Beyond recycling: Indian labels designing for a circular future of fashion

Overconsumption&nbsp;and waste are synonymous with the fashion industry

A more conscious approach&nbsp;to consumption,&nbsp;the&nbsp;circular design&nbsp;system&nbsp;is&nbsp;a commitment to reuse things and abandon the concept&nbsp;of using and throwing away products.&nbsp;&nbsp;

With overconsumption at the heart of&nbsp;fashion&rsquo;s endless trend&nbsp;cycles, the&nbsp;industry&rsquo;s waste problem is no secret.&nbsp;
But some&nbsp;brands and organisations&nbsp;are&nbsp;advocating&nbsp;for&nbsp;products&nbsp;that are designed&nbsp;in a more holistic manner. A more conscious approach&nbsp;to consumption,&nbsp;the&nbsp;circular design&nbsp;system&nbsp;is&nbsp;a commitment to reuse things and abandon the 'use and throw' culture.&nbsp;

For a fashion or lifestyle brand, this means&nbsp;designing the waste and pollution out of your production cycle.&nbsp;The intent is&nbsp;to&nbsp;keep materials in use and to regenerate nature.&nbsp;&nbsp;
<h3>Let&rsquo;s take a look at 4&nbsp;new&nbsp;Indian labels&nbsp;designing for&nbsp;a circular future of fashion.</h3>
<h3>LataSita</h3>
Giving old, unused and discarded post-consumer waste a new life, Kolkata-based LataSita&nbsp;turns vintage textiles into new, modern garments. Apart from procuring waste materials on her own, the&nbsp;journalist-turned designer&nbsp;Meghna&nbsp;Nayak&nbsp;also lets people send in their old saris and transforms them into new pieces.&nbsp;&nbsp;
<h3>Bandit</h3>
From&nbsp;used artist canvases, repurposed sails, waste vinyl flex to billboards and waste tarpaulin, Goan&nbsp;brand Bandit makes colourful bag packs, laptop sleeves, skins and other accessories. Winner of the&nbsp;Circular Design Challenge 2021, the brand also encourages people to send the bags back to them after use so that they can be further turned into smaller products.&nbsp;
<h3>Desi Hangover</h3>
Buying ethical leather is a complicated affair. Kolhapur-based Desi&nbsp;Hangover makes shoes using&nbsp;upcycled leather&nbsp;from the waste laid off by the meat industry that would otherwise end up in landfills. Supporting a dying industry, the brand is working to form rural craft clusters through social innovation.&nbsp;
<h3>Paiwand Studio</h3>
Based in Noida, Ashita&nbsp;Singhal's&nbsp;Paiwand&nbsp;Studio makes products with&nbsp;zero-waste handloom weaving and handcrafted techniques. Not just this, Paiwand&nbsp;also works with other&nbsp;design houses to find solutions for their textile waste.

Derived from the word Khaddar, Khadi has a rich history and a bright future. From being a fabric of freedom it has now become Haute Couture.

How Khadi went from being the 'Fabric of Freedom' to 'Haute Couture'

Derived from the word Khaddar, Khadi&nbsp;has a rich history and a bright future. From being a fabric of freedom, it is now counted as&nbsp;Haute&nbsp;Couture.

Known to have been donned by both Nehru and Gandhi, Khadi&nbsp;is part&nbsp;of a strong textile history of India. And at present, it is the most sought after and celebrated fabric in the fashion industry.&nbsp;&nbsp;
<h2>What is Khadi?</h2>
Khadi&nbsp;is a coarse&nbsp;handspun&nbsp;and hand-woven fabric made from natural fibres.&nbsp;Derived from the word Khaddar, the making of Khadi involves converting fibre into yarn using spinning wheels. Made from cotton, silk and wool it can keep you warm in winters and cool in summers.&nbsp;
<h2>Evolution of Khadi</h2>
Khadi's evolution dates back to India's freedom struggle when Mahatma Gandhi revived the fabric and turned it into a powerful political tool against the British Raj. Gandhi with his chakra encouraged the use of the fabric "Made in India," as an effort to improve the socio-economic conditions and make way for self-sustenance.&nbsp;A symbol of the Swadeshi movement, self-reliance and self-respect, the revival of Khadi&nbsp;helped pave India's path to liberation.&nbsp;
Khadi has a rich history and a promising future.&nbsp;From being a "fabric of freedom" it has now made a transition into a "fashion statement." Even big labels such as&nbsp;Sabyasachi&nbsp;have their eyes glued on Khadi.&nbsp;

The fashion landscape is seeing&nbsp;designers who&nbsp;have been quick at adopting&nbsp;the intricate weaves of khadi&nbsp;in the form of shirts, bridal lehengas&nbsp;and even&nbsp;sarees.&nbsp;
<h3>11.11 / eleven eleven</h3>
Known for its use of indigenous cotton, Eleven Eleven label uses heritage techniques such as hand spinning. Founded by&nbsp;Shani Himanshu and Mia Morikawa, the designers&nbsp;work closely with local Indian artisans. Available all over the world, the label has its roots in Khadi.&nbsp;
<h3>Anju&nbsp;Modi</h3>
Founded by designer Anju&nbsp;Modi, the foundation for her design lies in her love for Indian craft and textile. Using techniques&nbsp;she has worked closely with khadi.&nbsp;
<h3>Khanijo</h3>
From jumpsuits to trousers, Khanijo&nbsp;has a wide range of Khadi&nbsp;products to offer. Established by&nbsp;Gaurav Khanijo, the label taps into style while keeping the Indian&nbsp;heritage alive.&nbsp;

