Met Gala, one of the most talked-about fashion events for fund-raising, witnessed several top Hollywood and Bollywood celebs acing the fashion game at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City on Monday.
Turns out Met Gala 2023 has its own India connect: the iconic beige white carpet with swirls of red and blue was in fact woven by artisans from the southern Indian state of Kerala.
Kerala-based design studio, Neytt by Extraweave, led by two Indian designers, Sivan Santhosh, and Nimisha Srinivas, are the masterminds behind the 'Made in India' carpet.
It took the artisans around 60 days to complete the carpet which was made from sisal fibers and painted by designers in the United States.
