House of Gharats apparel and accessory designs tell a story of interweaving of cultures, social changes and the juxtaposition between tradition and modernity. We create a bridge between art, textile crafts and fashion.The brand is driven by the values of art and craft, rather than fashion, and as a result, our designs are not about trends, but are timeless pieces that can be passed down through the generations. Textiles are the bedrock of fashion and thats where our fashion story begins. The textiles of the Indian subcontinent have captivated and adorned the world for more than 2000 years. No other region has been home to a greater variety of fibre, fabric and patterning technique. Indian craftspeople created magnificent woven embroidered and resist patterned textiles for centuries.
House of Gharats is passionate about sourcing the most beautiful hand printed & woven Indian textiles, supporting age old textile arts & crafts. It’s aim is to give the aesthete an opportunity to understand the depth of Indian arts and textile crafts, while creating a product that is wearable. The Fabric of India collection juxtaposes Indian printed cottons, silk brocades textiles with modern tailoring.
Textiles are the bedrock of fashion and that’s where our fashion story begins. The weaves, the threads, the traditions, the craft, the artisans…
“My designs are about real people, their strengths, their weaknesses, no absolutes but sums and totals. The grace, the form, the passion, the pain, the love… I see seamless parallels between the ballerina and textiles I work with – the tough process of making a dancer’s body like textiles in order to achieve the beauty from inside-out. What connects these two is the labour that comes out of love, and I can very much relate to that.”
