Being <a href="http://www.paromitadas.com/techpack.php" target="_blank">technical clothing designer</a> and professional commitments and busy work schedule pull us back. However, my leisure times spent on clothing design that brings about some value addition to the weavers community. I grab any opportunity as a fashion designer to help the weaving community and choose to get involved and design cloths as per their textile motifs. The motivation for my fashion studio is to give them platform to showcase hand-loom creation in fashion market worldwide. I have tried to give a different concept to organic cotton evening gown using Bengal Jamdani and Tripura hand-loom fabrics. The acceptance of this fashion concept helps keep their traditional weaving style alive and provide adequate wages to weavers.<br />

I have tried to depict the scope of designer dresses on handloom fabric without compromising glamour and elegance look. Organic cotton died with vegetable die makes it environment friendly and thereby there is no side effects if you wear it for a longer time at any place and any occasion. I have used traditional hand weaved Jamdani cotton with golden thin lurex border. Weaved with all over Jamdani Buti to give a rich look to the fabric. I have taken the tribal hand loom of Tripura with vertical and horizontal stripes with scattered embroidery in different colors for waist band.To give a feminine look I have used bitten Zardosi and crystal embroidery panel as a strap and crystal brooch at the overlap lair. Also have used Mercerized cotton yarn for the waistband tassel and Concealed zipper to give shape and fit.</div>

The Weavers of Basudebpur Shilpa Samiti put their outstanding effort and produce Hand-loom Saris and Fabrics.Their Creativity and optimism to take up any design gives encouragement to think something innovative.. The Weavers are capable to put forth any kind of geometrical designs to a live fabric or sari within no time. This village is near Medinipur West Bengal with population of 400 and 67 families of Tant Weavers having average family annual income of Rs.6685.With Improper communication and minimal Govt Hand-loom Weaving is decreasing rapidly.Feel proud that the dress that I am wearing is giving some people smile in their face and helping weavers who seek the most needed attention. Through my designs I am trying to reach those people who can be of help to them. I feel success if I get to help one of them. We want the Organic Product but the means these products are being produced and how ethical the producers are not taken in to consideration. What they want is the end product. The main purpose is to make the best use of organic cotton and hand weaved fabric and also makes use of the talent who deserves the due recognition for their hard work.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b><a href="http://fashionstudio-urbanpurple.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Fashion Studio</a></b> Urban Purple has been keen to explore the Handloom of various part of India since early 2006. During its exploration we went to the remote area of Manipur and Nagaland where we find the most beautiful craft of Handloom fabric from the looms of the handloom weavers.<br />
<br />
Handloom and Cottage Industry of Manipur is ignored as much as the place itself is in India. They belongs to the same 7 sisters States which are being deprived and almost cut-off from the main land of India. In this section I am writing my experience in working with people of Manipur. Working with people who work on ground level is always been an exiting experience and over a period of time this has become passion to work with them and work with them closely. My Designer Label "<a href="http://www.paromitadas.com/">Paromita Das</a>" is always inclined towards Hand-loom of different parts in India. This is another string of my inclination towards Manipur hand loom and working with modern fashion trend. The creation fits the current fashion and the silhouette would fit for all occasions. Pleats and Frills embellished with fabric flowers enhance the look of the dress. Short dresses always lead the trend! You can find your ideal cocktail and prom dresses in every party. The collection is designed to suit fashion forward people who like to wear dress that they can carry on quite often and fit the bill for all occasion.</div>
<br />
<b>Inspiration:</b><br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>Fashion Studio Urban Purple</b> got opportunity to visit many places as independent and <a href="http://www.paromitadas.com/techpack.php">Freelance Fashion Designer</a> and Consultant. I visited Manipur to consult and learn the use of Manipuri Fabric for modern outfits. There I found the fabrics with fabulous colors, texture also quite Eco friendly and fashionable which can be used for modern cocktail dress and gowns. So the couple of designs which I have incorporated are mainly keeping in mind the handloom fabrics of Manipur. I found these materials have great potential for making dresses which are quite suitable for summer since they are 100% cotton and at the same time give attractive and trendy look if presented properly.</div>

