Exhibition ‘Confluence’ governs the moral quandary of slow fashion Influencers

Bringing more than 20 exhibitors from artisanal clusters and design voices under one roof, New Delhi-based slow fashion and lifestyle brand Indicult unveiled its spring edit at a three-day exhibition at Aga Khan Hall. 
 
With the objective of establishing a link between the audience and handmade craft and design, the exhibition put to display the work of artisan clusters engaged with Benarasi, Chanderi, Maheswari, Kashmir, Nawada, Indigo and Shibori textiles, and slow fashion brand Indicult has collaborated with brands such as Okhai, Rangsutra, Avani, Tamarind Chutney, No Labels, Zo Design Life and Eyecatchers. 
 
Talking about the impact of pandemic on fashion, Meenu Venkateswaran, co-founder of Indicult says, “It’s been two tough years for craft. It’s so encouraging to see people come out in support of handmade and its artisans.” 

Earlier in 2019, the brand had collaborated with the Andhra Pradesh government  and organised ‘Samuhika’ at AP Resident Commissioner Lawns. The exhibition saw 27 textile clusters from across the country and also featured regional food pop-ups and curated regional music performances.

In October 2019, the edition of Confluence at IGNCA had 26 collaborators, including slow fashion, lifestyle designers and master artisans. It also witnessed a specially designed ajrakh installation by Khalid Amin KhatriIn 2019.

Fashion designer across the world are masterminding a welter of solutions to some of the challenges facing their own communities as they demonstrate what we can learn from local indigenous knowledge and how to work within the limits of our natural resources in United Nation Climate Change Conference, last year. 

In the lead up to Cop26, the designers were asked to respond to the climate change talks’ themes of adaptation, resilience and nature for a series of online workshops created by Fashion Open Studio (the initiative set up by Fashion Revolution) in partnership with the British Council.
