Studio Dialectica

Centering on gender expression and sustainability, Studio Dialectica honours rich cultures and traditions that intertwine in the west by modernizing traditional Indian silhouettes. Key styles which have become staples in the closets of both men and women are streamlined to create genderless interpretations. Modular separates that could easily integrate into any daywear wardrobe complete these innovative and time-honouring collections. Detachable sleeves, hoods, and pant cuffs are only a few of the modular options offered to the wearer. In addition to modularity, Studio Dialectica makes use of repurposing garments, certified fabrics, natural and recycled fibers to ensure responsible creation. Pre-owned saris, salwar kameez and more have been revived into new garments. Hand-printed fabrics that are designed in house also make up a large part of the brand’s identity. Studio Dialectica offers a new take on traditional dress with playful yet sophisticated pieces that are sure to make a statement and stand the test of time.

We believe that creating a sustainable environment is of the utmost importance in today’s world, and we recognize that true sustainability is only possible in an inclusive and accessible space. Studio Dialectica was born when we realized that cutting edge ideas, innovation, and prominent topics in fashion like sustainability and gender expression are rarely applied to cultural clothing. At Studio Dialectica, we think everyone should be part of the conversation. By creating genderless, seasonless pieces that are made from repurposed and natural fibers, inspired by the world, we’re encouraging all kinds of people to responsibly and authentically be themselves. We want clothing lovers to educate themselves and abandon the fear around appreciating culture. 

We know what it’s like to be immersed in a kaleidoscope of culture while trying to separate and sort the pieces - but we don’t believe in separating and sorting the pieces. Our work embraces the intersections of “where we come from” so that we can write our own dialect.
