BISKIT’s vision is to create a design studio at the intersection of fashion, art, design, and collaboration. Seeing how the clothing industry has long been shaped and categorized as menswear and womenswear, a BISKIT piece is designed to break the binary of gender.

IN CONVERSATION WITH SIBLING DUO HARSHA AND SHRUTI BISWAJIT, ABOUT THEIR MULTIDISCIPLINARY DESIGN STUDIO, WHICH IS A UNIQUE CONFLUENCE OF FASHION, ART AND DESIGN - FULL ARTICLE

Sibling duo Harsha and Shruti Biswajit were brought up in Madras by artistically inclined parents. Their father, a cartoonist and illustrator, and their mother, a painter and sculptor who owns an art gallery, raised them in a creatively stimulating environment. With the skills that they acquired early on, it was imperative they established their own individual identities. Harsha ventured out to explore the field of visual art and further moved to New York to pursue a masters from SVA in Digital Fine Arts. Shruti on the other hand, went on to study Fashion Design from FIT and then specialised in sportswear with a degree from Politecnico Di Milano.

Although it was the Biswajit siblings who reached out to Gents and asked if they should do a collaboration, Niels and Theis have long talked about the fact that they would like to try to make some merchandise that was of extra good quality. They just hadn't known how to approach such a production.

Together with BISKIT, it suddenly became possible to make trousers, t-shirts and jumpers with a focus on both quality and some additional design details such as pockets, dropped-shoulder fit and longer t-shirt sleeves.
