With its roots dug deep in quality craftsmanship and refined tailoring, Kanika Goyal Label finds its identity by playing with the principle of paradox. The labels identity, while imbibing on the ideals of luxury, weaves the evolution of a multicultural designer with an ever-maturing design perspective.
Kanika Goyal Label aims at its continuous endeavors of delivering intellectually designed statement neo-luxury with a cool brand element.
Our perspective on self-expression and freedom of speech is built into the fabric of the brand. Celebrating a non-traditionalist point of view, we intend to deconstruct the rigid perception of tailoring, which is rarely viewed without its sartorial history. We combine elevated construction with elements that authentically define “now” and use humor as a vehicle to communicate our values and ideas. We constantly find our inspiration in architecture; the intersecting shapes and the play of shadow and light constantly inspires our modernist take on color-blocking.
We are committed to operating a modern and responsible business. From our efforts to uplift and empower women and making sure our artisans get the compensation that they deserve, to our constant endeavors to reduce and reuse waste, we are taking small steps to make ourselves more and more sustainable with time.
A graduate of National Institute of Fashion Technology, New Delhi, Kanikas affinity to design & innovation instantly translated into a raging passion. She was constantly surrounded by shapes, angles and lines as a design student, which further enhanced her perspective. Eager to experiment, she went on to explore opportunities with the best in the industry. A series of varied internships later, Kanika, having satiated her appetite for a multidimensional profile, stepped closer to her passion.
Consequently, at Parsons The New School for Design, New York, Kanika was absorbed in a world of immaculacy. While she fine-tuned her skills in all spheres of design, she sincerely focused on evolving from a designer to a global couturier. From illustrious internships at Marchesa and Prada to assisting Bibhu Mohapatra for a year and a half, Kanika delved into the world of exquisite garments and more importantly, bespoke philosophies. Her strenuous hours at these design houses were exceedingly instrumental in establishing her obsession for quality and detail. It was here that the designer streamlined her precious influences into a singular, more compact design philosophy and launched her namesake label later in 2014.
