Anchita’s Redress Design Award collection, ‘Flowers and Revolution’, is inspired by the symbolism of flowers as beacons of peace. Delicate floral motifs intertwine with bold statement pieces, creating a visual representation of modern times. The collection utilises a wide range of waste including upholstery fabrics, hand-painted silks, leftover materials, and natural dyes from coffee and iron rust. Anchita uses the dyeing techniques of bandhani or shibori to blend in motifs from textile waste rescued from a hand-painted silk studio. To encourage keeping pieces for longer, each garment includes a mending kit and recycling information integrated into labels.
