Together we are '𝗛𝗼𝘂𝘀𝗲 𝗼𝗳 𝗞𝗮𝗹𝗮𝗿𝘁' - the power house.
When we were looking for a name for the label, we tried coining our names together and many found it very cool. We also did a survey and everyone loved the ring of it. The name was also something that they could recall. It was the perfect name for us since it was not just an amalgamation of our names, the word also means art(squared), exactly what our products are all about, artistic, creative, colourful.
As for the logo, how did we come up with this logo? The concept was developed by my cousin, a visual storyteller and branding expert. It was her idea to integrate Tamil and Hindi 'ka' with English 'K', the concept represents ' globalism'. Our products scream happy hues! I wanted the logo to represent everything the label stands for; Global aesthetics, amalgamation of varied art forms and colours. The logo is also bold which aligns with our tagline ‘ 𝗕𝗲 𝗕𝗼𝗹𝗱𝗹𝘆 𝗬𝗼𝘂’.

“ I am a graduate from NIFT and also certified in Jewellery making and Gemmology from SINGEM. As a child, I had always been fascinated by arts and crafts. My inspiration was my aunt who taught me different forms of crafts such as glass painting, origami, hot wax painting during my summer vacations.
I would constantly draw designs on my school books, and I developed an interest in jewellery during my study of fashion designing. This led me to combine two of my passions, art and jewellery, which became a stepping stone to my career.
Colours and textures not only inspire me, it also instigates a play of design in my head and to physically touch, hold and add character to something that was just an idea brings me immense joy. I take pride in personally hand painting or embellishing each piece.
My love for abstract art led me to create mixed media painting where I express my soul through colours on a canvas.
With an experience of more than a decade of working in fashion shoots and movies, Style Consultation came as an off shoot of my continuous interest in fashion.
I started House of Kalart as a venture where abstract representations of different art forms is married with metalsmithing to create a well handcrafted fashion jewellery. Along with Painting and Styling, the venture aims to create a holistic fashion experience for a bold and dramatic woman!”
