Abstract
Raja Redux reflects an Indian-American heritage by blending tradition and modernity. Inspired by the saree’s pleating and draping with the structured masculinity of menswear oxfords, this design symbolizes balancing cultural identity and new influences. The design pays homage to Rajasthan’s saree draping style (Kaamya, 2019) while incorporating traditional block printing and sheesha embroidery (Ganguly, 2013). Drawing from designers like Siddhartha Tytler, Jugnu Lahore, and Suketdhir, the design fuses fashion, merging cultural craftsmanship with Western silhouettes. This garment celebrates Indian sartorial history while reinterpreting it through contemporary formalwear, honoring heritage while embracing innovation.
