Freedom and Spirit<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Born and brought up in Kerala, India, Kiran has always been influenced by the culture, ideologies, landscapes, nature, art forms and the crafts of the South. \u201cIndia and its multitude of cultures is a constant source of inspiration for design and life. And I was always fascinated by the idea of fashion design \u2013 the ability to tell stories, create art, and express oneself through garments that everyone uses on a daily basis. So as soon as schooling was over I enrolled myself at National Institute of Fashion Technology and graduated in June of 2010.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kiran took her time to explore different worlds before deciding to manifest her dream in Auroville. \u201cAfter working for other brands and companies, learning and furthering my skills, I felt a need to express myself, instead of trying to fit in already existing structures. So, two years back, I started Dream studio. At Dream Studio we create handmade jewellery, accessories and now, clothing. The clothing line brand is named after me\u2013Kiran Kamal. It made sense to get into clothing, as my specialty is apparel design and clothing has always been in my mind ever since Dream Studio was formed.\u201d She has a clear idea for her target audience: \u201cI see young women wearing my collection, girls who haven\u2019t lost their freedom and spirit, who dare to stand out and have fun!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
