The three things that stand out to me on the website are actually three work pieces, Kalighat Cat Silk, Tea Party in Wonderland, and Queens Horses. The colour ways strike me and the illustrative qualities in the line work link in ways to my own drawing style and they are quite beautiful.

The three things that mean something to me from House of Gharats is;
1. The historical references in the textiles.
2. The attention to detail of said historical references.
3. The use of colour and animals in the textiles, also how they marry together to create beautiful elegant fabrics.

1) The introduction is strong, it has meaning beyond just a fashion house, the will to change the world is more motivating than just a simple introduction of the house’s history, changing the world, as you say one scarf at a time is what I call help humanity to evolve, even a small grain of change would be a great start when I read the text I feel it has a purpose, the kind of purpose I want to have and want to share.
2) The fact that the inspiration is detailed in each collection is a way to make anyone who reads it not only understand it more and feels more connected to it, but it also provides knowledge to the person, a knowledge that has cultural and historical value, and I appreciate that kind of information, I try to provide the same kind of facts and information when I make a design.
3) Loyalty to a style, would be another thing that has caught my interest. No matter what inspiration the House chooses, the style of design remains the same, giving it a very unique and differential personality, which is a valuable principle to me. I don’t believe in changing oneself to adapt to momentary trends, but adapting the trends to oneself.

I really appreciate the stories behind each piece; how the designers manage to create fascinatingly modern pieces that tell and maintain a traditional vibe, also the rash of vibrant colours is an amazing aspect as it gives an air of liveliness. Another thing that I personally admire is the engagement created on the website by asking probable interns to leave their answers on the website.

Colour — Something that I can instantly see on every page of your website is your joyous use of colour. This is a passion which I share with you; I am constantly thinking about new colourful designs that I can create, and taking snaps of unexpected colour combinations wherever I go. I feel that wearing colour can brighten up ones world, and can provide a feeling of positivity during difficult times.
Culture — I really enjoy your influences, and beautiful reflections of culture, tradition and narrative. This strikes me as something that makes you special as a brand – I can tell that you put your heart and soul into your work, which to me is what makes good design, and is something that is not always present in other brands.
Change — I loved what you wrote about design being a ‘superpower’, and it really resonated with me. Why should a piece be simply ‘pretty’? I am passionate about design that is not only beautiful, but has depth, and a driving force for learning, and change. What we wear can be used as a statement and can tell a story.

I am especially interested in your various collective projects, such as Biswa Bangla at the London Design Festival, promoting local artisans of West Bengal. These types of initiatives are what I would love to do in the future in different parts of the world. I like House of Gharats for this engagement and how it shows in the work you do.
I like the sustainable projects you do as well, such as the Sea Cell Silk Scarf Collection. I appreciate how this very unique idea and the care taken to make it as sustainable as possible, is healthy for the skin, and also has gorgeous colorful prints.
What I also like is the How to Tie a Scarf page. I think it is an interesting way to encourage your consumers to personalize your designs according to their style. In this way rather than just providing a luxury piece, you are creating for them something which they can be most comfortable in and which can become a part of them.

The future of fashion is uncertain in the current climate we live in, but with the possibility of being sustainable with the advancement and engaging technology we have. I feel it is important for brands to adapt and engage with their audience, in order to maintain their vision for the future. With social media as one of the number one accessible and highly used tools, it is important for brands to keep up with popularity as well as see what else is out there.
The future of retail is being able to connect and satisfy customers on an individual and personal level and maintain a high standard of service.
Style from my point of view means being able to express, feel-good and confident about yourself. Personally, it has always been about standing out a bit and finding new and unique styles that are eye-catching and resonate with me and who I am.

Why House of Gharats?
The designs. They combine the old and new, mixing tradition and culture with creativity and modern expressions of beauty. One design collection that I felt especially connected with was ‘Arts of Seduction’. Its bold, vibrant designs are woven with a sensual feel, telling stories, honouring culture and communicating old and new philosophies of love and pleasure.
Involvement and bigger picture. The design house is incredibly conscious of environmental and social issues and is finding creative ways to contribute to change. Its commitment to making a positive impact on the world gives deeper meaning to its products and work. One feature I resonate with is the commitment to Blue Fashion — and the subsequent decision to incorporate seaweed into the textile fibre itself! What a creative and practical way to communicate an important message.
Commitment to quality and connection. The desire to create products that are meant to be cherished for a long time, that speak to the consumer through deeper meaning and a connection to values creates a space that honours the experience of beauty and memory.

