The beginning of this week, brought with it, a rush of excitement at Anita Dongre, adding yet another foreign dignitary to the list of the brand admirers. Joining Kate Middleton, The Duchess of Cambridge, Queen Mathilde of Belgium, Sophie Grégoire Trudeau, The First Lady of Canada, Hillary Clinton, Former First Lady of the United States and the most recent, Ivanka Trump. She was seen at the Rashtrapati Bhavan this morning on the Trump family’s first state visit to India.
Speaking about the garment, Anita Dongre says, “Ivanka is wearing a sherwani made out of handwoven silk from Murshidabad, West Bengal. It is timeless, and such a classic – We created this style twenty years ago and it’s amazing to see how beautifully relevant it is even today. A powerful, standout silhouette, a sherwani carries the same charisma in absolutely any colour but my personal favourites are the evergreen blue, white and black.”
