Explore the hidden language of fabric, colour, and embroidery in Bollywood films and their deep roots in South Asian history and style.
About this Event

Whether you are into film, fashion or just love a great outfit, this talk will open your eyes to how cinema and style go hand in hand. Discover the hidden language of fabric, colour and embroidery in Bollywood films, and its roots in South Asian history.

Every notice how a Bollywood costume can tell a story even before a character says a word? From bold colours to intricate embroidery, Bollywood films use fabric to bring authenticity to the screen. Join us for a fun look at how costume design in iconic films like Mughal-e-Azam and Jodha Akbar does more than just look good - it sets the tone, shapes the story, and even influences fashion trends across South Asia and beyond.

Presented by Royal Ontario Museum (ROM)
