From bandhani’s to block prints, LFW Day 2 was all about raw textiles. Also called Textile Day, day 2 highlighted the skills of craftsmen from towns like Kutch, Pollachi and various other cities from all over India. The designs and garments on display weren’t only visually appealing but also contributed to the upliftment of local artisans.
Many designers collaborated with local craftsmen and embodied their skill into modern-day silhouettes and edgy styles.
