KVIC portal to share design trends for khadi launched New Delhi, July 15 (KNN) A knowledge portal developed by the Center of Excellence for Khadi was launched by KVIC to provide design directions to the Khadi institutions.

The centre has been setup by the Khadi and Village Industries Commission, Ministry of MSME at NIFT.It was launched yesterday by CEO-KVIC Preeta Verma.

The primary objective of the portal is to disseminate design knowledge to a broader section of Khadi Institutions. It aims to create design intervention by simplifying the trends especially suitable for Khadi.

Four stories/design directions have been conceptualised and presented in Volume I. Each story has a key theme, colour palette, and directions for woven designs, prints, textures, and surfaces. Every story has been separated into two segments - Home and Apparel.

Apart from the themes, the portal will also provide size charts, silhouette boards, buttons and closures, seams and finishes for both home and apparel segments.

The information will be updated twice a year to provide directions according to the seasons and trends.

This information will be of value to not only the Khadi institutions but also to organisations providing support to develop apparel, home products, and packaging for Khadi.

The textiles exhibited in the portal as direction have been specially woven using varied thicknesses of Khadi yarns to explore possibilities of creating textures and structures for home and apparel. (KNN Bureau)
