30th November 2021 – Colombo: FH by Hameedia extended its longstanding affiliation with Colombo Fashion Week (CFW) by presenting its unique men’s resortwear collection at the CFW’s Swim Week 2-day resortwear fashion extravaganza held at the Shangri-La Hotel and the Marina at the Port City recently. This year’s CFW Swim Week focused on Luxury Resortwear with emphasis on the festive season of December and destination weddings. Sustainability was a key focal point of all designs at the event.
This season’s inspiration for the FH by Hameedia resortwear collection came from the elements of Mother Nature’s abundant resources. The collection was created with natural fabrics and colours in mind, with an emphasis on sustainability. The designs used tea waste that has been converted into natural fabric dyes for the fashion industry, which is known to be a more environmentally-friendly alternative to traditional fabric dyes. These dyes have been infused into natural cotton or linen fabric to create an eco-sustainable product. A variety of dip-dye has been used to upcycle clothing, where it has been combined with various cultural elements in Sri Lanka to give an extraordinary look
