In the face of Global Warming, ethical fashion remains a crucial topic in today’s fashion industry. New York-based luxury womenswear designer Suma Chander demonstrates support for sustainable fashion through use of natural, raw textiles and repurposed fabrics in her line. In addition, Chander’s line now helps fund a new humanitarian organization, whose aim is to provide access to clean water in developing countries.
Cultivated by a childhood spent in India, Chander possesses an innate eye and hand for fine fabrics as well as a natural aversion to synthetic fibers, due to its significant carbon footprint. Rather, Chander incorporates raw silks, wools and other natural fibers in her collections of opulent cocktail and evening attire.
The designer also promotes upcycling textiles by sourcing many silks for repurposing in New York, where her studio and production house is based. While working on this upcoming Spring 2013 season, Suma Chander continues to embrace an environmentally friendly and socially responsible philosophy while seeking further opportunities to address ethical issues.
Chander most recently teamed up with her Buddhist teacher, Gyetrul Jigme Rinpoche, to launch a new passion project and humanitarian program for developing countries.
