Kurta is a series exploring the dress worn by both women and men in Southeast Asia. A long top, the kurta has become a canvas for the exploration of contemporary and traditional styles, as well as South Asian and non-South Asian fabrics and patterns. The modern kurta is a hybrid dress, one that is inspired by the traditional, but has become so much more.