<b>Manipur Hand loom Fabric and its Inception:</b><br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The traditional skill of hand-loom weaving is a matter of status symbol the women folk in the state, also is an indispensable aspect of their socioeconomic status. This is a share of 27.04% of the total weaver‘s population in Manipur. Notable feature of Manipur Hand-loom industry is entire workforce is women. The women are found to be involved in weaving, dyeing, bleaching and trading of finished products and yarn. Apart from cultivation and agriculture, handloom weaving provides the highest employment to women folk of Manipur. This is a natural cluster of handloom it owes it origin to the inherent need of the people of Manipur.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<b>Their Limitations:</b><br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
In Spite Manipur Handloom is most important cottage industry in the state. Around 40% of weavers are idle partially for (a) Presuming that bulk production would not find market.(b) Lack of modern improved design techniques and market awareness. Promoting them in Domestic and International market to provide them work and some extra income and keep them up in the main stream. As an independent and freelance fashion designer a small effort from my end to create awareness of this elegant traditional art of weaving our country stores in it and is slowly diminishing.<br />

Hi Readers hope you are enjoying my posts. This is Paromita Das - <a href="http://www.paromitadas.com/" target="_blank"><b>Clothing Designer</b></a> and Owner Fashion Studio Urban Purple - I am presenting the fragrance of Orissa which gives insight to the Hand-loom of Orissa. This time I have came up with the Hand-loom fabric of Orissa as this is my second Home State. For Fashion Designers worldwide the Hand loom of Orissa gives inspiration with its rich cultural heritage rich fabric and sari. However, to cope up with the current trend and modern women’s need the designers should mold themselves to match the fashion trend and makes it more viable towards the modern world. In my collection “Fragrance of Orissa Hand-loom” I have tried to bring awareness about the rich hand loom of Orissa and how it can be molded to the modern and contemporary silhouettes. This collection is somewhat close to the thought process which I have gathered during my visit to Orissa. In this collection I have used Bomkai mixed with Cuttacki and Ekat. These are the core fabrics of Orissa with numerous variety and flavor.As Freelance Clothing Designer and busy schedule of my design studio work of Tech Pack Design I get little time to fulfill my dream of working with Indian Hand-loom Weavers. However, when I get little time I get associated with them.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>Historical Significance of the Fabric Colors and Motifs</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
"Bomkai" design locally known as "Bandha" design is an Hand loom Technique of Southern Orissa “Sonepur”. The specialty of this fabric is designs on the fabric are created using needle and simple work of needle on Jala (Net Weaving) technique on hand loom. Motifs are influenced by tribal art with Temple patterns border and elegant color palette. The Borders are featured with ornament border. Border motifs are influenced by Temple, Kumbha, Rudraksha etc. Falling Edge of Bomkai fabric pattern on hand Weaved from gold or silver colored silk threads and patters like rukha (pestle, stick), Dombaru, Kanthi Phoola (small flower), Kalera (bitter gourd), Shankha (holy musical instrument) peacock and fish. Bomkai is also famous for Geometrical Tribal Designs. Specialty of Bomkai has its contrast borders, heavy designs with a close relation with Jagannath culture, four basic colors which commonly found on the Cloths of God Jagannath Black, White, Red, Yellow orange and is extensively used in Bomkai fabrics. The design and color palette makes Bomkai stand out.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
This presentation of Orissa Fabrics is just beginning and Our Fashion Studio is working and trying to support the Hand-Loom Weavers Through designs and trying to show how hand-loom can be used not only for saries but also for western outfits. The motive of this blog is to convey and show the benefits, of those Eco friendly fabrics and handicrafts in European Fashion World and also American and other western countries fashion consumers. As a Freelance Fashion Designer and with no other support I have tried to make use of it in the best possible way and there would be a lot more coming up in my upcoming collection.</div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Pollution Control is the most important and priority of the world these days and almost every country is trying to curb pollution some way or other. Food Shelter and Clothing is our basic necessities and to produce them we hurt our world in many ways. One of the way is to produce synthetic clothing that not only hurts our world but also us. Most of the sportswear companies are now using Polyester, Nylon and other synthetic garments and contribute to the pollution. Now what is the solution?</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
The Solution lies in our mother earth itself and it gives numerous avenues. Going back to the old era Cotton Handloom, Silk and Jute and Linen are quite attractive harvests which can be used as an alternative to Poly based clothing. As a Fashion Designer and Garment Manufacturer i always advise my clients who want to produce organic clothing.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
One of the Leading apparel brand from USA now using purely organic materials to produce their garments and they are really appreciated and have great value to their products. <b><i><a href="http://www.paromitadas.com/" target="_blank">Clothing Designer</a> </i></b>and Garment Manufacturers producing the Garments are also benefited. More importantly the farmers who almost stopped producing organic raw materials are now getting back to it. This is a good sign and I hope things will change and we can see a better and less polluted world going forward.<br />
<br />
My Inspiration comes from various things in my life and trying to do good work each day for different brands is an inspiration itself. <b><a href="http://www.paromitadas.com/" target="_blank">Cloting Designer</a></b> and owner of Urban Purple fashion studio. The fashion industry has always enjoyed a casual decadence but a growing global concience has hed a new sense of responsibility that lies in making something productive for a cause and being satisfied.

