Step into a fascinating world of colour and discover how India’s vibrant cottons inspired global fashion trends, transforming everything from t-shirts to floral prints, with Global Threads: The Art and Fashion of Indian Chintz. Featuring 80 objects spanning 10 centuries and 4 continents, this original Royal Ontario Museum (ROM) exhibition showcases India’s painted and printed cot­tons, revealing their enduring impact on art, science and fashion while uncovering their complicated history of labour and consumption.
