Suket Dhir’s entry into fashion was a happenstance. As a young man, Dhir dabbled in a variety of fields ranging from commerce to multi-media web design. Dissatisfied, he got a job at a call centre. With the money he made from there, Dhir hit the road in a discovery of India’s hippie spots like Dharamsala and Goa. On this journey of self-discovery, he chanced upon the NIFT prospectus.
But a career in fashion was not entirely accidental: Dhir always loved painting and as a young boy dabbled in sculptures and tin work. At school he won poster making competitions. Besides, he belonged to a family engaged in the garment trade. However his stratospheric rise, from dressing a Nobel laureate to winning the prestigious Woolmark Prize, has made Dhir a force to reckon with. His love for textiles combined with the thoroughly modern blazers he creates, is a fresh twist on Indian fashion and the places it can go.
From the perfect pant suit, to the elevated kurta pyjama, a bomber and cheeky shorts, Dhir showcases the limitless possibilities of Indian pret.
In his pieces, there is a celebration of Indian arts and crafts—from traditional weaves to high art, from ancient sculptures to their renderings in modern silhouettes.
