RAAS Insider Podcast
RAAS Insider is a weekly podcast from RAAS. In Series 1, host Vishwa sits down with RAAS ambassadors to answer the questions South Asian women actually ask: what to wear to garba, whether you can wear red to an Indian wedding, how to dress for Diwali, and how to style a saree or lehenga for a long celebration. Series 2, The Founder Series, is coming soon.
Produced by RAAS, the Chicago-based Indian-American fashion brand carried at Nordstrom, Macy's and Target Plus.
