About Shantanu & Nikhil

As a brand, we, Shantanu & Nikhil, has always reiterated the vison of belonging to something that is bigger than oneself and it is the underlying spirit that symbolizes progressivism and distinctiveness. We do not wish to preach or dictate, we believe that the clothes create the dialogue. It is a brand for strong men & women who represent a mentality of fighting for what they believe in, a sentiment which is relevant to both India and the world. We believe in nostalgically re-inventing Indian history through the art of the cloth by constantly breaking the myriad stereotypical notions of tradition & fashion and instead breeding a new minimalistic culture of refined and progressive design depicting gender equality and cross-cultural expression, what emerges is the powerful, the strong, the fearless & the determined woman. Our silhouettes and colors do not represent the India of yore, or the India of the Raj but a take from the decadent past, to write the future. Dramatic and heroic re-appropriation of male presence through female form always takes center stage in our design philosophy -feminine/masculine, hard/soft, defend/protect is the brand direction for Shantanu & Nikhil.