The entire ethos of House of Gharats aligns with my own. The fact that the website tells the entire brand story really pulls the customer into a journey for their purchase instead of it just being a meaningless exchange of goods. This creates a positive brand image and a more memorable experience.
I really enjoy how there is an explanation of the design process and background for each scarf. This way the customer feels connected in some way to know more about their piece which in turn creates a stronger love for it.
The ‘collective’ section showcasing the sustainable and charity work of the brand is really admirable and important to set as an example for all fashion brands. I believe when we are putting good out into the world it gets returned back to us.

Why House of Gharats, point 3 things on the website that mean something to you?
House of Gharats was started by Neishaa Gharat who is an Indian designer. Her Indian culture is referenced in her work. Similarly, with my Indian background, I can relate and align with the aesthetics and design concepts of the brand which would help me create work for the organisation with a deeper understanding. The other element that spoke to me was the empowerment of women, as a woman of colour I feel the struggles of placing myself in the workforce and House of gharats by “breaking the cycle of poverty” is providing a big step in independence for women. Lastly the quality and design of items. Being handcrafted in Italy shows the substance of the material and allows its consumer to use the product for a long time which reduces fast fashion.
Anna Johnston
-The brand is driven by the values of art and craft rather than fashion and as a result your designs are not about trends but are timeless, ethical clothes. I love this idea that the art and craft and quality comes before anything else with your creations, as this is so different to many brands where the quality and craftmanship and artisan of garments are mostly lost and are not made for longevity.
– ‘They are a canvas for experimentation and a voice for your message’ Quoted from your article, ‘The Power of Dress’ struck me as a great statement as you’re interweaving cultures, highlighting social changes and juxtaposition between tradition and modernity. I like how your garments are created conceptually and with great thought into the power of design. This reminded me of my research into propaganda textiles and how a garment can have power to represent something or possess the power for thought.
-I was very pleased to know that you state to put people and planet at the heart of your purpose and maintain sustainable, low impact production with responsible manufacturing and furthermore, each scarf supports a social or environmental cause, such as using seacell fabric or raising money for the Big Issue.

The first thing I loved the most about the House of Gharats is diversity in culture. What made me fall in love with Indian textiles a few years back was, It’s diverse heritage, colors, and the stories behind them. Looking at pieces of Pichwai, Kalighat, and Pattachitra paintings with a twist of the modern era is something that blew my mind.
I have had the opportunity of working with the artisans previously and have the utmost respect for the magic they create. House of Gharats working with local artisans and creating different stories behind every piece is something that intrigued me the most.
The second thing which really moved me was the sustainable approach.
Be it, working with local artisans, and supporting them, acting with a more responsible fiber, seaweed fiber in their new collection, or by the product itself. The scarf. I believe a scarf can be the most sustainable possession you can carry. It can be styled in various ways, Be used by everyone, and can become a precious piece of heirloom too, which can be passed to further generations.
The third thing that attracted me has to be the bright, welcoming fun color palette. Growing up in India, that too Rajasthan, Use of vivid colors is something that is really close to my heart and style.

The future of fashion is sustainability.
The future of retail is…media is becoming the “store”.
Style from my point of view means….expressing oneself.

3 things that interested me :
The inspiration for The House of Gharats has originated from the love for culture and tradition. We can find a strong presence of these embedded in every piece, creating a timeless and elegant design each telling a story of its own.
India has long been associated with colours due to its festival, costume, paintings. The House of Gharats has made these their identity by depicting these in their bold, bright, and colourful scarves, which are true to the traditional identity of India.
Sustainability within the industry.

Seeing images of traditional weaver. As a weave graduate my only experience with weaving has been in the university loom shed or large weaving mills in England, so to see people on the other side of the world doing the same thing that I was doing at University is really humbling to see.
The importance of sustainability in the design of each of the scarves.
The use of colour!!! It is just incredible. Lots of people seem to be scared of colour these days but the prints are a glorious explosion of balanced and propositioned colour.
