Isha Nabar — Parsons Festival 2022

Collection

RESONANCE

Resonance is a collection that is designed to calm, center and balance the body through the healing powers of sound. In a generation overwhelmed by chaos, turmoil and disruption, I felt there is a need, now more than ever for a contemplative and meditative state of mind. Every single organ and cell in our body has its vibrations which when in harmony creates the most beautiful symphony imaginable. Sound vibrations go deep into our cells and activate their mechanisms, eliminating toxins and fostering physical and emotional well being.

Emanating from this, I have used sound as the central thought in my collection, and integrated meditative sound producing mechanisms into the materiality of my garments, attempting to physically channel positive energy and help balance the energy centers in the body. Harmonizing tranquil sounds into my visual aesthetic, each garment has a sense of rhythm and flow, immersing one’s senses in unexpected ways and creating an aura of serenity.
