Mini-Sari by Mohanjeet Grewal

She made striking white 'chikankari' kurtas from Lucknow and 'khadi' kurtas, as well as red coolie shirts and pocket vests for men. In addition to being fashionable, Mohanjeet's designs gave Paris a flavor of Indian culture.

Her development of the mini-sari with its bold above-the-knee hemline is among her most famous works. Since its introduction in 1967, French women have sought this stylish piece. Top fashion magazines like Vogue, Cosmopolitan, and Elle featured her gold-rimmed dhotis dressed as stylish wraparounds. Mohanjeet's show stopping fuchsia silk 'gharara' was showcased in Vogue's opening pages, solidifying her position in the fashion world. Her brilliant creation skillfully combined French flare with Indian heritage to reimagine the classic Indian saree as a chic, tiny saree.  Mohanjeet became a household name because of this innovative design, which made her the first designer to introduce Indian themes into the high fashion market in Paris. Her legacy continues to inspire fashion enthusiasts worldwide.
