What goes in curating a material research collection two years in advance?
For this collection, an intensive and hands-on research is conducted of the upcoming trends from various sources such as material science and development labs, global trade fairs, and news on developments in other fields which can be influencing factors to the world of Textiles. Fiber and fabric construction studies are conducted for structurally feasible fabrics, before starting experiments on looms. The research is curated and presented as a narrative with socially relevant themes for the upcoming times.

The Curator: Keeper of the arts

Emerging themes: A traditional curator's concern involved tangible objects of some sort — artwork, collectibles, historic items, or scientific collections. More recently, new kinds of curators have started to emerge: curators of digital data objects and biocurators.

Textile Composition of The Curator collection: The Curator is an amalgamation of experimental combinations of yarn-ply and fibers, and dfferent twists with cotton-tencel blends. Self-texture, unconventional construction density, and artistic aesthetics give birth to novel winter fabrics to tackle the needs of climate changes and slow fashion. Post-production processes such as brushing, coating, and resin finishes are a step towards multi-purpose uses and longer-lasting materials.
