This collection tracks the clothing of one of the oldest religions in the world with a modernist eye and a queered mindset. Inspired by the techniques and principles of menswear, these clothes are a reflection of a new queer, Indian identity.
Historic and contemporary Parsi dress details are worked into fluid daywear and bespoke tailoring. Crossover collars are pad stitched, Mughal coat silhouettes are worked into coats. Establishing a forward-thinking interpretation of Zoroastrian clothing through Ancient Persia to India and through colonization.
The pattern making process for this collection was dictated by the mission of inclusive tailoring. Displacing gendered seams, darting around the body, results in forms created by right angle seams. High vents with back ties allowed for these garments to fit a range of bodies and flexible with sizing.
Transformative elements help the wearer adjust the garment to their body, with a metamorphic feel. Quilted silks and saris in bright colors are detachable, and straps at the shoulder-blades and waist change the fit discreetly from the back.
