Title: Amazing blend of fashion, anthropology and culture
Review: I Loved this book - Chantal hasn't just written about a zillion saree drapes, she's also weaved in an anthropological analysis of the complex class structure of Indian society. Each saree drape is therefore not just a different style but also a political statement. As I try on each drape, I'm trying to see what it tells me about the people that wore it - what these amazingly creative women thought of morality, comfort, etiquette, and routine, not to mention aesthetics and expression.It's an amazing book, just such a tragedy that there aren't more such books available. I do plan to visit Chantal's Institute of draped clothes in London sometime....