Hi Readers hope you are enjoying my posts. This is Paromita Das - Owner <b><a href="http://fashionstudio-urbanpurple.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Fashion Studio Urban Purple</a></b> - I am presenting the fragrance of Orissa which gives insight to the Hand-loom of Orissa. This time I have came up with the Hand-loom fabric of Orissa as this is my second Home State. For Fashion Designers worldwide the Hand loom of Orissa gives inspiration with its rich cultural heritage rich fabric and sari. However, to cope up with the current trend and modern women’s need the designers should mold themselves to match the fashion trend and makes it more viable towards the modern world. In my collection “Fragrance of Orissa Hand-loom” I have tried to bring awareness about the rich hand loom of Orissa and how it can be molded to the modern and contemporary silhouettes. This collection is somewhat close to the thought process which I have gathered during my visit to Orissa. In this collection I have used Bomkai mixed with Cuttacki and Ekat. These are the core fabrics of Orissa with numerous variety and flavor.As Freelance <b><a href="http://www.paromitadas.com/" target="_blank">Clothing Designer</a></b> and busy schedule of my design studio work of <a href="http://www.paromitadas.com/techpack.php">Tech Pack Design </a>I get little time to fulfill my dream of working with Indian Hand-loom Weavers.However, when I get little time I get associated with them.</div>

West Bengal has produced the most number of creative people like artists, <a href="http://www.paromitadas.com/" target="_blank"><b>fashion designers</b></a>, singers and many other cultural maestros. One of them which is most ignored is the artisans who weave fabulous Tant saris and fabrics. Bengal Tant is one of the Famous Hand loom that gives its charm mostly in Saris. Tant Saries from West Bengal is famous for its weaving technique and breath ability. However, not so many fashion designers have tried this excellent fabric in outfits other than saris. This is an effort to promote this tant fabric in its usability in modern cocktail dresses and tops. I hope after seeing the collection viewers would change their mindset for not just using this as saris but also for dress materials and cocktail dresses.</div>

