<p>The much-hyped Dior Fall 2023 show, held at the Gateway of India, Mumbai, on Thursday, was a celebration of Indian culture and its women. And, the most beautiful part of the entire presentation, envisioned by Dior's creative director&nbsp;Maria Grazia Chiuri, was the classical music being played live as the models sauntered down the catwalk in gorgeous ensembles.</p>

<p>The woman behind the tabla was none other than maestro Anuradha Pal, who is a tabla virtuoso, multi-percussionist and music composer acclaimed as the first professional female tabla player in the world by Encyclopedia Britannica and the Limca Book of Records.&nbsp;She left us all spellbound with her soulful music and gave us goosebumps as we witnessed the show unfold at the historic monument.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Her story is one of fortitude, courage, commitment and creativity. As&nbsp;a child prodigy, she started giving solo tabla performances&nbsp;on Doordarshan and All India Radio when she was just nine years old.&nbsp;She countered unfair chauvinism and&nbsp;discrimination with rigorous study,&nbsp;hard work and grit.</p>

<p>Catalyzed by her own experiences and struggles, she founded the first-ever all-female Indian Classical music band, Stree Shakti in 1996. With this initiative, she wanted to provide a platform to other deserving women who otherwise wouldn't be able to shine in a male-dominated industry.</p>

<p>There were hues of purple, pink, green, beige, cream, blue and everything in between. The wholesome collection had something for everyone. Seeing the wide range of styles including shimmery&nbsp;partywear to chic tailored co-ord sets, we can say that the diverse collection was meant to cater for one and all.</p>

<p>Right before the show, the creative designer gave a glimpse of how the collection was perfected by Chanakya's ateliers.

Get ready to discover the wonders that await, live from the magnificent and historical Gateway of India in Mumbai! A final hint comes from inside the @Chanakya.In ateliers, where a variety of impressive techniques are precisely mastered by the embroiderers' skilled hands. © Video: @MelindaTriana."

Dior arrived in India on Thursday (March 30) to showcase their Fall 2023 collection and made history by turning the Gateway of India into a gorgeous ramp. It was regal, elegant and deeply engrossing! Perfection is what Dior's creative director Maria Grazia Chiuri showcased with her latest stint. Models strutting down the runway with a backdrop of classical Indian music which also had hints of contemporary tunes was a treat to watch. The collection, itself, was one of the best so far from the European luxury mega brand. The standalone show saw many attendees. From B-town, we saw Sonam Kapoor, Ananya Panday, Anushka Sharma and a few others marking their presence in gorgeous ensembles. Watch the entire Dior Fall 2023 below!

The wholesome collection had something for everyone. Seeing the wide range of styles including shimmery partywear to chic tailored co-ord sets, we can say that the diverse collection was meant to cater for one and all. Right before the show, the creative designer gave a glimpse of how the collection was perfected by Chanakya's ateliers. The caption of the video reads, "It's nearly time for the #DiorFall23 show by @MariaGraziaChiuri! Get ready to discover the wonders that await, live from the magnificent and historical Gateway of India in Mumbai! A final hint comes from inside the @Chanakya.In ateliers, where a variety of impressive techniques are precisely mastered by the embroiderers' skilled hands. © Video: @MelindaTriana." Check it out below. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Dior Official (@dior) The collection will be available in stores from late April. Some pieces of the collection are embellished with intricate embroidery by Chanakya, a Mumbai-based atelier led by Karishma Swali and a craftsmanship school for women. The Atelier has supplied surface ornamentation for a number of European luxury brands and couture houses over the years. Chanakya has also produced several monumental set pieces for some of Chiuri's Paris shows. The symbolic value of the brand staging a major fashion show at the historic monument in India is significant, similar to when Fendi staged a fashion show at the Great Wall of China in 2007. For Chiuri, however, the motivation is more personal. In a conversation with BoF, she previously shared "Fashion is much more than 10 minutes on the runway. It’s all the people that work together on this incredible project. I am doing this show for my love of this country, and how much they support my creativity. It is really something very personal."
