Last year, a remarkable movement at Ascot Races of hundreds of Indian ladies made a bold statement by proudly donning saris instead of the usual hats and dresses. This celebration of cultural diversity in fashion created a refreshing change, inspiring others to embrace their unique styles. Moreover, the initiative, led by Aruna Chopra aimed to support small sari-weaving villages in India, contributing to their traditional craftsmanship and empowering local communities. As the upcoming Ascot season approaches, we reflect on the impact of last year’s sari movement, anticipating another season of fashion that transcends boundaries and embraces cultural expression.
