Anita Dongre’s ode to Bhuj
'Crafts Of India -- An ode to Bhuj' is a hark back at royal legacies from a millennium ago, bringing together handwoven fabrics, rich embroideries and intricate fabric patterns like dyeing from individual regions.
Fashion designer Anita Dongre says she has faced numerous challenges throughout her career, but she always found inspiration in the strength of women around her.
Her label AND has launched videos of women and their inspiring stories of overcoming challenges through their initiative ‘ANDiRISE’.
“Having faced a number of challenges throughout my career, I have always found inspiration in the strength of women around me. The ANDiRISE platform is a beautiful amalgamation that commemorates these inspiring women who have overcome hardships in life through hope, courage, and wisdom,” Dongre said.
