Dear readers,
It is amazing to feel this sense of gratitude when people start recognizing your work and especially when you get an invitation to be a part of an incredible international platform. That feeling of seeing your hard work coming into fruition is such a wonderful and gratifying feeling. I would always cherish this opportunity that I got to showcase my first ever 100% organic made in Nepal collection at the Khadi show – the future of fashion, organized by the fashion council of Bangladesh.
Their main motive is to promote green, clean energy textiles and sustainable fashion. I loved how their annual event is inclusive and they are trying to bring marginalized people in the mainstream of economic activity. I had the chance to meet such amazing personalities during the three-day event; it was an eye opening experience. I learnt a great deal about slow fashion movement, preserving long-standing traditional techniques and to safeguard natural old heritage fabrics from early extinction.
I do believe that with the fast fashion having massive environmental impact, it’s high time we focus on slow fashion and take a pause on mindless overconsumption. I was more than happy to get a chance to be able to be part of a platform with such an incredible cause and social message .
About the collection:
My collection was titled “pure allurance ”. This name was chosen because for the first time I was working on a fabric that was hand crafted with pure natural fibers and dyed in natural colors. I wanted to make sure that it was all ‘au naturel’ in every sense.
I chose two specific colors, which have always been my absolute classic favorites to work with i.e.: red and pink. I wanted the collection to evoke this deep intriguing quality of panache while portraying a modern women of today flaunting the age old heritage fabrics with a bold sense of style and making a statement with the vibrant colors. I was happy to receive a lot of compliments that night and most of them were curious about the composition of the fabric and also how I interpreted it as a modern wear given that a lot of people or designers used khadi in a more traditional or fusion wears only.
Overall, it was a beautiful night I will never forget and so thankful for all the Bangladeshi models for flaunting my designs so beautifully on the ramp.
Grateful heart!!
That’s all for today’s special post.
Until next time,
Love & Luck
