Rashmika excited to be associated with Onitsuka Tiger

Rashmika Mandanna talks fashion(IANSLIFE)

Fashion for me is a reflection of my personality with a lot of comforts involved. So to be comfortable and confident in what you wear is the only way to put your best foot forward…reports N Lothungbeni Humtsoe

With the launch of its Spring Summer 2023 Collection, themed “Japanese Minimalism”, the Japanese fashion brand, known for for bringing forth the best of contemporary collections combining fashion with sports and heritage with innovation, announces the nation’s heartthrob and style icon, Rashmika Mandanna as India’s first brand advocate.

Rashmika tells about her association with the Japanese fashion brand and how their contemporary collection resonates with her sartorial sense – unique, minimalistic, and artistic.
Read Excerpt:

You always manage to dress in style, what is that one fashion mantra that you stick by?

My go-to fashion mantra is not to go after trends but to wear what makes you feel comfortable and happy!

What made you collaborate with Onitsuka Tiger? What are your favourite pieces from the collection?

I am extremely excited to be associated with Onitsuka Tiger as their contemporary collection completely resonates with my sartorial sense – unique, minimalistic, and artistic. The brand allows me to showcase all aspects of my personality while experimenting with fashion-forward styles and silhouettes.

From the latest collection, I absolutely love mega anoraks, the oversized coats made of crafted faux fur, tailored, oversized three-button jackets, and coats. These items can also be worn on top of each other to make the silhouette voluminous, but less bulky.

You recently attended the Milan Fashion Week for the very first time. How was your experience and what is that one fashion inspiration that you have taken back?

RM: The experience was nothing short of incredible. I absolutely loved Onitsuka Tiger’s entire Autumn/Winter 2023 collection showcased at the Milan Fashion Week. The theme of the collection was “Urban Layering” representing the central part of Japanese culture – dressing in layers. The new AW23 collection builds on the essence of this Japanese tradition by filtering it through Onitsuka Tiger’s sporty DNA – presenting a collection that, while maintaining its active spirit, is more focused on an urban aesthetic.

Fashion for me is a reflection of my personality with a lot of comforts involved. So to be comfortable and confident in what you wear is the only way to put your best foot forward.

What’s your personal favourite style when it comes to footwear? How important is it to choose the right footwear for your look?

RM: Opting for the right footwear allows me to be confident, not conscious. Choosing the right footwear is such an essential part of everyday life, something so simple that can go such a long way. My go-to footwear style is vibrant hues with modern styling. Onitsuka Tiger’s footwear collection keeps me super-comfortable and super-stylish throughout the day.

Bollywood actress Sara Ali Khan walked the ramp at the Lakme Fashion Week in Mumbai for Punit Balana — a fashion designer from Rajasthan who launched his latest collection which reflected the desert state’s folklore, culture and joy.

Walking the ramp for Punit for Lakme Fashion Week in partnership with FDCI, Sara said: “The collection highlights textures inspired by the Kalbelia community of Rajasthan, their folklore, literature and the culture that not only binds the Indian state of Rajasthan but one that also acts as a bridge between this state and Indian culture in a larger context.

Punit, who hails from Jaipur, says that he draws inspiration from “our rich heritage, the philosophies of culture and the voices from history”.

The audience was treated to an exhilarating live performance by Kalbelia dancers, which beautifully captured the essence of the ‘Utsav’ collection.

With block prints inspired by Rajasthani history, particularly that of the Kalbelia community, and bandhani, the latest collection represented craftsmanship in terms of silhouettes, ranging from classic collection outfits to new, contemporary ones — reimagined lehengas and peplum sets, heavily embellished kurtas for men and many more to suit the effortless sartorial sensibilities of the modern-day woman and man.

Speaking about the collection and his show at Lakme Fashion week, designer Punit Balana says: “For me, what’s most important while designing a new collection are my roots, my surroundings. I never have to look beyond Jaipur and Rajasthan for inspiration. There’s so much about our history that remains untapped and I really hope that one collection after another, I can show people how contemporary our culture can truly be.”

The designs showcased on the ramp were styled along with stunning jewellery pieces from JKJ Jewellers in Jaipur, which complemented each ensemble from the ‘Utsav’ collection perfectly.

Fashion industry, the greatest contributor to greenhouse gases

Who Made My Fabric?.(photo:IANSLIFE)

Every time you buy a Fabindia product you contribute to the heritage of textiles and weaving traditions of India…reports N. Lothungbeni humtsoe

“Sustaining fabrics and weaves are an integral part of our Indian culture,” says Dipali Patwa, Group Head of Brand, Digital, and Community at Fabindia Ltd. In an effort to save India’s textile heritage, the fashion industry has grown significantly, with many brands, including FabIndia, stepping forward to help art, craft, handloom, and weavers towards preservation of textile heritage.

Dipali Patwa speaks about how over the last six decades the brand is restoring India’s dying weaves, while also attempting to empower women in rural areas through the promotion of traditional weaving skills.

How is Fabindia reviving the dying weaves of India?

Patwa: The handwoven fabric in India is a symbol of India’s textile heritage. The art of weaving has been passed on from generation to generation in a weaver’s family. Fabindia serves as a link between the rural artisans who manufacture these dying crafts and the urban customers who want traditional products to wear as well as textiles to decorate their homes. The initiatives at the brand have been aimed at implementing significant efforts in reviving and conserving age-old weaving techniques of our artisan groups.

