“The places I call home - New York, Paris and Mumbai - have always been centres of fashion, culture and art in their own ways and I grew up having blurred the lines between the end of one art form and the start of another,” says Sohni.

The beginning…
“My love for human connection took me to Boston University to get a degree in Psychology, after which I studied design at The New School, Parsons in NYC. I had the opportunity to work with a trend consultancy in Paris, and write lyrics for rappers in New York and finally, after learning and working with the design teams of Pearl by Marchesa, Nanette Lepore and textile-focused designers such as Duro Olowu, I made my way back home to Mumbai a few years ago to start my own niche design label, House of Sohn, with the purpose of using local weaves to create a new-age contemporary look,” muses the designer.
House Of Sohn
HOUSE OF SŌHN – a women’s contemporary label – was created as a way to tell inspiring stories about women, art and culture from all over the world. It uses fabric as its medium, and women as the blank canvas. Each outfit is a piece of her and each collection, a vignette of her life. The comfortable fabrics, unrestricted silhouettes and calming colour palette are all a celebration of that free lifestyle.
