The Collection
Six Metres, Infinite Form:
The Sari and the Silhouettes of the West
The collection of eight classic silhouettes, inspired by some of Western Fashion's most iconic forms through the ages are reinterpreted with drape, color, and symbolism of Indian saris. The significance of specific colors, regional draping traditions, and storytelling inherent in these textiles brings new depth to these iconic looks.
The Eight Looks
Fashion history,
rewritten in silk
Each silhouette carries centuries of Western fashion history — now given new life in the drape and colour of an Indian sari.
The Designer
Born in South India.
Trained in Paris style.
Made in Seattle.
Growing up in South India, visits to a tailor were filled with excitement, anticipation — and a little fear. The thrill of being handed a beautifully finished garment you helped design is, Dhivya says, unparalleled. That feeling is what she has built her entire practice around.
At 30, she reinvented her career — going back to fashion school in San Francisco, training in French pattern-making, draping and design, before a coveted internship at Marchesa in New York City. Dressmaker and mother since 2013. Studio in Queen Anne, Seattle since 2019.
"My creations are my interpretations of the dual, conflicting, east-meets-west world that I inhabit."
