Kumar, an award-winning fashion innovator with an extensive background in textile technology, was Mauritius’ first designer to be featured in New York Fashion Week. The designer drew this season’s inspiration from his native country, explaining, “There is nothing more soothing than to lay down on a hammock at night and watch the deep blue sky in Mauritius. Based on this feeling, I designed this collection using fabric with different shades of indigo.”
The environmentally responsible garments with TENCEL™ Denim used in Pawan’s “Midnight Blues” collection was created utilizing the modern denim finishing with the laser technology of Jeanologia, Spain and produced at Saitex Vietnam. The selection of the fabrics usesTENCEL™ x REFIBRA™ Lyocell, considered amongthe most sustainable fibers in the world, by upcycling Cotton scraps from garment production into pulp and thenmixing with wood pulp harvested from responsibly managed farms.
