Divakurani’s short story‚ "Clothes‚" recounts the story of an Indian woman‚ Sumita‚ as she begins an arranged marriage that takes her to America and introduces her to an entirely new life.

Are clothes important for everyday life? What should I wear today? Didn’t I wear it yesterday? Does she like it? Am I cool? Everyday questions! Questions that we ask ourselves every morning‚ once we get up‚ when we go out to school or work‚ before we meet friends or just when we have to go to the store.

Is it the haute couture gown painstakingly made by hand that parade down the runways at London‚ Paris and New York Fashion week‚ or is it the top brands that can sell a simple t-shirt for two hundred euro?
