COCCCON - A CIRCULAR STORY OF PEACE SILK | FDCIxLFW

Cocccon presented their latest collection at FDCI x Lakmé Fashion Week. Purn Vritt is a avantgarde collection by Indo-German designer duo Prakash and Georg for the label Cocccon, showcasing in India for the first time. The collection resembles the indigenous performing art of Jharkhand which speaks about conflict between circular (jeevan chakra) and linear (jeevan rekha) lifestyle. The showcase features a performance of the traditional folk dance, 'Saraikela Chhau', which finds its origin in eastern India. Heavily influenced by ancient books, the semi-classical dance depicts our inner conflict between the Linear and Circular life. Additionally, this collection is made using biodegradable materials that have no trace of negative impact. The principal material is organically produced peace silk, where silkworms complete their full life cycle and become beautiful butterflies. Sericulture is performed under strict organic procedures, including zero carbon measures. Patterns of this collection are made using zero waste techniques and this collection is plastic free (crude oil free) in terms of auxiliaries. Materials such as silicon/ plastic boning, polyester mesh can-can, chemical adhesive-based fusing, pasting etc. are avoided, and instead alternative materials are used from natural resources like bamboo or cane. Project Cocccon is GOTS, WFTO, OCS certified and won German Sustainability Award Design 2021. #LakmeFashionWeek #LFW #5DaysOfFashion #FDCIxLFW #MiniPlayMegaSlay #MakeF
