Kalan has “taken her childhood loves of colour and play, and her interests in history, cultures and old craftsmanship” and turned them into something special.
Drawing inspiration from her Indian heritage, the designer says her South African life filled with global and local mixes of experiences has also helped to create her unique style and signature.
The label represents a way of bringing oneness and a new story by fusing together the love of old crafts and techniques with modern living.
Each item is designed with great detail and care to bring you a story that comes alive when you put on a garment for the first time and when others look at you with a sparkle of curiosity in their eyes.
Kalan has easily solidified herself as a brand to watch and is identified as being especially innovative, pioneering and striking in her work – so it’s no surprise that she was invited to showcase her Autumn/Winter Collection at the recent SA Fashion Week.
The quirky detail of her latest range takes a more serious approach when compared with previous seasons, but it does this without losing the naivety of her other collections.
