AKHL was founded by Akhil Nagpal in 2019. After graduating from the renowned Central Saint Martins College of Art and Design in 2017 with various honours, he worked with leading designers in London and New Delhi before starting his label AKHL in 2019.
AKHL is defined by its unyielding commitment to crafting new-age and evocative pieces of fashion, constructed by radically contemporizing traditional garment and textile hand making techniques. The genesis of all designs at AKHL is rooted in the development of distinctive and complex textiles, engineered using unusual materials and a wide range of re-invented textile crafting processes, including hand-weaving, hand-interlacing, traditional hand-embroidery, applique and gradient hand-dyeing.
