The tapestries created by the Chanakya Atelier were originally the backdrop for Dior's spring 2022 couture show in Paris.
The exhibition is part of Chiuri’s vision to bring the worlds of fashion and art together and to keep artisans’ techniques going., which brought celebrities and fashion followers from around the world to Mumbai and showcased the work of the Chanakya Atelier and its school. The exhibit runs through April 22.
“It is interesting to see how craft added new dimension to those works, giving a new movement and energy into them. It gives an untethered ability to really command attention and has a completely different ability to transform the way we look at craft itself,” Inakshi Sobti, chief executive officer of the Asia Society India Centre, told WWD.
Talking about the exhibition and the reason these panels came up in the first place, Chiuri maintained that fashion “is a territory where you can work with different kinds of artists, with many different backgrounds” and that tapestry itself was very different. “It has more freedom and also you realize it is more difficult — it is like painting, where you can paint and you don’t have to think about the weight, how wearable it is, it is much more artistic, and has less limits.
