Designer Bibi Russell from Bangladesh was chosen to create a bespoke look for The Commonwealth Fashion Exchange - an initiative for established and emerging fashion talent from across the Commonwealth’s 53 countries to showcase the power and potential of artisan fashion skills to deliver new networks, trade links and highlight sustainability. Bibi Russell has designed a simple formal outfit consisting of a skirt, jacket, and scarf with matching accessories. The look is made from hand-woven Jamdani cloth, which is unique to Bangladesh, and is considered an ‘Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity’ by UNESCO. Red has been used to emphasize happiness and joy, the beauty Bibi sees in the villages of Bangladesh. Through this outfit Bibi Russel wants to give her tribute to incredible Jamdani weavers for their magical work.The look was displayed at Buckingham Palace and the Australian High Commission, London. Both exhibitions were curated by VOGUE
