Plantation House

Shalini Subramanian constantly draws inspiration from the kimono, the bedouins, Ella Fitzgerald, Tadao Ando, a long Sunday afternoon, The Buena Vista Social Club, Yohji Yamamoto and Commes Des Garcons. She strives to achieve an elegant identity that isn’t a high fashion, but something that is inclusive, approachable and yet clearly speaks simplicity. Plantation House is Shalini's signature apparel brand. Fashioned with values that work across contours of seasons and styles, it creates clothing and accessories with an attention to material, craftsmanship and practicality.

The logo harks back to times when architects and designers approached other disciplines from positions of awareness. Using a typeface derived from an architect's lettering on his institutional buildings, the logo is unobtrusive and resonates the brand's uncompromising functionalism.

Each garment is individually and carefully packaged by the creator at the point of sale. The labeling used stamps to individually mark labels with materials and sizes.
