Kader recounts her initial perceptions of khadi as a modest, unremarkable fabric, a sentiment she held during her youth. However, memories of her father, who cherished khadi for its cultural significance and earthy aesthetics, resurfaced during the show. 

 

The presentation featured designs from the Centre of Excellence for Khadi (CoEK), accompanied by the soulful melodies of Rajasthani folk singer Samandar Khan. The combination of music, lighting, and the tactile presence of khadi textiles evoked vivid recollections of her father's preferences and philosophies.

 

Particularly moving was the sight of scarves integrated into the ensembles, reminiscent of a green block-printed cotton fabric Kader had once selected for her father. This visual cue transported her back to intimate family moments, underscoring the profound connection between clothing and memory.

 

Kader's narrative highlights the transformative power of fashion as a medium for storytelling and emotional exploration. The Khadi India showcase not only celebrated sustainable and indigenous textiles but also facilitated a space for personal reflection and healing. Through this experience, Kader found a renewed appreciation for khadi, recognizing it as a symbol of resilience, heritage, and familial bonds.
