Inside NMACC : A global influence around the
world
The Centre NMACC (Nita Mukesh Ambani Cultural Centre) aims to promote
Indian arts and culture, and aims to be the big stage for the same. It is a
dedicated multi-disciplinary art and culture space and also aims at identifying
and promoting new talent.
The exhibition, hosted by Hamish Bowles, Vogue global
editor at large and The World Of Interiors editor-in-chief,
features over 140 iconic costumes and pieces from India, global brands and
fashion houses, tracing more than 200 years of the subcontinent’s contribution
to the global fashion sensibility. The costumes, from Chanel’s long brocade
coat and matching trousers and dresses created for Lady Mary Curzon, to
Christian Louboutin heels with phulkari work and Sabyasachi’s embellished lehnga-choli,
are either completely or partially made in the sub-continent. They have either
been loaned by museums like New York’s Metropolitan Museum of Art and Toronto’s
The Royal Ontario Museum, or belong to private collections.
What makes this
exhibition unique is that India never hosted such a fantastic and creative show
that brings together so many Indian inspired costumes under one roof.
