As a Sri Lankan with great enthusiasm for our heritage and culture, I desired to investigate local fashion phenomena in the context of the history of Sri Lankan fashion at a local university. The dress of people of a country designates its authenticity as the dress of women is of utmost decipherable. Thus, my PhD research focused on the studies of Twentieth-century dress variations of Sri Lankan women. I am truly grateful and fortunate that the Faculty of Graduate Studies of the University of the Visual and Performing Arts gave me the courage and support to fulfil my doctorate with much satisfaction. It accommodated academic freedom for me to conclude my studies with passion. As a result, I have explored a lot throughout the research.
