Beyond Binary by Kumari Sandhya B.

B.Sc. in Fashion and Apparel Design 2022

In Beyond Binary, fashion designer Kumari Sandhya B. defies the norms of conventional gendered fashion through a highly evolved and inclusive process. This androgynous semi-formal wear line reconceptualises tailoring and construction through the lens of freedom, fluidity, and personal expression.

The range celebrates subtlety and neutrality, opting for a subtle spectrum of pale, muted colours that enables the wearer’s personality to dominate over the clothing. It is not about loud adornments, but about clever design and careful craftsmanship.

Silhouettes harmoniously combine aspects of menswear and womenswear. Look for fitted blazers with uneven hems, wide-leg pants with fluidity, plain shirts, and layered sets that are made to fit and flatter different silhouettes. Each item is built to step outside the limiting category and to provide versatility, comfort, and understated sophistication.

Beyond Binary is more than a fashion brand—it’s a statement of identity, a statement of inclusivity and empowerment. It appeals to people who feel disenfranchised by the rigidity of traditional fashion and desire clothing that speaks to their own values and freedom of personal aesthetic expression.

Beyond Binary by Kumari Sandhya B

By breaking past the binaries, Sandhya B. invites the wearer to enter a landscape where fashion is no longer demarcated by gender but by self. Beyond Binary is reserved yet uncompromising, modern yet timeless—a celebration of authenticity, self-definition, and the shifting atlas of individual style.
