Abstract: The oldest traditional arts and crafts are facing many challenges. On the other hand, the contemporary art of garment making is experimenting with new motifs and styles with new inspirations. Modern fashion is greatly influenced by the arts. Art has affected the best apparel in the world. The best illustration of this is in Mondrian›s clothing. The influence of visual arts and works of artists can be seen in the works of Indian designers like Satya Paul, Manish Arora, Manish Malhotra, and Anita Dongre. Western art influences Indian fashion yet Indian textile designer Gaurang Shah draws influence from traditional handicrafts and Indian art. Fashion has become more well-known internationally in recent years. To increase the value of Indian art, the collection has been created using an interdisciplinary approach. A direct representation of classic art has undergone design developments by employing miniature painting techniques on fabric. Supporting the fusion of two distinctive Indian arts is the fundamental goal. The execution method, which is derived from one more Indian art form, distinguishes it from previous works done in the field of fashion. This design collection was inspired by Jain manuscripts, which are works of art that depict oral histories through text and images. Jain Manuscripts have emerged as a way to comprehend the subtle blend of Indian art and fashion design collections. This collection uses illustrations as design motifs on outer jackets while paper inscriptions are transferred onto fabric to create Western-style tunics. The core colour palette for the collection was based on the colour scheme of the manuscripts. In total, the manuscript has become the look of the collection. To justify the reflection of the direct manuscript images, silhouettes were kept basic but beautiful. By promoting Indian art, the target market of -30–20year-olds is determining the global fashion trend. It is distinctive due to the idea of promoting one kind of Indian art through another. Indian art may provide creative approaches to sustain traditional textile arts and crafts. The participation of fine artists who engage in handicrafts allows for direct transformation. Artists will reap greater financial and aesthetic benefits with these innovative patterns and themes. This collection will promote Indian art globally. However, Indian fashion will have innovative ideas and a variety of wardrobe possibilities. Future generations of fine artists and artisans will have more opportunities to pursue their interests. It will not only provide new design solutions for fashion collections but also promote Jain manuscripts and Miniature paintings of the Pahari school, the classical Indian art forms.
