      <image:caption>KUR’s collection utilizes handmade lace in traditional patterns across the majority of the collection. While the collection is decidedly contemporary and aimed at a Western fashion forward customer, the lace used is entirely traditional. Designs embellished with handmade lace inevitably have a boudoir aesthetic, eliciting the softness of glimpsed diaphanous lingerie and nightwear. Kasuni’s collection, however, transcends the usual ethereal lingerie references, revolving around crisp white cotton shirts and dresses, made from men’s pinstripe shirting and tufted Swiss cotton with the lace inserted in panels and stripes, used as a trim, or stitched together to make up the entirety of the garment.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>The Carla Fernandez collection features the work of a wide variety of artists from outside of fashion and textiles. Fernández works across a wide range of techniques, processes and skills, employing hand dying, hand weaving, embroidery, drawn thread work, and much more.  The range spans pieces made entirely by hand, to pieces made entirely through industrial processes, with the commercially produced items counterbalancing the artisan heavy pieces and produced in small, mostly women run family workshops in Mexico.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Producing locally has resulted in an entirely traceable supply chain, with every step undertaken in Florence Alabama or as close as possible to. Certified organic cotton is tracked from field-to fabric through a barcode system that is applied to each bale, meaning every finished garment can be traced all the way back to the farm. Cotton is ginned in Texas, then transported for spinning into yarn in North Carolina. The spun yarn is knitted into fabric by a fourth-generation family owned and operated mill in South Carolina. Dying uses low impact cold water processes then the fabric is shipped to Florence Alabama where it is used to create new products.</image:caption>

Her creations are timeless, highlighting the quirks and anomalies that arise out of the process of creation. Pieces are not season specific, and silhouettes are developed to accentuate the detail of the craftsmanship. Natural fabrics like silk, cotton, and linen form the base, which is then stitched into free-flowing versatile silhouettes that are size inclusive.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Hand stamp batik is a combination of using a hand carved stamp to apply the wax with the freehand application using the tjanting. This combination of techniques is quicker and more suitable for repeat patterns, resulting in a more cost-effective finished product than the exclusive use of the time-consuming hand drawn method.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Retention, exploration, development and expression of craft are the reasons behind the Swati Kalsi collection. With a deep respect for the history and culture of Indian handcraft, Kalsi uses Sujani as the jumping off point to explore new potential directions while respecting the tradition and the innate creativity of the artisans themselves. Kalsi walks the fine line between retention and reinvention of material culture based on respect and collaboration. Few people manage to carefully and respectfully manage the past and the future of craft while valuing the artisans and translating their skills and traditions into sophisticated products suitable for a global luxury consumer, but Kalsi does. Kalsi’s work, borders on couture, and is firmly embedded in the luxury marketplace.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>The collection consists of fluid silk slip dresses and coordinates paired with textured hand knitted sweaters from Peru and luxurious hand loomed ponchos and wraps from Chile, many featuring traditional woven borders and patterns. The artisanal ponchos are made from noble materials from the Andes, including cotton, merino wool and alpaca. Items are designed collaboratively with indigenous Mapuche women artisans living in rural poverty in Chile. Giving the artisans creative licence in the development process has led to successfully bridging the gap between traditional artisanship and contemporary fashion.</image:caption>

Famous for their 350-year struggle against the Spanish, the Mapuche are fiercely independent and were never conquered.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>VOZ provides artisans with a living wage, not just a better wage, thereby affording just compensation for every textile woven and garment sewn. They also offer artisans a stake in the company, making them co-founders and owners with the ability to shape and adapt their own work. The Mapuche master weavers infuse each design with generational knowledge and symbolic designs and patterns creating a haven for cross generational practice and supporting the retention of familial tradition and weaving know how. The collection is a celebration of female artisanship and indigenous tradition.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>A visit by Sherman to a small village in Goroka to meet a community of weavers, was the starting point for Among Equals. Ignited by her passion for textiles and craftsmanship, she was so inspired by the weavers she met, that she agreed to fund a community led initiative to empower the artisans to develop the necessary skills to compete in the global marketplace.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>By paying the weavers a premium for their Bilum, every purchase helps to provide a regular income for the weavers and their families, with profits reinvested into the community. Among Equals mission is to empower more and more Bilum weavers to affect enduring economic and cultural change and amplify the craft by bringing Bilum to a global fashion audience. As a female led brand, they are united in their effort to support marginalised women, by providing artisan weavers with a platform to sell Bilum globally.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Handcrafted through intricate weaving techniques, the craft of Bilum is passed down from mother to daughter. The word itself translates in Tok Pisin, the official language of PNG, to womb, with the bags traditionally used as cradles for mothers to carry their babies.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Natural dyes come from plants, with ochres and berries used extensively in the weaver’s colour palette. This considered approach is a testament to the skills of the women as well as to their philosophical approach to a holistic process using natural and recycled materials.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Stories - Pero - Make it stand out</image:title>
      <image:caption>Based in New Delhi, Pero pieces are instantly recognizable. Drawing inspiration from textile artisanship from around the world, the brand has its own distinct signature expressed through the riot of craftsmanship utilized to produce the collection. The men’s, women’s and children’s collections transcend boundaries between gender, age and geography, and has been described as “lavishly simple and staggeringly complex”. .</image:caption>

