Earlier, the Office of the Development Commissioner for Handlooms, under the Ministry of Textiles, organized a fashion event titled ‘Breathing Threads’, highlighting the timeless beauty of Indian handlooms in contemporary silhouettes.

The event, held at the amphitheater in Bharat Mandapam, was organized in collaboration with Vaishali S Couture, Vaishali S Threadstories Private Limited, Mumbai, and coordinated with the Handloom Export Promotion Council.

The show featured fabrics woven in villages from five states—West Bengal, Madhya Pradesh, Uttar Pradesh, Karnataka, and Rajasthan. Twenty models presented 30 different looks, showcasing seven traditional weaving techniques: Chanderi, Maheshwari, Jamdani, Khun, Benarasi, Kota Doria, and Murshidabad. Each weave was creatively enhanced with unique textures and cording, adding to the artistry of the presentation.
