Riassunto

This is the absorbing story of how the British Raj brought lasting changes in the way people dressed and used textiles in Punjab. Many men became Westernized and followed English fashions to the hilt. Others simply wore Western garments like coats or overcoats along with their kurta and

pyjama. Interesting outfits evolved, with both Western and Indian elements. Women's styles too were impacted, albeit to a lesser degree. As Western accessories made an entry, Indian

ornamentation retreated. New fabrics and materials were appreciated and accepted. These, along with Western techniques and motifs, even appeared in the form of household items, to

complement the new furnishings and ways of living.

This brilliantly researched book documents a bygone era.

The collectible includes rare photos and forgotten texts.

Jasvinder Kaur is an expert on Indian textiles and writes regularly in national and international magazines and journals.

Informazioni sull?autore

Jasvinder Kaur studied textiles at Delhi’s Lady Irwin College in 1969. Many years later, it was a fascinating walk down Kabul’s famous Chicken Street, lined with displays of Central Asian textiles, which inspired her to pick up the threads again.
