Miss Nepal Earth - 2023

The “Me Love Tree” costume, designed for Miss Nepal Earth 2023 and showcased in Vietnam, is an eco-friendly creation that seamlessly combines traditional Nepalese elements with modern design principles. This intricate costume is crafted using sustainable materials, emphasizing a commitment to environmental responsibility and the celebration of nature’s beauty. The vibrant hues and detailed patterns are carefully chosen to symbolize Nepal’s rich biodiversity, from its lush forests to its diverse flora and fauna.

The upper part of the costume features a bold green leaf design that serves as a striking backdrop, symbolizing growth and renewal. The intricate beadwork on the bodice mirrors the intricate patterns found in nature, while the asymmetrical neckline adds a contemporary touch to the traditional elements. The skirt, adorned with flowing patterns in earthy tones, represents the harmony between the natural world and modern fashion.

Worn by Raina Majhgain, who represented Nepal at the Miss Earth 2023 pageant, this costume not only highlighted the beauty of Nepalese culture but also sent a powerful message about sustainability. The thigh-high slit adds a touch of elegance and modernity, perfectly balancing the traditional aspects of the design.

This creation reflects a dedication to integrating cultural heritage with contemporary fashion, showcasing the potential of fashion to be both beautiful and meaningful. By incorporating sustainable practices and celebrating the natural world, the “Me Love Tree” costume stands as a testament to the power of fashion in promoting ecological awareness and cultural appreciation on an international platform.
