LIVE DESIGN BY L SAHA

AT LONDON DESIGN FESTIVAL AND LONDON FASHION WEEK PERFORMED BY LABONI SAHA

L Saha presented a Live-Design Exhibit, showcasing the process of hand making a dress from start to finish, spanning through the length of London Design Festival, 2020 (12th-20th September) at Somerset House.

A100% handmade evening dress was created during the exhibition, from sustainably sourced natural material (yarn) that was weaved into a finished garment. No machine stitching was used in the process, making the garment, a product with exceptionally low carbon footprint. The exhibition captured the mak-ing of a 100% handmade garment, the day-to-day design stages within a scene of designer’s work-space.

“I have, for many years worked behind the scene to develop designs that are fully hand made at our studio in London. This is the first time, we have the

opportunity to showcase this to a wider audience and the end consumer.” says Laboni.

She further added, “The project came to fruition at a time when ‘Sustainability’ and ‘Transparency’ have become irreplaceable across all sectors and specially in the luxury sector. Our aim was to highlight these components through an interactive exhibit that, the London Design Festival audience have hopefully enjoyed”.

The finished garment was presented as part of L Saha’s London Fashion Week presentation, that took place at Somerset House and was open to press and accredited industry professionals.

The Live-Design-Creation was performed by Laboni Saha, Creative Director of true-luxury womenswear label L Saha and the event took place at Somerset House in London, where L Saha is based as part of Somerset House’s community of creative enterprises. Both L Saha and Somerset House is committed to collectively reducing its impact on the planet through its work.
