内容简介

新纱丽--从亚文化趋势到使用材料的创新和实验性设计

近年来，纱丽已经被重新发明了。以前将纱丽与正装联系在一起的城市青年，现在可以发现他们在上下班的路上穿着纱丽和运动鞋。设计师们正在尝试混合形式，如纱丽长袍和连衣裙，预先垂下的纱丽和创新材料，如钢铁。个人穿着纱丽表达对社会规范的抵制，活动家将其作为抗议的对象。今天，纱丽表现为一个设计创新的场所，一种身份的表达和一个承载着多层文化意义的手工制品。

本书庆祝了纱丽设计中的这些创新，并对当代领先设计师的作品进行了摄影。由Pragya Agarwal和Sonia Faleiro等印度作家委托撰写的文章探讨了诸如性别流动性、政治、可持续性、女性赋权和印度的自我形象等观点，同时还采访了其作品说明每个主题的设计师。

The new sari―from subcultural trends to innovative and experimental designs using cutting-edge materials

In recent years, the sari has been reinvented. Urban youth who previously associated the sari with formal attire can now be found wearing saris and sneakers on their commutes to work. Designers are experimenting with hybrid forms such as sari gowns and dresses, pre-draped saris and innovative materials such as steel. Individuals are wearing the sari as an expression of resistance to social norms and activists are embodying it as an object of protest. Today, the sari manifests as a site for design innovation, an expression of identity and a crafted object carrying layers of cultural meanings.

The Offbeat Sari celebrates these innovations in sari design, with photography of pieces by leading contemporary designers. Commissioned essays by notable Indian writers such as Pragya Agarwal and Sonia Faleiro explore ideas such as gender fluidity, politics, sustainability, female empowerment and the self-image of India, alongside interviews with the designers whose work illustrates each theme.
