About me _____
Nidhi Sanjaykumar, born on a little Indian island and brought up in the UK. I was initially intrigued in fashion after a TV series captured my interest. What started off as curiosity evolved into a desire to create. My work includes making clothing that evokes feelings, memories, and significance. My work explores identity, loss, by incorporating storytelling.
The emotional weight of clothing—how it may contain identity, memory, and silence—is what intrigues to me. In order to convey what cannot always be expressed, I frequently use unusual materials in my work, which focuses on expressing stories through form and texture. The interplay between tenderness and grit, legacy and revolt, and construction and deterioration is what interests me. Fashion, to me, is more than simply clothing; it's a language that goes beyond appearances.

Through fabric to create feelings—where design merges with memory, identity, and rebellion.
Memory, grief, and the breakdown of tradition are all topics covered in this collection. Using materials that feel delicate yet deliberate—red thread, layered denim, photograms, and sheer organza—each piece of clothing has an emotional weight. Themes of personal history, preservation, and distortion are echoed in these selections. I reflected the conflict between expression and rawness with exposed construction, layering, and pleats. Photograms of my grandfather's suit to burning childhood photograms to burning denim itself to show rage and legacy that gradually emerges. I focused on creating expressive silhouettes that are symbolic and true. In addition to being aesthetically pleasing, each style was intended to have significance in it's form and material. The procedure evolved into a method of facing the past, respecting what is left, and seeing beauty in what is broken. The final outcome is a collection influenced by resistance, introspection, and care that speaks quietly but powerfully.
