Designer Shaina NC will exhibit around a dozen tussar silk saris, which would be a fusion of her own designs as well as ones inspired by the weavers of Jharkhand. Shaina NC is known for her dedicated efforts to promote Indian handlooms. She will be presenting her collection for the first time at AIFW.
Celebrating a decade in India, the fashion brand Vogue will showcase 55 modern day narratives of Indian traditional drapes.
Sally Holkar, Founder of WomenWeave and The Handloom School said that the handloom weavers need and deserve a platform where their skills and rich heritage can be showcased and where weavers can learn about their markets.
This show is a great opportunity for The Handloom School graduates and its future students to synergize the potential of traditional and modern textile design.
A common thread of Indian handloom and textiles is binding all designers together at the show.
