About
SHANDANA is a British milliner known for highly innovative headwear. SHANDANA employs a multidisciplinary approach to creating meaningful work, where she merges concepts, techniques, and processes from diverse disciplines ranging from traditional hatmaking and artisanal heritage crafts to high technology, science, robotics, biology, fine art and literature.
SHANDANA creates meaningful fashion in an effort to raise fashion beyond the superficial and to infuse higher aesthetics and intellectual sensibility in design that adds substance to style and speaks to an intelligent clientele.SHANDANA sees her craft as both a form of self-expression and an instrument of change. She, therefore, employs it to actively engage with dynamic socio-political, environmental, and cultural terrain surrounding her.By questioning and commenting on significant matters such as identity, freedom of expression, social hierarchy, and environment, she tries to actively engage in the discourse about the future of humanity and the planet. Her oeuvre frequently encompasses concepts derived from her literary explorations, incorporating poetry fragments or citations from her readings. Words or text occupy a vital place in her repertoire, which she deftly integrates with her innovative materials to produce intellectually stimulating pieces of art.
