INSPIRED BY INDIA: HOW INDIA TRANSFORMED GLOBAL DESIGN/ PHYLLIDA JAY

Jay Phyllida has written a cultural historian and fashion anthropologist work that delves deep into the influence of India on design worldwide; this book, published by Roli Books, is a gorgeously illustrated tome that tells the story of how India's opulent aesthetics, crafts, and philosophies have phenomenally impacted design movements on the continents-from textiles and fashions to furniture, interiors, and luxury objects.

The book proposes a carefully researched but richly illustrated journey through the histories to showcase how motifs, techniques, and materials originating from India have traveled across boundaries to inspire designers, artisans, and creators around the world. Chintz, paisley, and block-printing traditions and Mughal influences in architecture and decorative arts are discussed by Jay in a contemporary global context.

Through stunning images and expert insights, Inspired by India traces the dialogue between Indian tradition and global innovation, including collaborations, collections, and the revival of Indian craft in the luxury market today. It is a tribute to India's enduring cultural legacy as well as an engaging design resource compelling the reader to ponder how history shapes today's visual language.

Designers, collectors, curators, and cultural inquirers find this book indispensable; it celebrates both the deeply rich creativity of Indian heritage and its abiding impression on global design sensibilities. The impeccable layouts and deep narratives contained therein compel a spot on the shelves of all who place great worth on culturally invigorated design.
