SWGT

The brand reflects my connection with the mountains, the people, and the culture.

Shweta Gupta, founder of the label SWGT, values the journey that she must undertake to create a new collection. Her specific process is laid out in the words ‘seeker, wanderer, gatherer, and thinker,’ the initials of which form the name of her brand. Before starting her brand in 2018, she was actively looking for a muse. It was while she was travelling through Uttarakhand, in a small town called Harsil, that Gupta found the answer: the mountains. Observing the natural folds and ridges of the mountains and the way different colours reflected off of them, she began making her colour story and sketching out the basic forms. The play of light and shadow she saw throughout the day is reflected in the forms the pleats and cuts of her garments take when the body moves.

Gupta’s ultimate victory lies in creating clothes that the wearer can appreciate: from small details that one would only notice up-close to a fabric that’s soft to touch, and smart cuts that flatter the wearer’s body type.
