Kartik Research

The Spring/Summer 2024 collection placed two contrasting Indian figures in the same wardrobe: the Maharaja of Indore, associated with modernist patronage, and cricketer Sourav Ganguly. Tailoring, sportswear and decorative textiles turned aristocratic modernity and mass sporting culture into parallel forms of aspiration.

Presented under the Karu Research name, the collection expanded the brand’s cultural research beyond craft technique alone and preceded its official Paris calendar entry.
