A glimpse into Soil Skin Memory

An exhibition exploring the relationship between fashion, ecology, heritage, and responsibility.

Working with reclaimed botanical waste, natural dyes, Dhakai Muslin, organic indigo, clay, and jute, the project reimagines clothing as a medium for reflection, research, dialogue.

Structured through three interconnected chapters: Waste and Flora, Heritage and Trade, and Arsenic and Earth. The exhibition invites us to consider where materials come from, what they carry, and what responsibilities they accompany design.

Thank you BGMEA University of Fashion and Technology, our collaborators, distinguished guests, students, faculty, and everyone who joined this conversation.

“The fabric we wear is woven from soil, water, labour, and history. To design responsibility is to remember where materials come from.” - RT

RT COLLECTIVE- COLOUR THEORY
Watch full video on YouTube.com/rtatelierco

More than an exhibition, a statement.
Art meets sustainable fashion as canvas becomes fabric and paint becomes organic dyes, creating GOTS-certified cotton wear.

Khary Safari @thedancingphotographer rolls the runway in Upcycled Umbrella Contemporary Jacket, made from abandoned and broken umbrellas, because protection matters. The jacket’s colours were designed to represent the flag of Bangladesh, and coincidentally, echo the flag of Palestine.

Cieran Sheard @cieransheard returns with her baby girl in ultra-fine organic handwoven muslin, a historic fabric reimagined for motherhood and the future.

Erica Steppacher @esteppmodel joins in statement with with her baby bump.
