India&#8217;s supercharged economy has brought a parade of posh international designers to the capital that offer miniskirts and skinny jeans to one of the world&#8217;s largest markets.<\/p>\n<p>But the emblem of Indian glamour is in the throes of a comeback, and these women had come to the DLF Emporio mall to attend &#8220;sari school.&#8221; They hoped to learn some of the 108 ways to drape a sari from the grand aunty of the garment: Rta Kapur Chishti, a textile historian and sari stalwart.<\/p>\n<p>Noting the demise of the kimono in Japan and the Chinese obsession with global brands, many Indian designers consider saving the sari a point of cultural pride, said Chishti. The young are re-igniting the spark of interest in the traditional garb.
