Promotion and reinvention of khadi have been the focus of many fashion showcases over the years, and once again, khadi took the centre stage at the ongoing FDCI X Lakme Fashion Week. Khadi and Village Industries Commission (KVIC) and the Fashion Design Council of India (FDCI) collaborated for a fashion show, where a group of designers presented their collection. Participating designers were France’s Mossi Traoré, Abhishek Gupta Benares, Anavila Misra, Anju Modi, Charu Parashar and Rina Dhaka.

Sunil Sethi, Chairman, FDCI, said, “I think cooperation, collaboration, alliance have emerged as the keywords to focus on during the pandemic. It is great to join hands with KVIC and work with our designers for the promotion of khadi. With this showcase, we aim to bring to the fore khadi’s true potential and promote it at global platforms.”

Kangana Ranaut, who walked the ramp as a showstopper, added, “It was a pleasure to be back on the ramp, and that too for something so special. Now that the whole world is talking about organic, sustainable fabrics, we all should take this opportunity to promote our Indian fabrics like khadi. Khadi should be our identity.”
