This Dubai-based designer is building a sustainable fashion label

Conceived in Florence, shaped by Indian heritage, and brought to life in Dubai, Absent Findings sits at the intersection of culture and craft. Founded by Dubai-based designer Shivin Singh, the contemporary fashion label has quickly carved out a distinct identity that blends South Asian references with modern silhouettes, while placing sustainability at its core. With collections crafted entirely from deadstock fabrics and heirloom saris, Absent Findings challenges the idea of newness in fashion, instead celebrating what already exists.

After training at Polimoda in Florence and working within Gucci’s Women’s Handbags department, Singh returned to the UAE to build the brand from the ground up. The result is a label that feels deeply personal yet globally relevant, earning recognition from platforms like Lineapelle, Milan Fashion Week, and the Black Carpet Awards, while remaining rooted in Dubai’s growing creative ecosystem.
