Designer uniforms for Swat personnel
Mr Soni said the entire process of designing the uniform took him four to five months of research and brainstorming.
New Delhi: For fashion designer Ashish N. Soni, designing uniforms for the “first all-women Swat team” of the Delhi police has been a journey full of excitement and pride.
On August 10, the 36 women commandos of the Delhi Police’s Special Weapons And Tactics (Swat) unit, were formally inducted and also displayed their blue-coloured uniforms.
The northeastern women, who form the SWAT, were happy to don the designer uniform that would help them in shattering the various misconceptions about people from the northeast.
Mr Soni said the entire process of designing the uniform took him four to five months of research and brainstorming. “It was quite a process from start to finish — from small small things like buckles, to getting the right manufacturers involved, getting approval from the officers in the force,” he said.
