#ELLEFashion: We live in a globalised world and thereby arises the need for accurate representation. International celebrities, celebrities with Indian roots and those with desi blood are not just claiming their space but are celebrating it the right way. Recently, the VP of The United States, Kamala Harris, hosted the biggest Diwali bash with more than 200 prominent Indians in attendance. Highlights included performances by sitarist Rishab Sharma and dance troupe The Sa Dance Company—the starry event saw diaspora celebrities dressed in their ethnic best. Apart from this party that was seen as cultural reset, many popular Indians from the entertainment business had their own soirees marking the festival. But this change hasn’t happened overnight—more and more Indian designers are bridging the gap and showcasing internationally, making their creations more accessible to consumers and celebrities overseas. From Anita Dongre, Sabyasachi and Tarun Tahiliani to Falguni Shane Peacock and Papa Don’t Preach—the best of Indian designers were in contention to win the who-dressed-more-celebrities-this-Diwali contest.
