Priyal Turakhia presented capsule collection '’Could Be'’ for brand ‘Nirantar’ on The ReFashion Hub

14th July 2021, Mumbai:

The capsule collection ‘Could Be’ launched by Fashion Forward Fellowship winner Priyal Turakhia for her brand Nirantar on The ReFashion Hub will go on sale later this year.

As per Fashion Network, created with the aid of the Rs 1 lakh ($1,342.90) grant received as part of the Fashion Forward Fellowship prize, Turakhia’s collection is made using plastic waste.

Turakhia worked with a group of artisans in West Bengal’s Siliguri to incorporate elements of single-use plastic into hand-woven organic cotton from Kutch.

The collection features wearable separates and dresses with delicate prints achieved by a zero-dye method to address the issue of water pollution.

The Fashion Forward Fellowship describes itself as India’s first fashion fellowship which focuses on water stewardship.

The fellowship’s panel of judges who chose Turakhia as the winner included Nonita Kalra, Nimish Shah, Tina Tahiliani, Akshay Tyagi, and Parmesh Shahani.

Turakhia was awarded the fellowship from a group of eight hopefuls who all received mentoring on their sustainable fashion concepts.
