For LFW X FDCI Lafaani worked with kala cotton, hand crafted embroidery, and reached out to a company in Mumbai which recycles flowers waste from Haji Ali and Siddhivinayak temple.

Since the time Drishti Modi and Rashmick Bose launched the Lafaani label three years ago the brand has come a long way. They had a firm belief to design 100 per cent bio degradable clothing for both sexes.

The event’s jury included renowned industry figures such as Sara Sozzani Maino of the Sozzani Foundation and designer Anavila Misra, reflecting the Challenge’s growing international recognition.

Their collection “Meadows” was multifunctional in shades of deep olive, sage green, yellow, blue and Kora. There were
light weight separates with prints and embroidery like French knots, Bullion knots, lazy daisy stitches and kantha.

Drishti Modi and Rashmick Bose’s slow fashion label Lafaani which works extensively with indigenous cotton fabrics was announced as the runner-up.

The winner and runner-up will be mentored by Orsola de Castro, Co-founder of Fashion Revolution & Creative Director of Estethica; and this influential partnership will provide invaluable guidance to the designers.
