Khadi, which draped the humble freedom fighters in the days of yore is today flaunted by the coolcats making fashion statements. All the way used by politicians to invoke the radically idealistic image it symbolised (by default), it took a handful of designers to bring it out of the downmarket rut. It has become the darling fabric of some designers who swear by Khadi and others use it of and on. Epitomising a cool casual look a few years ago, today, it makes the frontispiece of the ramp. Sporting an individualistic look, it has a distinct character and is a highly versatile fabric which speakes for itself. At a time when speed, precision and replicability have become the hallmarks of production technology, the wholly hand-spun, hand-woven, and hand-patterned cloth epitomizes a product of ultimate uniqueness and luxury. As a fabric of the new millennium hand-crafted Indian khadi demonstrates all round excellence, be it socio, economic, political or spiritual. The famous Khadi is very dear to India, it symbolizes India's fight for Freedom. It is the thread that gave work to millions. It dressed and motivated them, inspired by Mahatma Gandhi to do away with a system of governance based on political oppression. KHADI'S earliest avatar was fashioned some 5,000 years ago in India, the original home of cotton, hand spun and hand woven by craftspersons who in all likelihood followed the precise intstructions on weaving, spinning and dyeing laid out in the Vedas. The Mahabharata and Ramayana rhapsodise over the intricacies of gold shot woven cloth. What is truly novel about Khadi is its bold designer streak, implementing the Minister of Small-Scale Industries, Vasundhara Raje Scindia's directive of broadbasing khadi's appeal. The outfits by well-known designers Rohit Bal and Malini Ram ani, the attentive staff informs me, have been walking off the shelves since last month, when the store opened. A few of the popular boxy kurtas, done by Bal, immediately catch the eye -- the colours are muted earth-brown, beige, cream. T he style is simple, and elegant.
