london fashion week spring summer collection-08

The spring summer ‘08 collection consists of hand woven and knitted, 100 percent raw silk and linen blends- all using eco-friendly dyes and processes. The silk is produced in Bhagalpur, Bihar, India, by a completely different method compared to the other forms of silk in the world. While extracting the silk fiber, the silkworm is not killed. Instead, the cocoon is cut and the silkworm is allowed to come out. The process gives the silk a unique raw character a coarse silk yarn having a lot of protruding short silk fibers, rendering a unique natural sheen.
