Bibi Russell on fashion as a strong catalyst for development, on Bangladeshi weaving industry, and international modelling.
“Save the craftspeople and help revive their dreams.”
This is the guiding principle of our guest this episode; Bangladeshi fashion icon @bibi_russell_official. After establishing herself in the international scene as a top model for some of the world's largest labels for almost two decades, Bibi came home to her native country and opened Bibi Productions in 1995, a brand that has enabled the revival of the age-old heritage of Bengal weaving. Bibi Productions has provided
work for thousands of weavers and artisans, and has helped in the development of handloom fabrics that are not just beautiful, but environment-friendly as well, as they make use of non-chemically produced dyes.
A true humanitarian by heart, Bibi Russell also strives to diligently help street children and improve their access to better life opportunities by providing them with good education. In her words, “Be it poor or well-fed, the children are tomorrow's leaders."