In this collection I have incorporated two well know and Most traditional Bengal Tant Hand-loom fabric which is Daccai Jamdani and Tangail. So far this was confined to Saris however, I found it can show its true importance if it is also used for contemporary dresses and gowns. Like I said on my previous post where I have used this fabrics for an evening gown. Being a <a href="http://www.paromitadas.com/techpack.php"><b>Technical Fashion Designer</b></a> and from Bengal it inspired me to do something creative on those hand-loom and also try something which appeals the young and happening consumers. I sincerely feel there is a lot of scope of using those hand-loom fabrics to present the customers with something new which will give a mid way of new stuff and at the same time keeping and growing this traditional culture intact.<br />

The famous of all is Bengali cotton which is famously known as “Tant”. Its considered to be the most comfortable supporting the hot climate. Bengali cotton are commonly called Tant. Its hand woven having bright colors with decorative borders. Triumphing over the trauma of partition, weaver families which migrated to West Bengal in the 1950’s have helped keep alive a priceless heritage of highly stylized weaving techniques honed over generations. The hand-loom industry in the eastern region has had its share of bumpy rides, but Bengal hand-looms have survived the ups and downs to become a household name among connoisseurs of textiles.</div>

<b>DACCAI JAMDANI:</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Daccai Jamdani is distinguished from its mutant cousins by its very fine texture resembling muslin and the elaborate and ornate workmanship. In Bangladesh, weavers use fine Egyptian cotton, while the Indian weavers use only indigenous raw material. The Daccai Jamdani is woven painstakingly by hand on the old fashioned Jala loom, and many take even up to one year to weave a single sari or fabric. These Jamdani, which are literally “woven dreams”, are the most sought after saris and fabrics today.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>OTHER JAMDANI:</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
While the Daccai Jamdani is strictly a party affair, the other Jamdanis are much sought after by fashion-conscious working women for their elegance. These are mostly Jamdani motifs on Tangail fabric and are generally known by the confusing no-men cloture of Tangail Jamdani. Tangail, Dhoneokali, Shantipuri and Begumpuri are other popular styles of Bengal handlooms in the lower price range. Of these, Tangail which comes from Fulia, has a fine texture, with its 100s count fabric and highly stylized motifs, while Dhoneokali is known for its stripes and checks. Over the years, the distinctive patterns have merged as weavers started experimenting with various combinations of design and yarn, so much so, it is now difficult to distinguish between the various styles, unless one is an expert on texture.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Agartala the state capital of Tripura one of the 8 sisters of north east state a place with rich art and culture and mixture of tribal and modern community. Due to its geographical situation the state is less connected to the main land of India. With conservative thought and lack of lucrative opportunity profession as fashion designer was quite a bit of challenge. Every person who has a root in Tripura has a mindset to grow his / her state and make the country aware about the state and its vibrant culture. Handloom of Tripura is one of the integral parts and also contributes to its Gross Domestic Product. So being a <b><a href="http://www.paromitadas.com/" target="_blank">fashion designer</a></b> from Tripura I always feel to make people aware about the handloom culture and its diversity to the people across world.<br />

<b>About My State Tripura Handloom Fabric:</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
RIANG, JAMATIA, TRIPURIA, Chakma, Mogh are among the 19 tribes who weave the traditional Tripuri costume of simple rectangular wraps on the loin or body tension loom in its distinct set of motifs and colors. The loom is light, mobile, ingeniously simple and inexpensive to construct and made of locally available materials like bamboo and wood. Well suited to tribal life and terrain, it is significant as a symbol of the peoples` efforts to remain self-sufficient. The fabrics woven on this loom are narrow and warp dominant. The riah (breast cloth)is woven as a single strip whose width depends on the age of the wearer while the pasra (wrapped skirt) consists of two pieces that are joined to make the required larger width. Other than daily wear, some of these textiles also play a vital role in the ceremonial and ritual life of tribal societies and are greatly valued as heirloom objects. Patterning, which is mostly symmetrical, ranges from colorful stripes running in the direction of the warp, to figurative and geometric motifs woven in supplementary weft that intersperse the ground. Weaving is exclusively a woman`s activity and passed on from mother to daughter, each family weaving to meet its own needs. Traditionally woven using natural dyed cotton, the more commercialized contemporary pieces have almost entirely shifted to using acrylic as a raw material, as it is cheaper and requires less skill in weaving.</div>

