BRAND NEW
ECO FRIENDLY SUSTENANCE
Fashion designer, Ritu Kumar will soon
be foraying into the world of eco-
friendly creations with the showcase
of her AW’20 collection at the finale of
Sustainable Day at Lakme Fashion Week
2020. The veteran designer will be seen
collaborating with the Austrian fiber
brand, Lenzing Ecovero, to create iconic
laid out prints.
Talking of the association, veteran
designer Ritu Kumar said, “‘Sustainable
Living’ is one of our core values and
we are proud to partner with Lenzing
Ecovero to showcase Nature’s Origami
at the Lakme Fashion Week. Our aim
is to provide trend-setting styles made
of sustainable viscose fiber; a shift to
responsible fashion. We believe that
our creative outlook and Lenzing’s
commitment will result in contributing to
a healthier environment.”
Nature’s Origami is engendered on the
central theme of tribal and contemporary
Indian art forms which allude to nature
and rejuvenation. The collection is a
culmination of four stories – Mrinalini
Mukherjee’s exhibit at the MET, Neo
Origami, Flora & Fauna, and Sundarvan.
Owing to Mrinalini’s work with knotted
textiles, the capsule encompasses fabric
manipulation and the revival of age-old
textile techniques.
