What is Muslin

Once the world's most prized fabric, now lost to time

Dhaka Muslin, nicknamed woven air was the most coveted cloth on earth. Spun from the rare Phuti Karpas cotton that grew along the Meghna River and shaped through a meticulous, multi-village, 16-step craft, it achieved thread counts of 800 to 1200, far beyond ordinary cottons. From Mughal courts to European royalty, its feather-light transparency redefined fashion, inspiring chemise gowns and igniting a scandal for seeming to clothe women in nothing but light. Each piece was a living artwork: jamdani motifs added directly on the loom, surfaces softened by countless hand-joins, and finishes so fine a 300 ft roll of cloth could slip through a ring.That brilliance dimmed under colonial pressure, industrial imitation, and the loss of Phuti Karpas. By the early 20th century true Dhaka Muslin had vanished. Today, efforts in Bangladesh are reviving the plant and practice. This is where Fatima Farzana, born in Dhaka, locates her purpose. Her work honors the city that gave Muslin its name: celebrating heritage techniques, spotlighting Rajshahi & Sapura silks alongside Muslin, and translating that lineage into contemporary forms.In Fatima’s hands, muslin is not nostalgia but continuity of art, culture, and community woven back into what we wear.
