QUOD IS A STRIKING EXPLORATION OF POWER, NATURE & FEMININITY

Amongst several other labels emerging in the contemporary fashion realm, Ikshit Pande’s QUOD really brings along an edge that is not easy to forget. Shuttling between two culturally distinct cities, New York and New Delhi, QUOD’s collection carries the semblance of the pace, culture and the vibrance that both these cities have to offer. Pande’s creations are a bold union of elements in fashion that would otherwise be considered as polar opposites. Uniting modern streetwear, experimental tailoring and period femininity, QUOD produces ensembles that are a powerful imagination of what 21st century dressing could look like.

Ikshit’s personal influences are vast. His creative vision may be translated to tangible objects through QUOD, but its inspiration stems from things beyond touch. The brand is a collective result of all of them, and we are glad it is.

“Men, women, how they dress and style themselves, people on the streets, nature in a huge way, architecture and shapes in things and objects, there are a lot of things that inspire me. Although I do keep going back to nature. Perhaps because of my being born and brought up in the foothills of Himalayas, there is a recurring connection to nature and all of its forces.”
