Sustainability is the future of fashion. If we do not make healthy choices as we enjoy fashion now, posterity will be hurt because of us.

Ahluwalia is one brand that has sustainability at its heart. Sustainable fashion is its delight and that delights us too. There is hope for a future in fashion.

About The Ahluwalia Brand

Priya Ahluwalia started the fashion brand Ahluwalia in the UK where she was born to a Nigerian father and an Indian mother. Despite being the very academic child who always had straight A’s, Priya surprised her parents by insisting on a career in fashion instead of becoming a Doctor.

Her journey into fashion which would later become the beginning of the road for the brand Ahluwalia started in UCA where she studied fashion.

She graduated there and worked with Beyonce’s Ivy Park and Wales Bonner before proceeding to do her MA at the University of Westminster. It was at UW that her passion for sustainability was kindled.

She then decided to make a difference so that the world in year 2043 won’t be depleted as predicted by one of her lecturers.

With the spark burning slowly in her heart, she visited her father in Lagos, Nigeria where she discovered a market full of second-hand clothing. That caught her curiousity and the spark in her became an ember. She went ahead to visit Panipat in India and discovered something similar too.

Set on fire by those two experiences, Priya launched her first fashion collection upon her graduation in 2018. With the collection, her eponymous brand was launched, and she has not looked back ever since.

Collections

The brand started with the SS19 collection. In it were patchwork trench coats, denim jackets, vintage jerseys and bold colours splashed around. Her collection was a hit as it was shown at the London Fashion Week in 2019 and it won her an H&M design award that same year.

The designer continued to do what she enjoyed, creating fashionable styles out of secondhand clothing. She has released 4 more collections after the first, all menswear. They include jerseys, trench coats, hoodies, shorts socks and denim jackets with African and Indian patterns and prints finding their way into it.

In this year 2021, she released a collection named “Liberation” inspired by the violence against black people around the world. The collection was full of trench coats with dull colours like brown, wine, black and navy blue.

Funding History

Winning the H&M Award in 2019 did the Alhuwalia brand a lot of good. There was the £3000 cash reward and publicity.

Shortly after, she was at the Paris Fashion Week, showcasing her collection and there she met big brands she partnered with in the beginning. The audience and partnerships made sales top-notch which resulted in more profits.

So far, the brand has been funded by its own profits.

Top Competitor

•Ozwald Boateng

Based in the UK too with African roots, sustainability in its heart and over 25 years of experience, Ozwald Boateng is a suitable competitor for Ahluwalia. The renowned menswear brand focuses on outfits for men, such as suits, jackets, and tail pants.

There are several sustainability events you can attend this week. You can click here to check them out.

    658539 850742Nice read. I just passed this onto a buddy who was doing some research on that. He just bought me lunch since I located it for him! Thus let me rephrase: Thanx for lunch! 962626

    Does your blog have a contact page? I’m having problems locating it but,
    I’d like to shoot you an email. I’ve got some creative ideas for your
    blog you might be interested in hearing. Either
    way, great site and I look forward to seeing it expand
    over time.

    Yesterday, while I was at work, my cousin stole my apple ipad and tested to see if it can survive a thirty foot drop,
    just so she can be a youtube sensation. My iPad is
    now broken and she has 83 views. I know this is entirely off
    topic but I had to share it with someone!

    Wow that was odd. I just wrote an incredibly long comment but after I
    clicked submit my comment didn’t show up. Grrrr… well I’m not writing all that over again. Anyway, just wanted to say
    fantastic blog!

    I am curious to find out what blog system you happen to
    be working with? I’m experiencing some minor security issues with my latest website and
    I would like to find something more safeguarded.
    Do you have any solutions?

    You actually make it seem so easy with your presentation but I find this topic
    to be really something which I think I would never understand.

    It seems too complex and extremely broad for me. I’m looking forward for your
    next post, I’ll try to get the hang of it!

    Thanks!

    Greetings from Idaho! I’m bored to death at work so I decided to browse your blog on my iphone during lunch break.
    I enjoy the knowledge you present here and can’t wait to take a look when I get home.
    I’m surprised at how fast your blog loaded on my phone ..
    I’m not even using WIFI, just 3G .. Anyhow, fantastic blog!
