She said: "The OnlyFans thing happened two days before teachers were on a picket line at the school gate."
"The sari is often understood here [in the UK] as something that's worn for special occasions, or worn by previous generations, but it's not just confined to those settings," said Priya Khanchandani, the show's lead curator.She added that the sari was "a dynamic garment", which was always evolving and which many younger women were experimenting with.
The touring exhibition has been created by the Design Museum in London and Birmingham is its only other stop in the UK.The luxury saris on show include a replica of a garment made for Lady Gaga in 2010, for which the Mumbai-born fashion designer Tarun Tahiliani used a fabric called foil jersey.The show also contains saris that women have used to make a political statement, such as one of the pink saris worn as a uniform by the "gulabi gang", a women's vigilante group formed in the early 2000s in the state of Uttar Pradesh in northern India.
The MAC is hosting an exhibition called Sari Stories alongside the main show, where people across the Midlands share their memories of wearing saris.Ms Khanchandani said the ways in which women draped their saris was also an area where trends kept changing.
The exhibition includes a sari draped like a hoodie, as well as videos that show the different ways to drape the garment.
"It's a single piece of unstitched cloth so it's quite malleable," Ms Khanchandani said, adding that this made it possible for both fashion designers and ordinary women to experiment with it.Chef Poppy O'Toole added: "Thank you Norma for giving so many of us fun and comfort over the last few years.
"You are and forever will be an icon."Jess and Norma were also regular visitors to Marshall's Yard shopping centre in Gainsborough, Lincolnshire, where they switched on the Christmas lights last year.
In a tribute to Norma, a spokesperson for the centre said: "Norma switched on the lights, but it was her wonderful personality and smile that truly lit up the yard."A theatre show based on the tv series Peaky Blinders is returning to Birmingham for its final run of shows.
