'God's Country'is a narrative capsule collection that draws on the reshaping of Indian identity in the aftermath of its colonization. Through Indian black metalwork, pearls, sari-like drapes and hand-dyed heritage Banarasi silk combined with Victorian lace, corsetry, Tudor hoods & veils - this collections seeks to tell a layered story of identity, resilience, and cultural continuity.
The title is a double-entendre that begs the question of who is afforded reverence and authority in complex narratives of power, resistance and survival.
