French-Indian textile designer brings back ancient Mughal designs on fabric

Description

The French-Indian block-printing textile designer Brigitte Singh carefully rolls out a piece of fabric adorned with bright red poppy flowers that probably belonged to Mughal emperor Shah Jahan from the 17th century. She has in minute detail re-edited that poppy design over the last decades, using the ancestral Indian know-how of hand-block printing in her own Rajasthan print house. Her pursuit to match the refinement of the textiles produced in the past centuries for Mughal emperors and kings in India has brought her the recognition of the fine connoisseurs worldwide, including the V&A Museum in London which acquired one of her 'Atamsukh', a quilted Mughal coat adorned with her fetish poppy flowers.
