Fighting terrorism in the language of fashion

Fighting terrorism in the language of fashion


"Defenseless, vulnerable, yet not defeated…. I am my own guardian angel.”

The fashion designers express their angst over the 26/11 Mumbai attacks...in the language they know best.

“My garment is the expression of a very angry fashion designer. For terrorists, the punishment of death is not enough. I believe that they are already dead, and that is why they have no feelings, emotions or love for anybody. Killing dead people again makes no sense. We must teach them a lesson, and also make them die a hundred times, like the loved ones of the people they kill.”, says the designer Jenjum Gadi of Delhi



“The white free flowing garment signifies peace, which is ravaged by blood red, depicting violence. The red goes from bright to a deeper crimson at its edges; yet the core of the garment remains predominantly white. It is a reminder that peace and honesty shall always prevail over violence and hate.”, says designer Nachiket Barve from Mumbai
