The New Optimist

Polimoda alumnus Shivin Singh is a naturally curious and artistic designer, who is unconventionally relaxed when faced with fashion’s conventions around gender or representation. He is porous to the world, its beauty and art, and he radiates a sure optimism, something of a rarity nowadays. His ability to merge his personal cultural references with modern silhouettes and intentions makes for a contemporary and exciting debut collection.

Born in New Delhi and raised in Dubai, Shivin’s path follows a from finance to fashion trajectory: starting with finance and accounting in the US, before turning his attention to the latter. After completing the Undergraduate in Fashion Design Management program at Polimoda, he interned at Gucci in the Handbags Collection Merchandising team, before becoming Founder and Director at Absent Findings.
