ArtistHubSydney recently hosted its Student Visual Arts Exhibition 2025, which featured a remarkable crochet fashion show by designer Shantana Deka Dutta, founder of ARTantana. Her collection, Symphonic Hues, celebrated the artistry of crochet by evoking the warmth and nostalgia of handmade creations reminiscent of past generations.
Each piece in the collection was meticulously handcrafted, merging traditional techniques with contemporary design to create garments that were both visually striking and wearable. The show highlighted the versatility of crochet as a medium, transforming it into a form of art that seamlessly bridges heritage and modern fashion.
The evening was attended by distinguished guests, including Mayor Dr Michelle Byrne, NSW MPs Warren Kirby and Mark Hodges, and councillors Sreeni Pillamarri and Reena Jethi. The runway showcased a harmonious blend of creativity, craftsmanship, and imagination.
The Symphonic Hues fashion show not only highlighted Shantana Deka Dutta’s dedication to handmade artistry but also underscored the relevance of sustainable, thoughtfully created fashion in today’s industry.