      <image:title>Stories - Pero</image:title>
      <image:caption>Based on a love of craft, the collection sells in 35 countries through a network of 350 stores worldwide. Ridiculously cute, Pero’s visual imagery is childlike and playful, but the artisanship utilised in each piece is no joke. A riot of colour, print and pattern, everything is embroidered, embellished and appliqued. The real beauty in a Pero dress however is often hidden, it’s the tiny contrasting hand stitched hem, the weighted metal button tie attached with a ribbon and the contrasting fabric facing.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>While Arora’s early travels in Gujarat educated her to the importance of craft and its makers. “When I work with craftspeople, I stay with them, I eat with them. It informs me about why that craft is what it is. A craft is made up of the place it comes from. If you take those people out of their space and context, it’ll become a skill, not a craft.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Stories - Noir Mud Silk</image:title>
      <image:caption>Marcella Echavarria’s first introduction to mud silk was in a Beijing restaurant, where a fellow guest swished by her table wearing a pair of mud silk pants which flowed like water over her legs, while emitting a tantalising rustle.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Stories - Noir Mud Silk</image:title>
      <image:caption>The discovery of the process is attributed to local fishermen who used yams to make their fishing nets stronger, and to prevent rotting, which turned their nets black when exposed to the iron-rich mud of the Pearl River Delta.  The combination of yams and river mud lead to their use as a dye stuff for the production of mud silk.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Stories - Noir Mud Silk</image:title>
      <image:caption>Once the silk is dry, it is coated with a layer of mud, swept on by artisans who spread it across the entire length of the top face of the fabric. The ferrous sulphate in the river mud creates a chemical reaction when it comes in contact with the vegetable tannin of the yams. The fabric is then rinsed in the Pearl River Delta only to be laid out to dry and be coated again in mud. This process is repeated between thirty and forty-five times, dependent upon the desired depth of colour, with the entire process taking months to complete.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>The Noir Mud Silk collection is timeless, unstructured and made in one size. Unadorned with unnecessary trims or design details. The true beauty of the material is the main feature, with fluid, minimal shifts, shirts and wrap jackets, showing it off to best advantage. Pieces are masterfully produced to honour the rich cultural heritage of the material and the skill and labour of the artisans that produce it. Seams are French or flat felled with all edges clean finished so that garments can be worn either side out, taking advantage of this beautiful, double face fabric.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Skills development is still the core of their work, and they offer a variety of development programmes in craft practices and slow fashion manufacturing. The women are paid a fair wage, fifty percent higher than the average income for similar work across India. They also have shorter workdays, enabling the women to fulfil their familial responsibilities. The Saheli Women actively work to remove employment barriers for women through skills training, transport assistance, health insurance, on-site childcare, and self-managed scheduling, creating a safe and welcoming workplace, free from discrimination.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Many women in India have restricted rights and access to employment opportunities in the villages. In marriage women are expected to fulfil their role as wife and mother, caring for the family and taking care of domestic duties. Saheli Women recognize that women play a crucial role in sustainable development and believe that fashion must empower women. They are committed to an ethical fashion system that recognises the transformative potential of female empowerment, placing their workers first and striving to produce ethical fashion that generates a sustainable income for their workers.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Since Madhu believes the current fashion system has to change by removing common power dynamics in the workplace. The atelier revolves around the needs of the women, as opposed to the other way around. Women are not expected to conform to the western norm of workplace practices, instead the workplace revolves around their needs. At any given moment there are women sewing, breastfeeding their children and threading each other’s eyebrows. There are no schedules, the women get their work done in their own time.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>The Saheli Women use traditional family methods to resolve any conflict over a cup of chai. There is no HR as a buffer between employer and employee but instead an encouraging regenerative method of conflict management, with no chain of command. Ultimately this way of working has fostered a sense of purpose where everyone is responsible for each other. By removing the patriarchal hierarchical structure, Saheli Women offer a space for women to run things the way they want, resulting in more collaboration and greater accountability.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>After 9 years of Saheli Women producing slow fashion for international fashion brands, they launched their own independent collection in 2024.  The ‘dhora’ collection, which translates to desert, takes inspiration from the beauty of the Rajasthani Desert where the Saheli Women’s slow fashion studios are located. Incorporating the sand-coloured tones and the vibrant pink sunset hues, the beauty of the arid landscape inspired the fabric in the collection, which features long flowing summer peasant dresses with strappy shoulders and flowing hemlines, alongside back tie tops, a quilted vest and flowing skirts. Each item is vegetable and floral dyed, creating a harmonious colour palette of rich coral to pale peach, burnt orange and luscious tones of pink in hand loomed cotton, pure linen and fine silk. Prices are accessible with tops from $54 US to skirts at $140.</image:caption>