<span lang="EN-US">A traditional
Mangalagiri cotton sari is characterized by a plain body with contrasting zari
border. However, by incorporating motifs of elephants, parrots, and even
dancing women in Kalamkari style, and those quintessential to Pochampalli,
these talented Mangalagiri artisans are breathing new life into their dying
craft. (Kalamkari is a method of painting natural dyes on cotton or silk fabric
using a bamboo pen; Pochampalli silk saris are hand-woven and multi-colored,
with distinctive, geometric borders.).There are some designs which are
exclusively used in Mangalagiri fabrics known as Nizam designs. The Nizam
border typically has tiny zari gopurs (temple tops), which run through the
borders of many fabrics. The pallu (falling edge of saree) is embellished with
stripes, created with gold-colored embroidery. But it is in shot cotton that
the real magic happens. The weavers map out the warp yarns and then use
different colors on the weft to create double shaded fabrics. If the warp
threads are yellow, and the weft threads green, red, or orange, the end result
is greenish-yellow, sunset orange, or a deep yellow fabric. This mixing of
colors give unique and durable color to the fabric. Mainly Mangalagiri looms
manufacture sarees, but now in line with the demand, dress materials are also
weaved. It is their ability to create innovative color-combinations in fabrics
that most <a href="http://www.paromitadas.com/clothing-designer/" target="_blank">clothing designers</a> swear by."The Mangalagiri fabric is available in
various counts, starting from the coarser 40s, and going up to the superfine
120s. The fabrics with a higher thread count are almost web-like in appearance.
“The fabrics are being used for dresses for export. The counts range from 60 to
120.” <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US">The looms used
in Mangalagiri are mostly pit looms. Pit looms are looms which are fixed in the
ground level anid there will be a pit in which looms peddle will be placed and
the weaver will sit on the floor and use his hands and legs to weave. Since Mangalagiri
looms are pit looms, during rainy season the looms are closed due to the rain
water getting logged in the ground. And the humid climate makes it real hard to
weave in summer as the threads break. And it takes longer than usual to produce
fabric in summer. It is this labor of love involved in producing the fabric,
makes it unique.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
We take the help of technology to reduce human efforts. It helps us in producing enough of goods to meet the demand. But, for increasing profit and businesses have started over using the technology. This has a two-way effect to human being and also mother earth. It puts an adverse effect on the environment by polluting with its industrial waste. Also, reduces human involvement and thereby increase unemployment. I don't want to sound anti-industrialization. But, when it comes to preserving the environment, there is a lot of things that need some serious thought.<br />
<br />
The fashion trend is agile and ever changing. But some fashion trend hardly change. One such thing is fashion derived from handloom fabrics. Handloom is deep rooted and connected to our culture and tradition. We often see textile and fashion designers take inspiration from artistic handloom designs. In India, we find many textures of handloom fabrics with unique texture. But it is only limited t saris and fabrics. There are very few fashion designers who try to take this to the next level. So, it does not get that mileage that it deserves to get. With the current socio-economic environment, there is a lot of potential in handloom sector. The only thing missing is the need to give creative input in the form of silhouettes that attracts the western world. I urge fashion designers and brands to add value to our rich handloom sector with their creativity. This is possible and needs a little push with little creativity and marketing.<br />
<br />
Using the handloom fabrics from various parts of India we can design and develop western outfit that may appeal the customers from US and European market. This may open up a lot of doors for our handloom weavers and improve the socio-economic status. I personally feel that the styles designed and produced using handloom fabric have a lot of potential business wise. There is also a feel good factor as you are contributing to the weaver's society. Also, you are taking an active part in reducing environment pollution by using organic handloom made garments.</div>
