Purushu Arie

Often credited with bringing genderless fashion to India, the brand Purushu Arie believes that "products do not have a gender identity, our minds do". This is a high-fashion brand, selling both Indian and Western clothing. You can pick up a veshti, a tailored checkered lungi, and pair it with a hand-stenciled Madrasta crop top. A slogan written on some of the brand's most recent designs reads, "Ungender," reflecting its dedication to promoting gender fluidity. Their tanks tops flaunt words like "uncaste" and "unclass". The brand is experimental in style, seamlessly blending the traditional with the modern.
