Luxury brand Prada acknowledges inspiration from Indian craftsmen and Kolhapuri footwear at their show in Milan after massive online backlash; here's what happened
In their statement, the brand said 'Prada acknowledges that sandals inspired by traditional Indian footwear made in specific districts in Maharashtra and Karnataka, India, were featured in its Men's 2026 Spring Summer show in Milan.' read more Luxury brand Prada was under social media scrutiny after the footwear they unveiled at their Spring/Summer 2026 show in Milan was inspired by the Kolhapuri chappals designed by Indian artisans and craftsmen. And the fashion brand failed to give them their due credit. These footwears are primarily designed in the states of Maharashtra and Karnataka. In their official statement, the brand was quoted saying, 'Prada acknowledges that sandals inspired by traditional Indian footwear made in specific districts in Maharashtra and Karnataka, India, were featured in its Men's 2026 Spring Summer show in Milan. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD We are committed to responsible design practices, fostering cultural engagement, and opening a dialogue for a meaningful exchange with local Indian artisan communities as we have done in the past in other collections to ensure the rightful recognition of their craft. We are in contact with the Maharashtra Chamber of Commerce, Industry &Agriculture on this topic.' Netizens react One said, 'This is not called inspiration it's called rebranding that's it. The designs used by Prada are not theirs it's a very old design more than a 1000 yrs old.' A second said, 'What the hell inspired they are kolhapuris and this is violation of our IP.' What next for Prada? Sant Rohidas Leather Industries & Charmakar Development Corporation (LIDCOM), which shares geographical indication (GI) certification for Kolhapuri chappals with Karnataka's LIDKAR, is taking the legal route after the blunder on the brand's part.

3rd public display ever for rare Dali etchings at Victoria Memorial Hall
1 2 3 4 5 6 Kolkata: The Victoria Memorial Hall has put on display two colour etchings of Salvador Dali, the only originals of the Spanish Catalan surrealist master that any museum or gallery in India possesses. The twin Dali works were among 83 original drawings, etchings, lithographs, and opaque watercolours that the New York-based Kolkata-born artist Bimal Banerjee had donated to VMH authorities in 1990. The etchings in colour are on copper plates, printed on Japanese rice paper, and signed by the artist in pencil. This is only the third time that they are being displayed in public. The two previous occasions were in 1993 and 2014. The exhibition is currently drawing art lovers and will be on till the end of July. "The two untitled colour etchings of the 'Macbeth Series' signed by Dali have been displayed in the central hall to celebrate the enduring legacy of museums and the genius of one of the most iconic artists of the 20th century," Victoria Memorial Hall secretary and curator-in-charge Anurag Kumar told TOI.

Banerjee, an accomplished artist, told TOI in 2014 that Dali presented him with the etchings. He said he donated the works to VMH to ensure that budding artists could get a chance to view original masterpieces by modern European masters.
