National, 6^th October 2023 (TGN): The Fashion Design Council of India is presenting a unique showcase, titled “Fashion Wears Art” at the Lakmé Fashion Week X FDCI. The first-of-its-kind presentation is slated for October 15, at 6pm, Pragati Maidan, in the capital, curated by art aficionado Shalini Passi and mentored by Sunil Sethi.

The Fashion Wears Art Project pays homage to visionaries in their respective fields, as they combine creative forces with designers. This heady combination will see an artistic expression adding spark to the style-scape.  The participating designers and artists include --- JJ Valaya x Waswo X Waswo, Rajesh Pratap Singh x Mithu Sen, Namrata Joshipura x Sudarshan Shetty, Rohit Gandhi + Rahul Khanna x Vibha Galhotra, Varun Bahl x A Ramachandran, HUEMN x Hanif Kureshi, Gautam Kalra x Siddharth Singh Bokolia.

“This is a wonderful meeting of genius minds, and the result has always been paradigm-shifting. Even if you look at history, it began with Elsa Schiaparelli x Salvador Dalí and continued with LV and Yayoi Kusama. These powerful palette pleasers are conversation starters, and not defined by conventional rhythms of the fashion world. We have legendary artists, who have joined hands with us on this remarkable project to shape our perspective in the design world,” says Sunil Sethi, Chairman FDCI.

“This coalescence between art and fashion is symbolic of a dynamic and transformative space, offering a platform for artists and designers to push the envelope of creativity, challenge conventions, and create unique and culturally significant works,” said Shalini Passi founder Mash India.
