Presentation on Mughal costumes
January 25, 2021
Islamabad:For those of you who are interested in fashion/history, the Asian Study Group has organised a presentation on Mughal costumes, prints, motifs and their representation in contemporary art on Friday (January 29).
The presentation will explore symbolism rooted in the costumes of the Mughal court – their prints, motifs and representation in the contemporary urban context particularly in musical videos and films. The contemporary media industry has tried to preserve the distinctiveness of the traditional attire through a lively exchange of experimentation that embraces a fascination for the nostalgic past, characterised with an indefinable balance of compositional elements, ideas, tonalities, moods, dazzling colors and floral ornamental aesthetic.
