Brad Pitt's Indigo Shirt In The F1 Movie Has An India Connection
Costume designer Julian Day styled Brad Pitt in an organic cotton shirt designed by 11.11/eleven eleven.
Brad Pitt's off-the-track look in his latest movie, F1, has an India connection.
In a crucial scene in the movie, F1, Brad Pitt was styled in an Indian label, an 11.11/ eleven eleven indigo organic cotton shirt in Tangaliya weave.
11.11/eleven eleven, spearheaded by Mia Morikawa and Himanshu Shani, is renowned for its use of indigenous cotton and 100% natural dyes.
The indigo organic cotton shirt in Tangaliya weave is made in handspun, handwoven indigenous cotton with supplementary bead motifs in the weft in ecru and yellow colours.
The blue colour of the shirt is obtained by natural indigo, which is dyed in 100 per cent fructose-based fermentation.
Tangaliya is an indigenous hand weaving craft, native to Surendranagar and Kachchh region in Gujarat, where coloured threads are twisted onto a group of two to three threads of warp, creating dana or beadwork.
Each bead or dana lends itself to creating the whole motif, which is visible on both sides of the fabric. The motifs are inspired by some traditional forms taken from everyday elements, such as water, a well, among others.
The 100 per cent cotton shirt is meticulously crafted by 8 artisans in 9.20 hours.
Styled with a pair of classic blue jeans, Brad Pitt looked effortlessly stylish in the shirt. F1, released worldwide in theatres on June 27, also stars actors Damson Idris, Javier Bardem, and Kerry Condon in prominent roles.
