Vishesh Pandey’s “7 WHEELS”
B.Sc. in Fashion and Apparel Design 2022
In an age where lines between fashion, technology, and narratives are increasingly getting dissolved, Vishesh Pandey’s collection “7 WHEELS – The Balance of the Eternal Thread” is a visionary and daring task. Inspired by the ancient knowledge of the seven chakras and the transmutational powers of the three gunas, Sattva, Rajas, and Tamas, this avant-garde gaming collection is designed for in-game characters.
From earthy reds to celestial whites, a colour arc that embodies “7 WHEELS” reshapes spiritual evolution from survival to transcendence. Each chakra is reimagined in sumptuously dramatic silhouettes: tiered, flowing robes, billowy light drapes, and gossamer fabrics alive with energy—chiffon, velvet, muslin, tissue, nd space silk, adding modernistic depth to this metaphysical fantasy.
What makes this collection unique is its convergence with the world of games. Created for cosplayers, game designers, creators, and narrators, every look becomes a character, brushed with abilities, talents, and visuality that are connected to chakra energy. The collection is not only wearable, but playable. A harmony of beauty and compassion, Vishesh’s collection erases boundaries between clothes and avatar, story and wisdom.
In the face of adversity in the guise of cultural sensitivity and functional design, “7 WHEELS” approaches boldly and softly—connecting the past and technology, provoking thought, change, and inspiring narratives. Vishesh does not present fashion but a paradigm shift in design thinking.
