Window to Woven Dreams
To celebrate the inauguration of the RTA, a fashion show “Window to Woven Dreams” was held at the academy’s plaza on June 6. Six local designers and popular Indian designers like Rajesh Pratap Singh and Ritu Kumar came together to showcase their collections, which were all based on Bhutanese design materials and fabrics.
A total of 10 models from India and 23 Bhutanese models walked the ramp. In their effort to promote and preserve the textile arts, the RTA encourages fashion designers to create clothing using Bhutanese textiles, motifs or inspiration from local weaves. Such fashion presentations also provide the designers a platform to showcase their talent and an opportunity to young aspiring models.
