“A dosa doesn’t ask if a man or woman is going to eat it. Food is gender-neutral. It’s the same with clothes. Fashion is also gender-neutral,” says Pranav Misra, who started Huemn, a ready-to-wear label along with Shyma Shetty in 2012. Spelt Huemn but pronounced as human, it is a wordplay to showcase all the hues in humans, and how people are different from each other.
The Delhi-based label started with an idea between two youngsters trying to make a difference, and inclusivity was their core belief. “We have been trained in design and it’s the only medium through which we could communicate our voice,” says Pranav, an advocate of genderless fashion.
