I observed the same when I recently visited Guledgudda, a small but historically rich oasis of fabric in Karnataka, where the art of the centuries old weave “KHUN” has been close to death.
Despite being a symbol of cultural and spiritual significance for centuries, the modernity has shrunk KHUNN to just a few looms today in a small village called GULEDGUDDA in Karnataka. Thus, this collection BISRA (Forgotten one) is a desperate attempt to seek attention of the fashion world to the charismatic charm and glory KHUNN inherits.
The collection is a modern interpretation of traditional aesthetics and exploration of relevance to contemporary understanding of global fashion. The collection is a compilation of modern silhouettes to translate the glory and deep cultural significance of the textile KHUNN. The color story includes pink, orange, green, red and a few more bright colors as identity of khand.
