New Delhi (NVI): Tribal cooperative TRIFED, in association with iconic fashion designer Ritu Beri, is organising a first-of-its-kind fashion show ‘Naturally North East- The Naga Narrative’ during the Surajkund Crafts Mela being held in Haryana’s Faridabad, on the outskirts of Delhi.
This fashion show will showcase the Naga weave with modern touch and various other products from Northeast states. The North Eastern part of India has a rich crafts tradition of its own. It is a place where the personality of every tribe lies in its design style
The tribes constitute over 8% of the country’s population. This is a very significant number. In real terms it corresponds to over 10 crore Indians. The national object of inclusive development (sabka vikas) includes the development of tribes as an important component, according to TRIFED (Tribal Cooperative Marketing Development Federation of India Limited).
The event highlights the culture of Nagaland through fusion attire mixed with their local beaded jewellery. This will showcase a variety of special designed apparels by Ritu Beri, highlighting the tribal weaves & motives, accessories, jewellery etc. of the North Eastern States.
