We were given the opportunity to enter a design competition that was based on the idea of fusing modern, Western clothing with traditional textiles and fashion from India to create unique garments that can be sold in the West. I worked in a team with other fashion students, we were in a group of 6 all together, which was great as we all had a variety of ideas and different styles. This project allowed us to collaborate with DIA fashion scholars who are studying in India and they collected relevant research which helped us get a deeper understanding of the type garments worn in different regions in India- it was interesting hearing the meaning behind the symbols that are employed to embellish a garment. The designs below are the outcome of research from the scholars as well as drawings, design development and experimentation with fabric, colour and patterns. Our group's designs were shortlisted which was awesome!
