We’re celebrating #Diwali with @nihaelety (Niha Elety), a fashion activist, designer and founder of @tegacollective, a sustainable fashion collective that champions Indigenous communities from India. ✨ 🪔 “Sustainable fashion is a powerful lens to explore the problems in our systems and goes deeper than just environmentally friendly fabrics and fair wages,” says Niha. “Growing up surrounded by rich South Asian textiles, fashion was a vehicle for not only self-expression but a relationship with my culture as well. Diwali fashion is big and everyone shows up in their best clothing. Typically for festivals, people receive new clothing as a gift. But as a sustainable fashion advocate, I have started to re-wear and upcycle my clothes from the past to create fun new Diwali outfits.” #ShareYourLight #HappyDiwali2022 Video by @nihaelety
