“I love to research as part of my creative process and have visited Panipat - one of the worlds largest importers of secondhand clothes, big garment factories in Bangladesh through to remote weavers in Indian villages. I have seen first hand the real problems calling for real solutions and my dream is to be a part of this change.” - Tulika Ranjan

redress Design Award Collection

Tulika aims to provoke conversation about mental health through her Redress Design Award collection, ‘Just an Outlier’. She celebrates rebels with a cause, who don’t conform to the fabric of society and their grit that can lead to them being propellers of systemic change. With a focus on upcycling and zero-waste design techniques, Tulika sources undyed fabrics to ensure no trace of chemicals and upcycles them taking inspiration, both aesthetically and metaphorically from the Rorschach test, applying hand screen printing, inkblots and applique.
