Nilesh Mistry, a Mumbai-born illustrator now based in north-west London, won the top prize with his Sari for Harrow. The five metres of silk show Harrow’s coat of arms and the famous public school but also the “real” Harrow – an exquisite border of its citizens including a Somali woman in a Burka, a hoodie with a mobile phone, a Gujarati housewife, a Polish builder and Afro Caribbean woman and a mullah.

  1. Not my cup of tea, but I appreciate the designer’s chutzpah in utilizing a saree to artistically render local, daily real-world realities. Good show.
