URBAN POTTERY




URBAN POTTERY

The collection is inspired from the pottery work; the potter is not constrained by the potter's wheel and can give form to his imagination without restrictions. The pottery has come a long way in terms of shape and surface decorations in order to keep pace with the changing tastes, sensibilities and technology. 

According to Aakanksha, when the crazy, whacky and sophisticated meet, a new style is born. Inspired from imperfection around and raw influences into the clothes that are modern electric, and that transcend singular fads. Focus on creating garments that have unique global vibe. Revolutionizing the use of traditional materials into innovative craft technique with her edgy, quirky, contemporary work exploring and blending newer shapes material.
