Hinduism is rich in symbolism and the color blue — especially in one’s skin— is a symbol of the infinite and immeasurable. Many gods in India are shown as blue-skinned. They include Shiva, Krishna, Rama and more. They are referenced as blue gods because they have attained a blue aura.

I’m not keen on commenting on fashion editorials without having been part of the convo around their creation. I’ve actually had some real run-ins with men in India’s Hindu community over fashion editorials they consider to be blasphemous. These total right-wing nationalists love Donald Trump, so that’s telling you everything you need to know. Women have no real relevance in their world view, and they burned effigies of Hillary Clinton during the 2016 presidential campaign.
