Skip forward a decade later, the roaring sixties, a hippy era full of rock n roll, swagger and swing. It was our beloved Paisley, with its bohemian aura, ready to usher in the era with its flamboyant connotations and an eastern (well… Indian) connection. From David Bowie and Prince to Jimi Hendrix and Mick Jagger – the biggest icons of music and culture of the time turned to the swirling Paisley motif to make a statement of non-conformity and rebellion. Lastly, it was The Beatles, influenced by a cultural immersion in India, who made the Paisley emblematic of the era and exploded back into vogue. The band was Paisley mad – so much so that John Lennon had his Rolls-Royce painted in the pattern. Mufti’s Paisley Printed Shirts are tailored for a contemporary twist. Whether you opt for a bright coloured tee or something softer in a pastel shirt, the intricate Paisley pattern is sure to add a sartorial flair to your wardrobe.
For us at Mufti, this heritage of the Paisley trickles down to our apparel, providing a perennial inspiration of both – belonging and distinction weaved together in the same fabric. Paisley pushes the envelope. It lets the Mufti Man say “Notice Me” while being silently backed by a global cultural phenomenon and deeply rooted in Indian history.
