Ms. Madhu Jain takes us on a journey for fabrics beyond time, for a fabric that could be the textile of the future. Watch as she unfurls the story behind Bamboo Silk Ikat, the culmination of a life's journey. Even though it's been three decades since Madhu Jain first ventured into the fashion industry, her Ikat techniques and bamboo fibres have been the frontrunners in Indian textile innovation ever since. She graduated from the Delhi School of Economics, and her work is strongly driven by aesthetics and her traditional roots. She has been instrumental in reviving the Dhaka Muslin, and in putting Indian textiles back on the world map. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
