For our upcoming Design Fabric Festival, we decided to extend our theme of 'Culture makes design. Design makes culture' in the truest sense possible. We collaborated with menswear fashion designer Mitesh Lodha to re-imagine the uniform of Mumbai’s Astik Brass Band Pathak. The band was established in 1959 and consists of twenty five members who are trained by Master Gunvant Koli. Traditionally performing at weddings, the blaring brass bands with their infectious tunes make even the most tight-lipped uncle at the party shimmy a little.
