Bollywood costume designers Manoshi Nath and Rushi Sharma are known for their sustainable costume designs for films like Thugs of Hindostan
Crafting costumes to draw the audience into a storyline is an art, but also a responsibility. Fashion has earned the disrepute of being a high polluter—about 7,800 kilotonnes of textile waste accumulates in India annually; the largest share of which, an estimated 51 per cent, originates from Indian consumers, factory waste and offcuts. India’s textile waste accounts for 8.5 per cent of the global total; and 59 per cent of the national textile waste finds its way back into the textile industry through reuse and recycling. So the edge to get into the industry would naturally be certification in how to create and design carefully.
Award-winning costume designers Manoshi Nath and Rushi Sharma teach a costume designing course online that teaches how to source materials ethically, as well as eco-friendly production practices. The duo has designed for over 40 movies, the notable among them being PK, Queen, The Railway Men, Detective Byomkesh Bakshy, Khosla Ka Ghosla, Dhoom 3, Thugs of Hindostan, and Talaash.
