Saree

A celebration of an iconic cultural staple, Saree is a collaboration between myself, photographer Emily Stein and Filmmaker Alice Stein for Getty Images. Colourful, playful, modern and poetic this series celebrates the Indian Saree and the multi generational women who wear it. At more than 5,000 years of existence, it is considered to be among the oldest form of garment in the world.

Emily enlisted stylist Janine Eveson, to style the shoot in collaboration with the women we featured and worked to create a fresh and fun approach experimenting with bold patterns and textures. We also interviewed the women we cast within the series on what the Saree represents to them personally, its history and how it feels to wear this garment, which you can hear in the film.In the age of inclusivity, the Saree feels like the perfect garment for celebrating all shapes, sizes, and ages in beautiful and unique ways.
