London Fashion Week: Selvedge Designer Showroom On 17–18 September, the Selvedge Indian Designer Showroom at Asia House, London, welcomes some of India’s most compelling contemporary designers — including Maku, the conceptual label founded by artist Santanu Das. Rooted in slow fashion and a deep respect for India’s textile heritage, Maku puts fabric at the heart of design. Each piece is crafted from hand-spun, handwoven, indigo-dyed cloth — with indigo honoured as both colour and cultural statement. Challenging mass consumerism, Maku champions khadi and indigenous handloom techniques, incorporating handmade nuances — a reverse button, an irregular print — that stand apart from global uniformity. In close collaboration with Jamdani weavers in West Bengal, designs are shaped by the artisans’ skills and traditions, with the maker’s hand guiding the outcome as much as the designer’s. Das’s philosophy offers a measured yet radical stance in today’s fashion world — fewer choices, greater meaning, and a return to craft-led narratives. The Indian Designer Showroom offers buyers authentic, sustainable S/S 2026 collections, with new UK-India trade opportunities following the recent lifting of import taxes. The showroom is open to wholesale clients on 17–18 September, offering a private opportunity to explore and place orders directly with the designers. On 19 September, fashion enthusiasts and Selvedge readers are welcomed to the showroom to meet the designers, explore collections, and shop select pieces.
