Google-themed sari at Delhi mall

Dave sez, "Spotted this Google-themed sari in a fancy shopping mall in Gurgaon, India (the tech hub south of Delhi). I couldn't get the backstory because (proving that India is nearing Western standards in every way!) a guard started rushing over to bust me for taking pictures."

I guess it really is true, what they say: Working for Google means never having to say you're sari. Link (Thanks, Dave!)

There's something Halloween costume about this, but there's also something "we're gonna eat you alive, first world" about it too.

Well if you take a close enough look you see a business name on the "Google" search bar.. My guess is that's the store's way of advertising you can shop from their online store.

Just a guess though.

This reminds me of the "clothes of the future" in Idiocracy with product logos all over them.

Welcome to the future!

going by the visible text in the search text box at the top ("shop.satya"), a google search (heh) found the designer and sari.
Satya Paul, the artist, has more fun stuff on his website: http://shop.satyapaul.com/ .
