    Summary

    Muzaffar Ali (a painter and filmmaker) and his partner Meera Ali (an architect) are a designer duo who created a fashion label Kotwara in 1990, mainly with a purpose to revive traditional craft from the Awadh region of India.

    The designers are innovators and the innovation stems from an understanding of the ethos of the region and the understanding of the modern-day relevance of the traditional crafts. Since the start, the designers have also re-invented classical crafts from different parts of India like Kashmir, Bengal and Kerala.

    Kotwara Label

    In the designer’s own words: “It started with my first film Gaman, which was on migration. When I was making that film, Smita Patil used to say: ‘When you feel so much about these people, why don’t you stay and do something here?’ That film has become an eternal truth for me. An eternal truth for society also. We haven’t been able to address our rural aspirations”.

    Based out of Vasant Kunj in South Delhi, Kotwara by Meera and Muzaffar Ali, their boutique, offers bridal wear. The bride has the whole wedding almost planned in her head and everything is perfect for her.
