Swati sharan

One can never go wrong with a saree

Abstract The initial project focus intended to break down cultural barriers through the designing of fashion, inspired by both Indian and Western culture. However, whilst the concept of cultural fusion remained, the project began to shift as research led to an awareness and interest in the need for sustainable fashion. This project examines zero-waste pattern-making techniques along with the recycling and repurposing of used Indian saree cloth. Recycling practices are not a new trend in Indian culture, and zero-waste practices are embedded in the history of garment making. Such practices could be seen through the draping of the saree.
