Quotes
Anindita Sardar – Head Design and Curation, Taneira
“We are really excited to debut at the FDCI X Lakmé Fashion Week in its first ever phygital format. As a brand, we stand for purity, authenticity and responsibility with pride and purpose – virtues that will lead the future of fashion in India and across the globe. ‘The Fusion Edit’ is an attempt to revive some of the languishing crafts of our country like farad print from Bagru, Rajasthan and Boparipallu which is an ancient technique of Ajrakh print on both sides of a pallu. This collection is thoughtfully designed using natural and sustainable fabrics birthing from the idea of circular fashion. We hope this platform will help us in sharing this message with the larger audience.”
Bollywood actress Dia Mirza
“I am really happy to see Taneira’s efforts in contributing towards a sustainable and greener future. I absolutely love this collection as it beautifully integrates age-old techniques and weaves from across the country. Small efforts such as these will go a long way, and coming from a Tata brand it will encourage consumers to make mindful purchases.”
