Vaishali Shadangule Presented \u2018Handloom Couture\u2019 for the Ministry of Textiles on National Handloom Day<\/p>\n

On National Handloom Day, internationally acclaimed couturier Vaishali Shadangule became the only Indian designer to present a \u2018handloom couture\u2019 showcase for the Ministry of Textiles, Government of India, with \u201cNAAD \u2013 The Sound of the Looms.” The retrospective paid tribute to India\u2019s weavers, whose painstaking craftsmanship can take months to create a single garment, and highlighted the country\u2019s rich textile heritage on a global stage.<\/p>\n

Graced by Maharani of Baroda Radhika Raje Gaekwad, Dr. M Beena (Development Commissioner for Handlooms), and Smt. Neelam Shami Rao (Secretary of Textiles), the show featured 52 couture looks, larger-than-life textile installations, and live weaving by artisans \u2014 symbolically intertwining tradition with contemporary couture. ISVARI Jalandhar Jewellery House paired its heirloom \u2018artisanal edit,\u2019 each piece taking over 1,000 man-hours, with Vaishali S\u2019s silhouettes.<\/p>\n

Dr. M Beena noted, \u201cHandloom has been an integral part of India\u2019s rural livelihood, providing employment to over 35 lakh weavers and workers. Over 70% are women, making it vital from a social, economic, and gender lens. Vaishali\u2019s showcase is a step towards adapting these traditions for global markets.”<\/p>\n

Vaishali S said, \u201cWe showed the world that this work is made in India, not abroad. It is art, not just craft \u2014 hundreds of hours of handwork, 100% sustainable, and rooted in unique skills passed down for generations. Our mission is to put India on the global couture map.”<\/p>\n

ISVARI\u2019s Manik Jain added, \u201cThese pieces use an ancient Indian craft exclusive to us. Every design takes over 1,000 man-hours because of the intricate Pichai work that makes jewellery flexible. We are bringing back heritage techniques into a contemporary space.”<\/p>\n

Since 2001, Vaishali S has supported over 3,500 weaving families and explored more than 15 weaving techniques from states including Assam, West Bengal, Rajasthan, Maharashtra, Madhya Pradesh, and Karnataka. Through her showcases and Paris store, she continues to champion sustainable luxury and elevate Indian handlooms on the world stage.<\/p>\n
