Brisbane fashion designer Juli Grbac (left), winner of Project Runway Australia 2008, has been invited by trade fair organizers to show an Indian-inspired collection at Brand India.
Brand India is organized by the Cotton Textiles Export Promotion Council (TEXPROCIL) and sponsored by the Government of India. It aims to bring together established Indian companies with new talent who offer cutting-edge design.
Grbac, meanwhile, says that her recent trip to Delhi uncovered India’s superior manufacturing and craftsmanship. ‘As a designer, it was like discovering gold. I saw some of the most beautiful beadwork and fabrics I had ever seen,’ she says.
‘The French seams and double-roll hems are of the highest quality … This is what Australia needs to see.’
