Fashion is akin to the wind- it comes with varying intensity at various times and changes the very direction of the scene it blows over. Now amid so many labels, boutiques and designer stores all around, there has to be one aspect of fashion that has been sealed never to change. It is here that we recall the humble saree that has seen centuries between itself – only to remain a fashion fave among generations across ages.
