By Executive Editor Tashi Narula
Reliance Industries Ltd.’s R|Elan™ Fashion for Earth in partnership with United Nations in India and United Nations Environment Programme, presented the latest ‘Bandit’ Collection that was a show stopping line of unbelievable creativity.
“The Shourai Collection”, which literally means ‘The Future’ revealed how new designs and materials will be the mainstay of the future – in complete sync with R|Elan being the fabric of the future. Satyajit once again used his trademark tarpaulin and added billboard flex, used canvas and car seat belts to turn them into amazing fashion items.
Color was brought in with great practical use when the duffels, backpacks and cross body bags zipped through the show. A very stylish raincoat was added to complete the look of the colorful abstract printed line that merged cleverly, to show the many paths to sustainability
Exhibiting his unique creative talent, Satyajit unveiled the piece de resistance of his line – a jewelry collection dreamt up from aircraft aluminum. The jewelry line also used unconventional aluminum and copper combining them with rich gold and diamonds.
Satyajit introduced fountain pens created from aircraft aluminum, brass and even artillery shells and wood from handloom spindle.
The film showcases a day in the life of skateboarders – their trials, triumphs and zeal to better their craft. Bandit is a young, urban, street brand and Goa being their home, they aimed to highlight a different and perhaps inconspicuous side of Goa.
