#kushuthara

Bhutan made history at Milan Fashion Week with its debut capsule collection, showcasing the iconic Kushuthara reimagined by Bhutanese artisans and designers in collaboration with Stella Jean.

The collaboration spotlighted Bhutan’s rich textile heritage, with the iconic Kushuthara from Lhuentse reimagined into modern silhouettes. The pieces were crafted by Bhutanese women artisans from Goenpa Kabab and local designers, Chadrika Tamang, founder of CDK Gyencha and Tashi Zangmo, founder of Wangpee Couture, in partnership with renowned international designer Stella Jean.
