WARIS AHLUWALIA IS AN ACTOR AND DESIGNER WHO IS DRIVEN BY A DEEP AND ABIDING DESIRE TO CREATE STORIES, PRODUCTS, AND EXPERIENCES THAT CAPTIVATE, TRANSPORT, AND SHIFT PERCEPTION. IN 2007, HE FOUNDED HOUSE OF WARIS, A COMPANY DEDICATED TO EXPLORING DESIGN THROUGH CRAFTSMANSHIP. WARIS HAS BEEN NOMINATED FOR THE VOGUE FASHION FUND AND WAS AWARDED THE CFDA INCUBATOR GRANT.

OVER THE YEARS, WARIS HAS WORKED WITH A WIDE VARIETY OF ORGANIZATIONS AND BRANDS — EVERYTHING FROM FASHION CAMPAIGNS TO DESIGN COLLABORATIONS — INCLUDING KENZO, THE KOOPLES, GAP, TORY BURCH, GUCCI, HOLT RENFREW, AND APC, TO NAME A FEW. AS AN ACTOR, WARIS HAS WORKED WITH ACCLAIMED DIRECTORS SUCH AS WES ANDERSON, SPIKE LEE, AND LUCA GUADAGNINO. IN THE FALL OF 2016, THE MAYOR OF NEW YORK CITY PROCLAIMED OCTOBER 19TH AS WARIS AHLUWALIA DAY, COMMEMORATING WARIS’S WORK IN SPREADING TOLERANCE AND INCLUSIVITY THROUGH HIS CREATIVE AND SOCIAL-IMPACT ENDEAVORS.

We will announce through our newsletter when new work, such as the Artist Knit Kit series by Waris Ahluwalia arrives for sale and all collaborative projects with Hesperios.
