Modi's State Dinner Gifts to Bidens: A Celebration of Fashion, Culture, and Diversity.
The state dinner hosted by the Biden administration for Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi became an unlikely celebration of fashion, with high-profile fashion figures such as Ralph Lauren, Reem Acra, and Dior creative director Maria Grazia Chiuri in attendance. The presence of these designers suggests that the Biden administration may be building a more formal bridge to the fashion industry. The designers' appearances also highlight the importance of quality and artisanship in fashion, challenging biases around European craftsmanship.
