I have seen many videos of architects who are into sustainable space -- most of the time, the guys are in kurtas (with jeans/pants) and have a very laidback personal style. the women are also wearing saris or salwars or kurtis with a very nonchalant / non-glam kind of vibe.
in another I mentioned chayaa nanjappa, a women entrepreneur whose business is honey. because she is from coorg, her business is set in coorg and she works with rural people (tribals, farmers and those from the coorg area) in collaboration with khadi industry (govt outfit that works with promoting rural development), her outfits even in interview pieces reflect that -- she is shown wearing a coorgi style drape of sari.
so people in the space of sustainability, made in india, rural development space generally have a certain style that favours more indian or indowestern wear.
so definitely a bit of dark comedy that every woman in earthcon is dressed in western wear. like I mentioned before, I don't have a issue with western clothes. my issue is that by showing every woman in that office dressed that way, the implicit message is that indian wear is not formal or professional -- that I have a gripe with and that annoys me on some level. 👎🏼
