“There is something very poetic about the chaos over here,” says Freida Pinto of her hometown, Mumbai. “It’s hard to explain to someone until you immerse yourself into the city and experience it for yourself.”
some insight into the best places to visit in the city. On her agenda? Visiting her former school stomping grounds, admiring some of India’s craftsmanship and artisans, and of course, taking in the new fashions from Dior designer Maria Grazia Chiuri, too., visiting her alma mater St Xavier’s College was essential. The star has fond memories of studying at the institution, which is known for its striking architecture. “It’s the Hogwarts of Mumbai,” Pinto says. “It is a very old college.
After touring the school grounds, Pinto then headed over to her second stop of the day – a field trip to thewhere many artisans have studied the art of hand-embroidery and beadwork. There, Pinto was able to see where some of the looks in Dior’s new pre-fall 2023 collection were made, before they even hit the runway later that night. “Dior has a longstanding relationship with this place,” says Pinto. “The brand has such a strong relationship with the artisans in India, and Mumbai specifically.
Though she concluded her busy day in Mumbai with a glitzy fashion show, Pinto’s advice for first-time travellers to Mumbai is decidedly simpler. “You should definitely eat – eat a lot of food,” Pinto says. “There’s so much amazing food here; I highly recommend the street food if you can.” She also suggests that the best way to admire Mumbai is just to sightsee without any strict plan.
