A CROSS-SECTIONAL VIEW OF INDIAN SOCIETY THROUGH THE LENS OF CLOTHING AND STYLE.
Acclaimed journalist and cultural commentator Shefalee Vasudev has spent over twenty-five years observing and chronicling fashion and culture.
Who is seen? How are we seen? How do we want to be seen? In Stories We Wear, Shefalee listens deeply to the language of appearance and examines how it becomes a medium of identity, belonging, even resistance. She journeys through villages, burns wards, cafés, cremation grounds, influencer feeds and more, to ask: What do we signal when we dress for power, humility, rebellion or grief? In the process, she reveals the contradictions stitched into the fabric of our lives and of modern India: from khadi’s contested legacy to the spectacle of airport terminals, from the anti-heroines of Hindi OTT dramas to the seductive mirage of ethical fashion.
