It’s no secret that almost all of the world’s leading brands have at one point been inspired by India and many continue to use the finest materials available only in India. In an honor to recognize globalization, Prada’s “Made In …” project features collections from around the world marked by the special tag specifying the country’s name.

The “Made In India” collection features handmade garments featuring chikan work as well as bags and footwear with traditional weaving technique.

Here’s your first look.

P.S. It’s great to see Prada openly acknowledge the products with the more accurate where it’s made at even though it is for a limited series. It is no secret that many brands still do hide the fact. Read Vir Sanghive’s in-depth article about it here.

There wasn’t a clear winner in this case of ladies layering it up but there definitely was a clear loser! Egad at Monikangana. Those leggings, those pointy badly-clashing-red pumps and the awful red lips to match. Disaster from head to toe!

The blazers/shorts day look wouldn’t go very well with the designs that Deepika had to sport at the jewellery store event and that’s why she changed, but then we don’t think the dress worked either. Definitely not with those thong-style flip flops. Thankfully, she swapped them for Ferragamo pumps for the night event. Either ways, the day look was sooo much better.

Being that Harper’s and Cosmopolitan are owned by the same group (India Today), we didn’t think this would happen. But, it did. And now that it has, you know the question. Which pic do you prefer?

P.S. We don’t have rights to post all the images but you can catch Kat’s spread here and Sonam’s here.
