The Malai Sustainable Collection Of Accessories And Apparel Made A Lasting Impression At Lakmé Fashion Week 2020
Circular Design Challenge presented the winning “Malai” collection in collaboration with Reliance Industries Ltd.’s R|Elan Fashion for Earth, Lakmé Fashion Week and United Nations Environment programme at Lakmé Fashion Week 2020 Digital First Season Fluid Edition. “Malai”, the accessories and apparel collection, made a stunning impression among sustainable fashion enthusiasts.
When Susmith Chempodil and Zuzana Gombosova of “Malai” won the 2nd Circular Design Challenge at Lakmé Fashion Week Summer/Resort 2020, their collection inspired by the life cycle and ecology of the coconut palm was truly a unique concept.
The label’s solo collection at Lakmé Fashion Week 2020 Digital First Season Fluid Edition was a grand expo of how bio-composite material, based on Bacterial Cellulose grown on water from mature coconuts and natural fibres, could be an alternative to leather for fashionable accessories and garments.
