Khadi to make a mark on the ramp
This diarist remembers the first time she walked in to Khadi Bhavan in Fort. After a quick scan, our mind raced at the possibilities of the change that a design intervention would bring to the rich handwoven pieces available at dirt-cheap rates. It seems our wish has come true. The opening show for the Sustainable Fashion Day at Lakme Fashion Week Winter/Festive 2018 will be presented by Khadi and Village Industries Commission (KVIC).

The organisation has collaborated with four designers to showcase collections created with hand-spun and hand-woven khadi fabrics made by artisans in Telangana, Madhya Pradesh, Chhattisgarh and Punjab. The designers include Lars Andersson, Buna, The Third Floor Clothing and Jewellyn Alvares of Jule Bridal.
