Sheikh Arif Bulbon :
In recent years, Tangail Taant industry has experienced encouraging growth. Amongst the many handloom fabrics, Tangail Taant has retained a distinct identity and popularity both at home and abroad.
The practice of the traditional format of its design and weave in lengths of six (or seven) yards with fine patterned border is still being exercised by the artisans of Tangail Taant. The light airy fabric balanced with a well-woven ground stands as a testimony to the finesse of the weavers’ creation.
In the past, the Tangail saree was worn by both royalties and commoners, and at present, we see no change in admiration for the Tangail sarees. The Tangail saree, therefore, is destined to withstand the test
of time for years to come.
The Fashion Design Council of Bangladesh (FDCB) and Bengal Art Lounge jointly launched ‘An Ode to Tangail Weaves,’ an exhibition on metamorphosis of Tangail sarees.
The show transcends time, depicted the transformation of Taant over the last few decades. In the interest of the future of Bangladesh’s fashion textile, the designers of FDCB have worked to create ensembles with Tangail handloom to unveil the potential of Taant fabric.
The exhibition was inaugurated by the Cultural Affairs Minister Asaduzzaman Noor MP and Ambassador of the Royal Danish Embassy Hanne Fugel Eskajaer, was also present as the special guest on the occasion.
Designers on show were – Maheen Khan, Biplob Saha, Chondona Dewan, Shaibal Saha, Shabana Ali, Maria Islam, Kuhu, Emdad Haque, Farah Anjum Bari, Lipi Khandaker, Shahrukh Amin and Nawshin Khair.
Amongst the many handloom fabrics, Tangail Taant has retained a distinct identity and popularity both at home and abroad, said the organisers.
