TED Talk Delivered by Saumya Pandey
In a recent TEDx talk, fashion designer Saumya Pandey shared her unique perspective on the humble stitch, a simple yet profound tool that has the power to bring hope, happiness, and humility during challenging times.
Saumya, a graduate from NIFT and a Masters graduate from Nottingham Trent University with a distinction, found her inspiration for inspiring the next generation of designers in the most ordinary acts of observation in everyday life.
The needle and the scissor, the two tools that taught Saumya the stitch, are particularly important in the fashion design industry. For her, the stitch does more than just join, gather, bind, patch, mend, hold, trace, hem, and repair. It serves as a symbol of resilience and survival for communities, a powerful reminder of their identity in an ever-changing world.
Saumya emphasized the struggle of communities and their craft practices to survive in modern society. She stated that these communities are under the threat of disappearing if they are not given proper acknowledgement. To help preserve and appreciate traditional handicraft traditions, Saumya is supported by UNESCO, an organization that aims to safeguard intangible cultural heritage and promote cultural diversity.
Saumya's relationship with her mother introduced her to the world of fashion. Her mother played a significant role in her introduction to the stitch. The beauty of what we often miss out in our fast-paced routine keeps Saumya rooted and grounded.
As the course leader of the Fashion Design program at an unspecified institution, Saumya believes that merging to connect with the struggles and travails of the common man is more important than maintaining distinct identities. She emphasizes that the stitch can bring people together as one, symbolizing unity among humanity.
Saumya's perspective on the stitch highlights its role in providing emotional support and solace during difficult times. She finds hope in the stitch, which provides a sense of happiness and humility during trying times, loss, grief, marginalization, and persecution.
In conclusion, the stitch, as explained by Saumya Pandey, is not just a tool used in fashion design, but a powerful symbol of resilience and survival for communities, fostering unity and connection among people.
