1. The focus on people; whether this is respecting cultures, celebrating heritage and tradition, providing ethical working conditions or helping communities and individuals with the sale profits. The positive social values encompassed by the House of Gharat are ones which resonate with me and ones I believe need to be adopted throughout the sector.
2. The focus on planet; reducing the impact fashion is having on ecosystems and organisms across the world is vital in order to create a more sustainable future and is something I am extremely passionate about. It is clear that the House of Gharat holds sustainability at its core, from using seacell fibre to create environmentally friendly scarves to driving positive action through art and engagement.
3. The focus on fashion; the House of Gharats focuses on fashion in a unique way, instead of creating new pieces to follow emerging ‘trends’ instead you create timeless pieces which are crafted to last, can be passed down the generations and be worn in endless different ways. To me this is exactly what fashion should be about.

The first thing on the website which means something to me is the Blue Fashion X Commonwealth collection as I grew up by the seaside, I am very conscious of the work that needs to be done to maintain our oceans and have always been fascinated by marine life. Secondly, the Tea Party in Wonderland collection means something to me as an English Literature student. This was one of the very first novels I have studied, and the collection encapsulates the wonderfully weird world of the novel.
Finally, the Missing the Big Ben collection as it encapsulates London from history to heritage.

Complete the sentence “ The future of fashion is…unknown. There has never been a sense of consistency within the fashion industry, and we are continually surprised by new developments. An answer that initially sprung to mind was sustainability, however considering this movement is a fairly recent one, and has amassed a great following within the past few years, it is impossible to define fashion’s future as sustainable. We do not know the next movement that will take fashion by storm, but all we can hope for is that sustainable principles solidify themselves and become something of an unspoken law. I expect the future of fashion is filled with diversity, cultural merging and unexpected trends. Diversity has been another advocated topic of conversation, and this will hopefully be nurtured and barriers will be broken down.
Complete the sentence “ The future of retail is… cyclical. We see, through trend-led pieces, that fashion repeats itself. Fashion is, after all, about what’s current and readily available. Fast-fashion churns out stock quickly, and consumers are expected to keep up with this inundation of pieces. Trend-led culture leads us to want the most coveted items, without contemplating their cost-per-wear, or the longevity of our wardrobe’s latest addition. Yet, with vintage and second-hand shopping rising in popularity, people seem to be turning to the old for those archived gems that just can’t be located on the high street. There’s something special about knowing the piece you’re wearing has a history attached to it, and you’re merely the next owner in a succession of people. The fact that pieces dating back twenty or thirty years ago are cropping up once again on the fashion scene contests the idea that fashion is about what’s trendy: fashion is actually cyclical. Ten years ago, skinny jeans appeared to be the uniform (at least at my school), and now, a day doesn’t go by where a ’90s inspired, light-wash pair of baggy jeans isn’t in my periphery. Everything comes back, even if it was once shunned as outdated.
Complete the sentence “ Style from my point of view means…a sense of empowerment. The phrase ‘fashion is empowering’ can prompt significant debate. How can something seemingly so superficial and disposable amount to empowerment? Whilst this is undeniably true, the notion of empowering fashion needs to be taken past face value. Empowerment can have significance beyond aesthetics. Your choice of clothing can be a vehicle for emotional empowerment. As I began to truly enter into the world of fashion, I immersed myself in runway collections. The Fall-Winter 2015/16 Haute Couture Chanel Show became something I watched daily. The unbelievable craftsmanship and artistic license to create something that exceeded the boundaries of my dreams was awe-inspiring. In particular, I was gravitated towards avant-garde clothing. To transgress acceptable boundaries gave me a sense of exhilaration: to walk down the street wearing men’s pinstripe dungarees that were four sizes too big and a black trench coat that was so long it dragged on the floor became my go-to. This considerably hideous concoction broke every single sartorial rule in the book, and attracted multiple comments, stares, and pointing; yet somehow, I had embraced the feeling of being a walking spectacle and turned it into something more. I became a visual representation of who I wanted to be — someone willing to challenge gender boundaries — and every finger that waved in my direction became testament to that fact.

The first thing which stands out is the sustainability element of your design process. Sustainable fashion movement concerns are addressed on the website since it is a great challenge to create products which are sustainable yet so beautiful. This is a really current topic and one which allows your beautiful scarfs to work with the environment, not against it.
The element of care and authenticity is one which I admire and include in my design practise. Through the imagery and use of inspiration quotes, it is very clear House of Gharats implements a level of care from fabric choosing to environmental issues. The blog highlights this to customers and shows just what an honest, quirky brand House of Gharats is.
The colourful, vibrant splashes of colour create an upbeat feel right as you view the homepage. When I fist checked out the website, I knew the designs were very me! This reflects the bright, colourful design of the scarfs which links the website and products together very well. As an illustrator myself, the quirky designs are so visually interesting. The ability to let the brand speak through the colours and images is interests me about the website.
Amber Ali
I really admire that House of Gharats are inspired by art to produce their ethical luxury silk. As I studied interior design in University, a lot of our inspiration was also drawn from artwork, and I believe that sometimes the best design works come from inspirations from art.
Something else that inspires me is that House of Gharats is a ”design house, fusing cultures and blurring the lines between Indian art and fashion” I really love the term in this sentence ” fusing cultures” because I believe that fusing cultures, can produce something very powerful, something very powerful that can even harmonize the struggles that people have with each other.
One last thing that inspires me about House of Gharats is that I feel it is very grounded, and that it has not forgotten its roots, and that they decide to bring their unique culture to a country with different culture, helping to educate everyone.
Kind regards,
Amber

One of the biggest attractions to ‘House of Gharats’ is the way you combine artistic expression with purposeful design. In your interview with the big issue you highlight how you create scarves that have an impact on the world and as someone who strives to be an activist for the environment that is an incredibly important outlook to have. This nicely connects to my second reason, House of Gharats partnership with The Big Issue. Your collaborations with charities such as Food For Life Vrindavan once again reinforces just how much your brand cares about the world and makes an impact through beautiful design and versatile statement pieces. The final reason is how playful and fun your company’s look is, the bright colour palettes and stunning illustration style is eye catching, for example ’Tigers Jungle Fashion Party’ is a gorgeous piece of art with immense detail. Working with a brand such as yours would be an amazing experience.