Female teachers and students are forbidden from returning to secondary school, to work, to appear on TV, or even just go for a walk in the park. Nevertheless, Zarif still manage to operate their workshop. The work has slowed but they still make around sixty-one, of-a-kind pieces per month mostly sold through pop up events in Paris and New York, or directly online through their website.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Stories - By Walid - By Walid is a British fashion label specializing in contemporary pieces for men and women made from exquisite upcycled antique textiles. Established in 2011, founder Walid Damirji’s creations extend beyond fashion into the home with covetable patched and pieced soft furnishings, furniture, and sculpted heads. His distinctive aesthetic is instantly recognizable, often featuring kantha style running stitches that reinforce the fragile and damaged textiles by attaching them to a stable backing material of wool, linen or khadi cotton, creating spirals, circles, waves, and geometries in the process, which he poetically names rain, butterfly and falling brick patterns. The more discoloured and damaged the textiles, the more Walid likes them, finding value and beauty in turning discarded materials into aspirational designs.with an idea.</image:title>

      <image:caption>The British-Iraqi designer uses a zero-waste philosophy to construct his designs, ensuring every precious scrap of the heirloom textiles are utilized in making shirts, hats, bags, shoes, and fine art. Traveling the world like a textile anthropologist, he gathers exquisite material relics, each more precious than the next, assembling them into exquisite concoctions that traverse continents and histories. The collection is not seasonal, and Walid prefers to work locally which inevitably raises the price of the end product. “I don’t feel I have to reinvent the wheel every season”.  His very first jacket from fourteen years ago is still available for order. He recycles ideas constantly, with a recent return to a range of jackets developed from upcycled 19th century opera gloves, an idea he first pursued years prior, he works and reworks ideas again and again. There is inevitably an innate finiteness to working with materials in limited supply, allowing each design to be defined by the textiles themselves.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>The homeware line began a little before COVID lockdown and helped sustain them during that difficult period through an increased interest in luxury lifestyle products. The entire team worked from home, helping to sustain them as individuals as well as By Walid as a business, when so many others were losing their jobs and closing their businesses. The team now consists of between eight and ten people, with duties divided between material processes and admin depending upon skill sets. Walid operates two separate workspaces the creative and the process driven, one where the fabrics are cleaned and repaired - a job that requires space, and the other where they are dyed, stitched, fixed, and finally recombined and created anew. Creation is a collaborative process with ideas bounced off the team. They operate like a cottage industry.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Despite his success, it’s been an uphill struggle to grow the business. When he first started there was little understanding of upcycling, with each design and material combination different, his work didn’t fit into the usual buying system where duplicates of each style are purchased for resale. Now, with a much greater understanding of waste, more retailers are interested than ever before, and Walid is constantly approached to collaborate on upcycling projects, line extensions and new products concepts.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Palestinians are the world’s largest stateless community (US News, 2024). In the wake of the current iteration of the Israel Palestinian conflict, Palestinians have been displaced in enormous numbers, with about 1.9 million forced to feel their homes in the past few months alone, and 33,000 killed by air and artillery strikes. The ongoing conflict has resulted in around 7 million Palestinian refugees around the world, many thousands of whom were forced to flee from the 1948 Nakba (refugees International, 2024).</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Having fled their homes, refugees leave behind their entire lives. Some fled before completing their education, while others are highly skilled professionals struggling to use their skills to gain employment. According to the International Rescue Committee, giving artisans a job allows refugees to build social and professional networks, become active participants in their community and contribute their valuable skills.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>At the core of the work SEP do, is hand embroidery with techniques and traditions that represent the cultural heritage of the refugees. They help to protect, treasure and celebrate those traditions by combining Italian style with Middle Eastern craftsmanship. SEP operate four stores, one in Geneva, one in Milan, another in Berlin and the third in Amman, as well as an eCommerce website that sells a range of luxury fashion and home accessories. The work they do results in real change in the lives of the 500 craftswomen they work with, granting them self-sufficiency, a sense of pride, self-esteem and dignity.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Since their inception, SEP have worked with over 800 artists, with an impact documented as improving 87 percent of artisan’s mental health. They pay 50 percent higher than the market rate, offering benefits and performance-related bonuses. They have provided more than 160 pairs of glasses to artists and 849 of SEP artists children have attended after school activities through the SEP Academy since 2019 alone. The SEP Academy was founded in the Jerash Camp in 2016 in collaboration with UNHCR, where they train hundreds of refugees in the art of embroidery.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>The collection revolves around the iconic Palestinian Keffiyeh, traditionally produced in classic red or black in well-established patterns, which is augmented by a range of non-traditional colourations produced in Jordan by one of the last Keffiyeh producers. New patterns and designs are inspired by traditional Islamic geometry, relating to theological and mystical thought, with patterns built on combinations of repeated squares and circles with overlapping and interlaced designs forming intricate and complex patterns and tessellations.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Traditional Palestinian patterns continue their traditional ceremonial and heritage roots, helping to maintain tradition in a refugee camp far from home. Traditional poppy, flame, rose, star, and Murano embroidery patterns keep histories alive of village life, steeped in ancient history, with each style, pattern and colour linked to a region, or village, expressing marital status.</image:caption>