Consumed by the fresh scent of freedom, the 1950s had a strong flavour of patriotism. The hand-spun khadi symbolised the swadeshi movement. Cloth sarees draped in different styles or simple salwar suits dominated the scene.
The fashion was largely functional and hints of European influences, especially in menswear, could also be observed. Women like Maharani Gayatri Devi, and Hindi cinema&rsquo;s Nargis, Nutan, Suraiya and Meena Kumari were the fashion icons of this era.
Colourful spirit of the &lsquo;60s
The 1960s was the decade that brought us Madhubala&rsquo;s Anarkali suit and the tiered orange saree on Mumtaz. Moving into a new decade, women&rsquo;s clothing became more fashionable and everyone embraced bright colours and prints.&nbsp;
With body-hugging churidar suits, shorter blouses and a hint of skin on display, the &lsquo;60s were also big on embracing curves. Not to forget, the poufy hairdos, winged eyeliner and the uber-popular Sadhna cut were also from this decade.
Hippie trippy vibe of the &lsquo;70s
Dubbed the &lsquo;decade of decadence&rsquo;, the 1970s were huge for fashion. The decade gave us Dimple Kapadia's iconic polka-dotted blouse in Bobby, Zeenat Aman's hippie look from Hare Rama Hare Krishna, Parveen Babi&rsquo;s scant bikini and Helen&rsquo;s iconic Cabaret feathers. Bell-bottoms, cropped shirts, oversized glasses, platform heels and polka dots were just some of the most memorable trends from this era.
Vivid creativity of the &lsquo;80s
The 1980s were all about the over the top (or OTT) vibe. Blingy ornamentation, big shoulder pads, gaudy colours, metallics, unruly hair and leg warmers &ndash; there was a lot happening in this decade. But this decade also birthed the first generation of Indian fashion designers like Rohit Khosla and Satya Paul.
Bhanu Athaiya won India&rsquo;s first and only Oscar for costume design in 1983 and the National Institute of Fashion Technology was set up in 1986. In Bollywood, Sri Devi and Rekha were the heroines leading the fashion scene.

Cool girls &amp; boys of the &lsquo;90s
The decade that birthed Indipop stars like Alisha Chinai and cult films like Kuch Kuch Hota Hai and Dil Toh Pagal Hai, the 1990s created trends that are still big today. From denim shirts, crop tops, chokers, co-ordinates and overalls to chiffon sarees and oversized shirts, we saw it all in the &lsquo;90s. And leading ladies like Karisma Kapoor, Madhuri Dixit and Kajol, often styled by Manish Malhotra, became the style icons of this period.
Fashion forward face of the &lsquo;00s
The aughts or the 2000s saw many international fashion brands opening up stores in India. Sporting the latest styles and trends was no longer limited to people who had connections abroad. Following in her sister&rsquo;s footsteps, Kareena Kapoor warmed things up with characters like Poo and Jab We Met&rsquo;s Geet.
Super-fitted pieces like tube tops and micro-minis as well as desi fusion outfits defined this overtly sexy&nbsp;decade.
Comfortable mood of the &lsquo;10s
Moving on to the most recent period, the 2010s gave us social media and influencers! We slowly said goodbye to super sexy clothes and welcomed athleisure with open arms. The focus shifted away from celebrity trends and street style gained more steam.
Micro bags, sheer tops, oversized sweatshirts and cycling shorts were the viral trends from the period. Bloggers and Instagram-famous supermodels were the biggest trendsetters.
As the last decade comes to a close amidst a full-blown pandemic, the focus remains on comfort and clothes that look good on social media. The next decade in fashion is poised to be more inclusive and focussed on technological advancements such as smart fabrics and digital-only clothes.

It’s Barbie’s 60th year and a lot of exciting things have been planned to celebrate. To mark both the International Women’s Day on March 8 and it’s six decades, Barbie is launching a new collection of dolls that honour a group of extraordinary women. Celebrities like Yara Shahidi, Naomi Osaka, Kelsea Ballerini, and Adwoa Aboah have been included in the line-up. The collection will honour 20 women from 18 countries. As much as we’d like to own all 20, the collection is not available for purchase.

Desi 'Bathroom Chappals' being sold for Rs 4,250; Hugo Boss stealing headlines for this unimaginable launch launch

Desi 'Bathroom Chappals' being sold for Rs 4,250; guess who did it? 

No not Balenciaga, this time it is Hugo Boss who is stealing the headlines for making a regular item inaccessible. Know what all the fuss is about.

There are a number of things that amuse us and one amongst them is capitalism making regular items inaccessible to people. Well, if you are thinking that Balenciaga did it again, sorry to burst your bubble. This time, it is Hugo Boss. The luxury brand is selling a pair of slippers which look like 'Desi bathroom slippers' for more than Rs 4,000.&nbsp;
Indians are reacting to this by showing off their bargaining skills on Twitter.&nbsp;
Some said even if they were millionaires, they wouldn't buy these chappals for this amount. One of them even commented that they wouldn't pay a penny more than Rs 150 for these slippers.&nbsp;
Like it or not, the slippers caught all attention that they apparently didn't deserve. Congratulations Hugo Boss. :)