As a graphic design communication student, I appreciate how well the main values are conveyed throughout the website. It is clear to see how important a connection between tradition and modernity as well as sustainability is for the people working in the company. The blog is the key that helps to uncover the story behind every piece of work.
I really admire House of Gharat’s excessive attention to details, starting with packaging design and finishing off with divine patterns on the scarves. Every colour and line are in harmony with one another making every piece an artwork and a statement.
Moreover, being a massive fan of crafts, I am inspired by the commitment to work by bringing “the focus back to the makers and the skills” in the modern-day world. For this way of working, House of Gharat’s really stands out of all the other brands.

Why House of Gharats, point 3 things on the website that mean something to you ?
The House of Gharats marries artistic expression and fashion styling perfectly.
‘The Art of Seduction inspired by By Story Teller Seema Anand’, is a collection which I connect so well with. Using symbolism, and story-telling to illustrate a message. Wearing those silk scarves embodies the freedom of sex, exploration, and being human. It’s full of passion and excitement, and I love that the brand collaborates with artists to create unique and beautiful pieces.
With fashion being apart our unique identities, along with today’s social media obsession and a strong platform to present ourselves, often our clothes can quickly become used and abused, and we find ourselves always looking for the next thing in fashion (or simply just for the next event!). An article on your blog, inspired me to continually question how as consumers we can help to minimise waste and how powerful it is that a luxury brand is promoting mindfulness of creating sustainable goods and re-using recycled products. “We are experiencing a sea change in material culture. Can our fashion & lifestyle choices save the oceans?” This article provides detail on which materials exactly are used and how House of Gharats in striving to be at the forefront of this important change in the fashion industry.
As well as the brand embodying such beauty and symbolism of the human condition, a continual conversation about events and runway shows engages consumers with the story behind the brand. It’s not simply about being beautiful and fabulous, there is depth and a story which emotionally connects us to be inspired and feel empowered by wearing and being part of the brand. House of Gharats using art and installations to support and create awareness of ocean pollution is important. Using your platform and resources to give back to the planet is our duty as humans and being able to understand the process from the perspective of a brand creates trust.

The website is well organized and shown the value and philosophy of the brand clearly, also the commit of highest quality, which are: best silk twill, crafted in Italy.
Scarves are the perfect medium which maximize the beauty of printed textile. Seems like the brand is creating wearable and functional art pieces.
The designs are exuberant and full of details, well balanced between traditional motifs and contemporary approach. The ‘Inspration’ section under each collection shares the backstories and the thoughts of designers with the customers, generously. It makes people feel involved, they are not just buying accessories, they purchasing unique textile pieces with meanings.

1. I really like the bold use of colour, colour blocking and the motifs placement, as a print design student I use that a lot as well. The prints on the scarves are really detailed and intricate which really shows the quality of the print, it also beings out the tradition of the scarves. It’s also really fun and playful.
2. I really find the 50 ways of tying a scarf really cute, I think that was the main thing that engaged me, its really interesting to find out all the different ways!
3.I also really like how it’s a sustainable company, I think that’s really important in the world we live in now.
Freya Gann
1. House of Gharats first attracted me due to the unique and exciting ideas which are well principled outlook due to the links with sustainability.
2. Through further research, I was inspired by the colour application and colour harmony of the scarfs as the designs were all individual and obviously well considered.
3. The accessibility and professional layout of the website was also something that caught my eye, as this is an important aspect for a business due to there being a consistent growth in the share of online sales.
Jacinta
House of Gharats has the same values that I do. They focus on creating a fashionable and artistic product that is sustainably made by workers with fair conditions.
I couldn’t live with the idea of working for a brand that wouldn’t have any interest in where, how and by who their product is made. Whatever it is that we do, that same thing will have an impact in someone else’s life. It could be in a good or bad way. Most of the fashion industry have a terrible impact in developing countries. Designers do not know or care about the living conditions of the people making their clothing as long as it is cheap and fast so people with no other job possibilities work endless hours on a day for $1. And even in some extreme cases, the people aren’t paid for their job.
Secondly, I believe sustainability shouldn’t be a choice but a must. The way of creating should be sustainable.
Third, I really like that each product is a piece of art that reflects an emotion or a moment of the artist. These types of collaborations will always lead to unique results and will open new paths for creating.

– I love the way House of Gharats is taking care of our planet. The first project that caught my attention is House of Gharats and Commonwealth Fashion Council collaborated to produce a design to highlight oceans pollution. Fabric is really important to this collection, some of which is made with Seacell (seaweed fibers), this is stunning to me as well as the pattern and the design. When you are wearing one of this scarf you have a part of the ocean with you.
-I had the impression that through your products you try to tell stories, stories of different cultures. In my opinion, the main task of fashion is to unite cultures by showing the beauty of their difference, and this is what I think “House of Gharats” is trying to do. Every scarfs tell a story, a unique one.
-I am on your same page, your motto is the same of mine “As sustainable As Possibile, As Soon As Possibile”. We’ve been destroying our world so now we must find a way to fix it.
