India’s cultural fabric is a kaleidoscope of traditional crafts and textiles, bursting with the intricate weaves of Banaras, the amazing crafts of Bengal to the riotous hues of Rajasthan. Our fashion heritage is a treasure trove, crafted by artisans who are nothing short of creative geniuses. Yet, in the age of fast fashion, many of these timeless wonders have been left to gather dust in the shadows. But as the world pivots towards sustainability and conscious consumerism, it’s time for Indian fashion to dust off these forgotten gems and put them back in the spotlight where they belong. Sumita Chakraborty, Editor-in-chief, TheGlitz, rallies the industry to strut its stuff and bring these age-old crafts back with a contemporary twist.
Welcome to the glamorous world where every thread spins a tale and every weave holds a secret. As Sumita Chakraborty, Editor-in-Chief, TheGlitz, might put it: “If fashion were a party, Indian textiles would be the dazzling guest of honour, arriving with a flair that turns heads and a grace that steals the show.” In this fashion fiesta, Indian weavers and designers are not merely attending - they’re headlining.
When it comes to fashion, India is a land of vibrant colors, intricate patterns, and boundary-pushing creativity. Our designers are not just artisans; they are storytellers, dream weavers, and rule breakers. Some of them have taken their creativity to the next level, producing work that is as quirky as it is stunning. TheGlitz takes a look at some of the quirkiest fashion designers in India who are redefining what it means to be fashionable.

The question is no longer whether luxury brands should practice sustainability, but how swiftly they can integrate it into their core ethos. TheGlitz reports.
