Fashion industry sustainability and design trends

Overview

Recent fashion industry events in India have emphasized sustainability, circularity, and the integration of traditional craftsmanship with modern design.

At the FDCI Lakmé Fashion Week in Delhi, the Kering Generation Award debuted in India through a partnership with Reliance Brands Limited. The award aims to recognize businesses tackling environmental and social challenges in the luxury sector. Ashita Singhal of Paiwand Studio received the first Indian edition of the award for her work in transforming pre-consumer textile waste into new materials via handloom weaving. The event also included the R|Elan Circular Design Challenge, focusing on reclaimed materials.

Further developments in the Indian fashion scene included a spring/summer 2027 collection by the label Péro. Created in partnership with Barbie, the collection utilized Indian textiles such as Banarasi brocade and Mashru stripes, while incorporating recycled plastic wire to create miniature baskets inspired by Tamil Nadu techniques.
