India Intimate
Fashion Week Season 2
concluded in Mumbai on April 22, 2018 with a grand fashion show by ace
designer Rasshmi Solankii whose collection ‘Khadinarra’ made with the fabric
that is the pride of the nation ‘Khadi’. The resort wear collection showcased
Jackets, Skirts, Shorts & Bralets in interesting cuts and patterns perfect
for wearing to a corporate meeting or a wedding by the beach.
The show highlighted creativity and
sustainability at the same time with attires made from khadi cotton and khadi
silk, a natural fibre, dyed with vegetable, flower & leaf extract. The
buttons used too were made of coconut shells and the accessories of sea shells.
While curating the collection, Solankii made sure it was as close to nature as
possible.
Talking about the collection Solankii
said, ‘My collection is an amalgamation of Khadi which has the ability to keep
cool in summers and warm in winters. The
challenge was sourcing the fabric from various Khadi Gram Udyogs as no two
samples are alike much like our fingerprints.’
On why she called her collection
‘Khadinarra’, Solankii mentions, ‘Khadi continues to be special in many ways
for me as the world moves towards industrial, fast fashion. Its the fabric of
freedom that continues to generate income for the poor, especially women who
contribute to 70% of khadi artisans.’
Since she used the fabric of the
nation, Solankii’s showstopper too had to be someone who had made the nation
proud and so it was Thakur Anoop Singh, actor, pilot, athlete & singer who
went on to become India’s first Mr. World in 2015.
About the collection Anoop said, ‘It’s
my privilege to be be associated with a brand & show that boasts of how
rich Indian culture and heritage is. I think more people should be aware of how to buy Khadi fabric and clothes made from the kadhi. What’s even better is that designers like Rasshmi are
making such amazing and chic patterns that make this clothes very on trend. Now
this is sustainable fashion in its truest sense.’
