New Delhi (India), October 30: With a Mantra of ‘Khadi for nation, Khadi for fashion’ Khadiology as Fashion show was organized in Mazgaon Mumbai at St. Peter’s School. Khadi holds a significant place in India’s history, as it has been associated with the country’s struggle for independence and is considered a symbol of self-reliance and sustainability. Celebrating India’s heritage textile, Khadi, KVIC in collaboration with Kamala Ankibai Ghamandiram Gowani Trust has announced its “Khadiology as Fashion” show to resonate with the vision of ‘Vocal for Local’ and ‘Atma Nirbhar Bharat Abhiyan,’ as envisioned by Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
The event featured a remarkable Khadi fashion show, where school students graced the runway in exquisite Khadi ensembles. The “Khadiology as Fashion” show aims to emphasize the enduring appeal of Khadi in the world of contemporary fashion and promote the use of this eco-friendly, handspun fabric.
The show featured a vibrant and diverse range of Khadi outfits, showcasing the versatility of this fabric. Students from St. Peter’s School, Mazgaon, walked the runway, demonstrating the timeless charm and elegance of Khadi clothing. This event seeks to inspire the younger generation to embrace Khadi as a fashion statement, thereby supporting local artisans and promoting sustainable fashion choices. In alignment with the ‘Vocal for Local’ initiative, this event showcases the beauty and versatility of Khadi, a fabric deeply rooted in Indian tradition.
