Priya Ahluwalia’s journey in the fashion world is a testament to her unique vision and commitment to sustainability, cultural heritage, and ethical practices.

As the Founder of Ahluwalia, she has carved out a distinctive space in menswear by blending elements from her diverse background and London upbringing.

Graduating from the MA Menswear course at the University of Westminster in 2018 and subsequently winning the H&M Design Award in 2019, Ahluwalia quickly established herself as a rising star in the industry.

Her brand stands out for its innovative approach to fashion, focusing on the revitalization of secondhand and deadstock clothing through creative textile techniques.

Drawing inspiration from her Indian-Nigerian heritage, Ahluwalia not only incorporates cultural elements into her designs but also prioritizes ethical production practices. By repurposing vintage materials in factories that provide fair employment opportunities to rural women, she intertwines social responsibility with her creative process.

Ahluwalia’s accolades, including being one of the joint winners of the 2020 LVMH Prize and winning the Queen Elizabeth II Award for British Design in 2021, underscore the industry’s recognition of her talent and contributions. Collaborations with esteemed brands like Ganni further showcase her versatility and appeal beyond menswear.

Participation in London Fashion Week through the British Fashion Council’s NEWGEN program and recognition on the shortlist for the 2020 LVMH Prize highlight Ahluwalia’s growing influence and presence in the fashion landscape.

With stockists like SSENSE, Browns, and Matches, her brand continues to gain traction among fashion enthusiasts globally, resonating with those who value both style and sustainability.

Congratulations!!
