As Anaita shared the pictures on her Instagram account, she talked about the outfit in her caption and wrote, “For this year’s Met Gala theme of “The Garden of Time”, Rahul and I set out to depict nature’s glorious and bountiful lifecycle in this custom look for Isha, which took over 10,000 hours to complete… This look embraces sustainability by incorporating elements from Rahul’s past collections. Delicate samples of flowers, butterflies, and dragonflies were meticulously integrated from the archives into the design, via distinct applique and embroidery techniques, such as Fareesha, Zardozi, Nakshi, and Dabka, as well as French knots. Together, all of these elements carry a powerful narrative about the state of the planet and offer a message of hope and rebirth. The magnificent look was intricately hand-embroidered at Rahul Mishra’s ateliers across several Indian villages, supporting hundreds of local craftspeople and weavers.” (Met Gala Themes For Last 5 Years)

Isha carried an exquisite Jade clutch bag crafted by Swadesh using the ancient Indian art forms of Nakashi and Miniature Painting to accessorise the outfit. It featured an Indian Miniature Painting created by Jaipur artisan Hari Narain Marotia, a traditional art form that has been practised in India for centuries. Despite its small scale, the painting is highly detailed and expressive, featuring India’s national bird, the Mayura.
