“The first show we ever did was in the ’70s,” Ritu Kumar tells me. “And now, I’m here passing the baton to Amrish, who’s taken it even further with layered craft techniques and put it into a very modern collection. I’m really proud.” For her, it’s a time to pause and reflect. “I’ve been very blessed to have taken this amazing journey,” she says. “And every morning, for at least 15 minutes, I thank whatever fate brought me here.”
Ahead, Ritu and Amrish Kumar tell Vogue India about the making of the collection, her upcoming book and what’s next for Indian couture.
Vogue India: Where did this collection begin?
Amrish Kumar: Around three years ago, I went to research Dhakai jamdanis in Kolkata, through Weavers Studio and met this incredible woman who does amazing work. At the time, I had no idea where it would lead. But that’s how it begins. Long before anything comes to life on the runway, it’s just research. You go deep into things, and you start following rabbit holes. You might see something, or dive into a specific craft or end up in a craftsman’s studio.
