A year ago, if you'd told me Shikra London would be walking a runway at New York Fashion Week, I would have laughed. Politely. And then quietly told you that you had the wrong brand.
But here we are.
Shikra London has been invited by the incredible Pankti Doshi to walk The Silk Road Runway in New York on 12 September.
I keep coming back to what that sentence actually means. This is a brand I built from my family's story, from my grandparents, from a journey that carried us from India to South Africa.
A story of people who left everything they knew and rebuilt, again and again, so that someone down the line might get to stand somewhere they never imagined. I don't think any of them could have pictured this. A saree, reimagined, walking down a runway in New York.
There's a heaviness in it too. I'm still carrying the grief of losing my uncle, and he'll be with me on this, top of mind every single step down that runway. Some moments you wish you could hand directly to the people who are no longer here to see them. This is one of them.
If you're in New York on 12 September, come and see us. I would love nothing more than to share this in person. Tickets are in my bio.
Thanks to the gorgeous for being my model and the talented for the video footage😍
