Banko – Future Origin – JD Annual Design Awards 2017 – Cochin

Collection Name: Banko
Students Names: Libitha Baby, Remya T and Shareefa V A

Banko is an ingenious collection inspired by the spiritual and philosophical teachings of Buddhism. This thought and the purpose-driven collection has emphasized on resource efficiency and reflects sustainability. The garments are reversible and can be worn in multiple ways. Inducing the concept of minimalism, the collection has a sharp edge and constructed using linen and cotton variants. The surface ornamentations are inspired by Buddha symbols and created with rexin and flex. Wooden beads and coconut shells are used as alternative buttons to encourage usage of available and natural resources. The colour story is bright and vibrant and is reflected in the marvellous collection.