Community is at the heart of brand’s supply chain. We currently work with craft and artisan groups in Madhya Pradesh for Chanderi and Maheshwari weaves, Rajasthan for Kota Doria, Pattu, Gujarat for Mashru, Tanchoi, Patola, Odisha for Tussars, Bomkai, Sambalpur Ikat, West Bengal for Jamdani, Assam for Muga and Eri Silk to name a few. With design intervention by our product teams and along with traditional classic weaves; also adding contemporary designs for everyday living; The brand effectively opens up the distribution for these age-old weaves and creates a sustainable eco-system for our artisans while supporting their livelihoods.

How is the brand trying to bridge the gap between rural and urban India?

Patwa: Every time you buy a Fabindia product you contribute to the heritage of textiles and weaving traditions of India. Drawing inspiration from our rich traditions and marrying it to today’s consumer needs; The brand for 6 decades has focused on connecting the dots of the grassroots artisans to urban India. Today, the brand works with close to 50,000 artisans.

About 64 per cent of these artisans are women, 89 per cent are based in rural areas, and approximately 70 per cent work from home. The brand links close to 900 vendors with contemporary urban markets, creating vital avenues for sustained, skilled rural employment while preserving and reviving India’s traditional handicrafts in the process.

Our focus is to promote the diverse craft and textile traditions of India and to create sustainable employment in the rural sector while providing timeless, sustainable fashion to our consumers. Educating our consumers via our social media and fab family loyalty platform to appreciate the make in India movement and collectively bridge the gap.

What do you mean when you say, “giving a modern twist to traditional Indian weaves?”

Patwa: Enabling the continuity of traditional weaves is a decades-long endeavour for the brand. This means also listening to our consumers and their changing needs. Just like “Who Made My Clothes”, for Fabindia; “Who Made My Fabric” is the essence of our supply chain and the history of our textiles and our artisans. The wisdom of the inherited weaving techniques that are time-tested has enabled our design teams to work closely with our artisan groups to then infuse new colours, patterns, and shapes into the mix to make it contemporary and relevant for today’s consumer.

Keeping in mind the evolving preference of the younger generation, along with our classic ethnic kurtas and saris; we are also designing everyday comfort wear, smart casuals for work, and western apparel using these signature weaves and textiles. Consider Fabindia to be a leader and enabler for artisan-driven slow fashion, which finally everyone is talking about globally!

Why is it important for the brand to promote traditional weaving techniques? And how is it making an impact in terms of jobs and livelihood for women in rural areas?

Patwa: Indians have strong sentiments and an emotional connection to collecting beautiful fabrics, saris, and shawls. Weaving is one of the oldest surviving art forms in the world and it is a matter of great pride that India has thousands of unique weaving techniques. As the brand bridges the past with the present through our textile traditions; our product teams are the interventionalists to ensure relevance for our community via design experimentation and the skill of contemporisation.

Today our brand works with 50,000 artisans. The meaningful techniques of our fabrics which also supports traditions and livelihoods is a rare process and will remain as the distinct and finest form of human sensibilities.

Who Made My Fabric?.(photo:IANSLIFE)

What is your take on PM’s Modi push for recyclable and eco-friendly clothing?

Patwa: The fashion industry is the greatest contributor to greenhouse gases. To achieve the NetZero target by 2070, we need to look at Sustainability at a much broader level.

PM’s Modi call to action for recyclable and eco-friendly clothing is a step in the right direction and will help to steer the brands to start looking at avenues to reduce their carbon footprint. It is also our responsibility as citizens towards our planet earth and for our future generations to create mindful consumption habits.

Sustainable clothing isn’t only about the kind of fabric used to create a garment or the way it is disposed of. It also includes being mindful of the people who work to produce the garment. In simpler terms, sustainable fashion refers to clothes made ethically and in an environmentally friendly manner. From procuring the fabric to packaging the clothes, changes are to be made at every step keeping the goals of sustainable development in mind to reduce the growing burden of fashion on the environment.

The brand is increasing its focus on sustainability and has expanded the number of product lines that create clothing and homeware from recycled goods. Fabindia’s sustainable efforts are also designed to create employment opportunities.

Rakul loves whole Khaadi concept

I think comfort meets style is something that is always going to be in the game…Kiara speaks with Tanya Banon

Actress Rakul Preet Singh is one of the most successful stars in Telugu cinema who has also managed to bag quite a few Bollywood movies over the years, and her popularity in Hindi cinema is ever growing. The star was recently spotted in Mumbai at the ongoing LFW X FDCI event where she walked the runway for designer Shruti Sancheti, dressed in a cool Khadi co-ord set.
On the side-lines of the event, We spoke to the actress to get her views on fashion:

Fashion is finally moving away from athleisure and is back to glamour, what’s your take on this?

No, I think nothing is finally moving away from anything, and I think athleisure is for certain occasions, fashion or different outfits are for different occasions. I think comfort meets style is something that is always going to be in the game.

On Paris, Milan and London runways, we saw a return to the classics, glamour and clean silhouettes, is that something you would consider as your go-to style?

Absolutely, I think for me clean silhouettes, single tone of colours, more minimalistic is something I always feel is the classiest, and it’s great to see that back on runways.

How did you feel walking the runway for Khaadi India and what do you most like about their latest style?

I think what I love about the whole Khaadi concept is that we are breaking the mould of what we believe Khaadi is; a lot of people believe it is a serious sort of a material for a saree, kurta, but through this Fashion week collection, I think the change is Khaadi created for different sort of occasions –like what I am wearing can be worn for anything modern, contemporary, or as separates. I think if the younger generation is more aware of how we can style Khaadi differently and make it more relevant in today’s fashion sense and that’s the most amazing thing about this collection.

Any upcoming projects that you are excited about?

Ofcourse, all upcoming projects of mine I would be excited about, there are 2 films in Hindi that will release this year and 1 film which is PAN-India film.
