Independence Day 2019: From an eco-conscious sari to a hoodie, designers illustrate what I-Day means to them.

Here’s raising a toast to the new-age India — bold, confident and individualistic.

Designers join us as we celebrate the 73rd Independence Day in the country, and sketch their perception of the Indian fashion today. Moving from traditional tailoring to more westernised silhouettes, they add hues of patriotism to keep up with the spirit of Indian fashion.
