PINANKI

PINANKI is a London-based womenswear brand that works with a unique blend of craft-based, minimal-waste practices at the forefront. Drawing inspiration from the rich textiles and clothing archives of South Asia, we are inspired by the dress and life of a woman in the precolonial era, resulting in garments that are not only visually stunning but also environmentally intentional. 

Pinanki's journey began in the maximalist city of Mumbai, where she was raised. She pursued a BA in Fashion in the heritage city of Jaipur, learned sustainable fashion practices in the experimental town of Auroville, and graduated with an MA in Fashion from Central Saint Martins. Throughout her career, Pinanki has gained valuable experience working with visionary brands like 431-88 by Shweta Kapur in Delhi and Pam Hogg in London. 

While pursuing an MA in Fashion Womenswear in Central Saint Martins, Pinanki earned the L'Oréal Professionnel Scholarship for her graduation collection in 2023 and the Sally Woodward Award in 2022. Her work has been featured on Vogue Runway, SHOWstudio, Another Magazine, T Magazine, 1 Granary, Fashion United, V Magazine and Port Magazine.
