Fashion Police | With the World Environment Day knocking at the door Anavila Misra talks on how fashion can be close to nature

Known for reviving sarees as an everyday outfit, Anavila Misra designs communicate the revival of handcrafts and sustainability of fashion’s auxiliary industries and are structured for luxury and comfort. She works closely with various craft clusters across the country, including West Bengal, Jharkhand, and Bhuj, promoting sustainable fashion through traditional handloom techniques.

With the World Environment Day knocking at the door, a believer of revival of weaves, Anavila talks about fashion evolving and more. Her collection has always been very close to nature. In an interview with Firstpost, she says, “I think it’s for most of us, nature inspires us in many ways, whether it be the flowers, the tress, the oceans or the seas. Our yarns come from nature.”

For Anavila spring is her favourite season for many reasons, “You suddenly see the whole earth kind of celebrating with florals and blooms fresh leaves.” She believes, it’s very important when lifestyle, fashion and culture kind of intersect. And as designers one should think much more than just garments.

Talking about fashion Vs style, Anavila says somebody can put a heap of clothes in front of you and you can buy clothes. “But how you put it together is all about your own style. So, I think it is important to understand your own style and to cultivate it.”
