These textiles, sourced from esteemed suppliers such as Khadi India and Aaranya/Gwalior (Madhya Pradesh), were the heart of the collection, reinforcing the significance of heritage preservation and the skilled artisans who uphold these traditions.

‘I loved getting to know the Khadi and Chanderi fabrics – there is a lightness, a crispiness, an opulence, and a feeling that there is something behind them- it is the culture of India. Materials can have a soul, and especially fabrics which are handwoven- you see the human touch. There are things that don’t change, they keep their meaning and stand the test of time. India is such a vast country, so rich with history and culture and we are honoured to be showing here at the monumental Gateway of India, “ shared Andreas Kronthaler, Creative Director, Vivienne Westwood.

Following a trip to India a few years ago, through our partners at Vivz Fashion School, I was introduced to the tradition and importance of the Khadi fabrics, known as a symbol of freedom in India. I also had the honour and pleasure to meet Priyadarshini Scindia, the Queen of Gwalior, who also introduced me to the wonderful textile project working with Indian artisans who are creating fabrics using traditional techniques. At Vivienne Westwood we have long championed craftsmanship and heritage and have partnered for decades with local industries and artisans in the UK, as well as in Europe and Africa, and are now proud to partner with the artisanal hand-crafted textile industry of India for this show,” added Carlo D’Amario, CEO, Vivienne Westwood.

Bollywood superstar Salman Khan has partnered with luxury watchmaker Jacob & Co. to introduce an exclusive timepiece within the brand’s prestigious The World Is Yours Dual Time Zone collection. Designed as a tribute to Khan’s father, Salim Khan, the watch symbolizes heritage, family bonds, and a spirit of global connectivity.

The collaboration stems from the longstanding friendship between Salman Khan and Jacob & Co.’s founder, Jacob Arabo. Their shared admiration for fine timepieces and the significance of father-son relationships played a key role in bringing this project to life. A devoted fan of the brand, Salman Khan has often been spotted wearing Jacob & Co.’s signature creations, including the Bugatti Chiron Tourbillon. He was particularly drawn to the inspiration behind The World Is Yours collection, leading to this exclusive edition.

"Time connects us across generations. When I learned Jacob’s story, I knew I wanted to create a timepiece that honored my father’s role in my life. ‘The World Is Yours’ is more than a watch - it’s a symbol of family, legacy, and the moments that shape us,” expressed Salman Khan.

Designed with global travelers in mind, the special edition watch features a sophisticated dual time zone function, allowing independent hour and minute adjustments for two different time zones. This makes it particularly relevant for those navigating unique time offsets, such as India’s GMT +5:30.

The watch’s design incorporates elements reflecting Salman Khan’s Indian heritage. The dial is accented with saffron and green hues, paying homage to the Indian flag, while a finely engraved world map and Salman Khan inscription adorn the case back. Adding a personal touch, the actor’s initials, “S.K.,” are positioned on the lower dial at the 6 o’clock mark.

Enhancing the exclusivity, the timepiece is presented in a bespoke box crafted in Khan’s favorite shade of turquoise—a nod to his iconic turquoise bracelet, a signature accessory he has worn for years.

Individually numbered and produced in a limited quantity, this collector’s edition is crafted for watch enthusiasts who value luxury, artistry, and meaningful storytelling.
