Airport looks, politicians dressing in ideologies, learning how Indians fashion their selfhood and much more were discussed at the #Delhi launch of Shefalee Vasudev's Stories We Wear with Shrayana Bhattacharya and Vivek Mansukhani.

A meditation on myth and mirror, fabric and facade, skin and screen, Shefalee Vasudev's Stories We Wear examines the ways in which we dress our identities, conceal (or reveal) our histories and curate our contradictions.
A book that perfectly represents the stories India wears.
Now in bookstores.
