Kolkata, Sep 10 - Bangladeshi designer Bibi Russell, who showcased her new collection on Day Two of the Kolkata Fashion Week-II Thursday, said she is so inspired by natural fibres, hand weaving and villagers that she wishes her next birth be in a weaver's home.
'My inspirations are the village people. Whenever I am in India, Cambodia or Africa I live with them. I only came to Dhaka five days before this fashion week. The first two days I did the music and in the remaining three days, we did stitching. This is a complete new collection,' she told reporters after exhibiting her spring-summer collection.
Bibi used cotton, some tie-and-dye, some checks and silk and crochet work for her collection that included sarees, salwar kurtas, western wear and men's wear.
She picked the music to blend with the 'shades of blue, purple and a little bit of lilac' that she used for her natural fabrics.
For a change, keeping western hip-hops and music aside, Bibi chose some old Bengali songs by Manna De, Shamol Mitra, Lalan Fakir and S.
