The Sari Series

I was the producer and creative project manager of The Sari Series: An Anthology of Drape a fashion-forward, non-profit digital anthology of India's regional sari drapes through short film. Launched October 10, 2017, it was executive produced and creative directed by Malika Verma Kashyap of Border&Fall, with the invaluable advisory of sari historian and textile scholar Rta Kapur Chishti.

The Sari Series has two objectives: to create an accessible and comprehensive cultural documentation of India’s sari drapes and to address a much needed perception shift of the garment worldwide. Both objectives are conveyed through 89 how-to-drape short films available online; and three independent films on the sari's past, present and future by filmmakers Pooja Kaul, Q and Bon Duke, available offline for in-person screenings.

  • Featured in over 100 publications including Forbes, WWD, Vogue, Quartz, The Hindu and The Times of India

  • Screened at events worldwide including MoMA’s ‘Fashion Forward Documentaries’, FIT Museum’s ‘Fashion Culture’, India Art Fair, Jaipur Literature Festival and Mountain Echoes Literary Festival.
