sethi’s style statement had three top designers — Anamika Khanna, Rajesh Pratap Singh and Rohit Bal — showcasing their khadi designer wear at ‘Huts to High Street’, a fashion show organised by FDCI in collaboration with the Gujarat State Khadi and Village Industries Board at the Sardar Vallabhai Patel National Memorial in Ahmedabad.
The fabric, which has come to be looked upon as the attire of the jholawalas and meant to be crafted only into loose kurtas to be worn with Kohlapuris — is back in fashion. Singh has created cropped jackets, boyish shorts and dungarees out of what is usually considered too rough a fabric to mould.
FDCI board member Anju Modi says,“In all the razzle-dazzle of fashion, khadi is like a lone warrior that has its own voice.The beauty of the fabric is that it doesn’t get crushed and absorbs colour beautifully.What it needs is a design quotient so that it gets the boost it deserves.”
