Nawha Model Creation
Nawha Model Creation
The “Nawha Fashion Collection,” designed by Thailand’s renowned designers, delicately encapsulates the essence of indigenous characteristics and cultures of Ban Nawha in Nakhon Phanom Province. This collection revives traditional fabrics, crafted with natural fiber threads selected from the community, and integrates contemporary aesthetics into the patterns to align with the principles of “Sustainable Fashion,” a royal initiative of HRH Princess Sirivannavari Nariratana Rajakanya.
During HRH The Princess visit to the Ban Nawha community in Nakhon Phanom, home to the first artisans group of The SUPPORT Foundation, HRH The Princess bestowed regal advice on the restoration of cultivating mulberry trees, raising silkworms, and dyeing fabrics with natural colors from plants in their community. Moreover, HRH The Princess suggested that local weavers enhance the contemporariness of fabric patterns with local wisdom to make them more appealing to international audiences, potentially sustaining economic activities in the community.
The “Nawha Fashion Collection” is meticulously executed by six participating community groups in collaboration with creative direction from Thailand’s industry-leading designers. Recognized as a successful model project of sustainable community development, this initiative, led by Community Development Department, Ministry of Interior, successfully brings together local communities, weavers, Thai fabric experts, Thailand’s leading designers, and other experts from various fields to modernize Thai fabric for global markets while restoring local wisdom in textile art and continuing the legacy of The SUPPORT Foundation.
