journey to India Modern, and how long did it take?

Tarun Tahiliani: “As we completed 25 years of the design studio, the idea of the book came about to create a discourse in fashion, highlighting the profound influence of the draped form on our work, which is very particular to the design studio. The curation process was time consuming as our archives were improperly maintained, and things had to be collected and repaired which surpassed our initial time estimates.”

HB: How does this book contribute to the dialogue surrounding fashion?

TT: “Fashion discourse has historically encompassed various perspectives, yet within celebrity circles—it tends to be superficial and lacking in substantial discussions about craftsmanship. This book will be a find for people who’re fashion enthusiasts.”

HB: You have collaborated with fashion journalists while curating this book— how has that influenced its content?
