Indian designer Vaishali Shadangule made a bold return to the Milan Fashion Week this year with the launch of her collection Ancestral Threads, capping off her international debut last year at the Paris Haute Couture Week in July 2021.
The audience was in awe after Vaishali's prêt-à-porter collection, which this time featured powerful statements for Indian handloom on the international stage of Milan Fashion Week. Although a more wearable and mature collection was boosted by a variety of pricey West Bengali silks, lavish silks and cottons from Maheshwar, Karnataka, and the famed Kota Doriya, her unmistakable cording method raised shapes to a new level. In 'Ancestral Threads', she went into further detail on her ongoing love for nature and its importance in our lives.
