Ltd. During the production process, she realized a lot of waste fabric was produced and how so much fabric would go to waste. It was on seeing this plethora of fabric that she started making Garments, home furnishing, etc which would be exhibited at exhibitions. She started thinking and researching sustainable ethical fashion. Looking at a plethora of ‘Waste Fabric’ and seeing infinite opportunities was a kick starter. She said she wanted to explore this concept of what is considered ‘waste fabric’ and how we can use what is viable to reduce the amount of actual unusable waste created, all while maintaining a high design and production standard.
