KARTIK RESEARCH FW2025: need everything

– Kartik Kumra: “The conversation around craft should almost not be a conversation, to me, it should be implied.”

“Founded by Kartik Kumra in 2021, Kartik Research is an artisanal fashion brand based in New Delhi, India. The core tenet of Kartik Research is to reintroduce humanness into clothing; each item of clothing has a handmade touch. The pieces feature a reversion to old world craftsmanship, with wovens being produced on handlooms and the embroideries are all done by hand.

Kartik draws inspiration from India’s rich subcultures, exploring themes of heritage and aspiration through its collections. From the aesthetics of 60s psychedelic rock to the Indo-modernist art of the 80s, the brand aims to explore how traditional crafts reflect our cultural movements. Kartik Research collaborates closely with master artisans to revive forgotten Indian crafts and bring them to a global audience.

Kartik Research’s FW25 collection draws inspiration from the philosophies of Indo-modernist visionaries Doshi and Husain, creating garments that offer a fresh approach to Indian heritage through craftsmanship. The collection strikes a harmonious balance between honoring tradition and embracing modernity.”
