MANY HANDS MAKE BEAUTIFUL WORK: RITU KUMAR

Check out this bright and insightful short film on Ritu Kumar’s collection behind the scenes! I love the upbeat shots showing us the people and the skilful techniques needed to make each elaborate outfit. We often forget about them don’t we?

I hope the series (yep, its part of a four-part series!) helps to grow an appreciation amongst us for all the hands, work and talent that are behind a single outfit.

I don’t know much about how high-end Indian designers create their work and if there’s a lower or similar statistic than foreign labels when it comes to worker exploitation. Does anyone know where I can start to find out a little more about this?
