An interesting sight this season was Australian model Shanina Shaik’s outfit that included a jacket inspired by the mirrorwork and embroideries from Kutch, complete with pompoms and ethnic silver jewellery. What inspired the designers to utilise this thread embroidery remains a mystery.

The motifs of Kutchi embroidery had an international outing earlier when celebrated footwear designer Christian Louboutin created colourful embroidered heels with his famous red soles.
