From Craft to Couture: Weaving Heritage into the Future of Fashion

About the Event
In a global fashion landscape obsessed with sustainable luxury, Sri Lanka’s greatest competitive edge lies in our deeply rooted textile heritage—from the delicate artistry of Beeralu lace to the richness of local handloom and batik.
The world demands authenticity over mass design, presenting local fashion designers with a crucial opportunity to develop a unique, "Made in Sri Lanka" philosophy that captivates on the global stage.
This is a dynamic discussion on turning generational wisdom into globally relevant, high-value contemporary fashion. Join the innovators who are mastering the delicate balance: crafting traditional materials into modern silhouettes and elevating artisan skill to a global luxury status.
