'Definitive' - Drapers Record 'A must' - Fashion Weekly 'Excellent' - The Birmingham Post

Product Description

An illustrated survey of the sari, the unique south Asian textile tradition. Covering the entire Indian subcontinent and including remote and restricted tribal areas such as the north-east, it provides analysis of thousands of sari types from different cultures around India. The simplicity of the sari - an untailored length of cloth measuring between four and nine metres long by approximately one metre wide - is set against a wide variety of fabrics, colours, patterns and draping styles. There are diverse regional traditions of colour, pattern and weave, analyzed here through a six-fold division of the Indian sub-continent: the West, the East, the North-East and the Himalayas, the Eastern Deccan, the South and the Western Deccan. Each section is accompanied by a display of photographed sari types. There is a detailed analysis of sari design, giving a guide to the symbols, patterns and motifs used, together with their origins and information about how they have evolved. Many rare and unusual saris are featured. There are translations given of Indian words and concepts.

5.0 out of 5 stars This is the Definitive Sari Book, 19 Dec 2005

By A Customer

This is THE book on the Sari. It is beautifully and lovingly written, with a treasure of stunning glossy colour photographs as well as large-scale diagrams of various Sari patterns, weaves, folds, and designs in use in specific regions in India. The book is also full of 'insider' and local knowledge about the Sari that you won't find anywhere else -- and the writer's enthusiasm about her subject is completely infectious. Whether you are an artist, are keen on designs and patterns, fabric and weaving; whether you are doing academic research, or just love to sit and turn pages full of the most beautiful photos you are likely to see of the colours of India, this is the book for you! Enjoy!!!
