Itanagar, Oct 27: The One Arunachal NGO has officially announced the 3rd Arunachal Fashion Week – The Artisans’ Movement, scheduled for December 2025, as a tribute to the state’s weavers, artisans and designers.
The 10-day event, to be held at Interior Park, Naharlagun, will spotlight Arunachal Pradesh’s cultural pride through fashion, art and craftsmanship.
“The Artisans’ Movement is our effort to shift the focus from glamour to grassroots, from runways to the real hands that weave our identity,” said Joram Tat, Chairperson, One Arunachal, and Chief Organiser of the event.
“Every thread spun in our villages carries a story of tradition, skill, and self-reliance. Through Arunachal Fashion Week, we want to give those stories a national stage and show that fashion can be a force for livelihood, culture, and pride.”
This year’s lineup features six major designers representing diverse districts and tribes — Pura Aniya from Ziro (Lower Subansiri) of A Dressmaker; Osum Jerang from Kaying (Siang) of Sum’s Tribal Fusion; Jyoti Dada from Tirap of JD Collections; Gimi Yamang from Kra-Dadi of Gimi’s Design; Opet Litin from Yingkiong (Upper Siang) of Litin’s Creation; and Joram Nampi from Joram (Keyi Panyor) of One Arunachal. Joining them are designers Leeza Bagra, Siang Yangada Jumter Angu, Liya Elapra, and Metam Veo, along with weave designers from across Arunachal’s tribes, including specially-abled artisans, symbolising inclusivity and innovation.
