With over a decade of experience in textile crafts and fashion, untitle is founded by Nikita Shah in 2021.
At untitle, we create made-to-order clothing that blends personal memorial textiles with deadstock fabrics sourced from artisans in India. Our approach challenges the conventional fashion industry model and its mass-production methods, prioritizing sustainability and craftsmanship. Each garment is meticulously crafted in New York City's historic Garment District, ensuring ethical production and a commitment to quality.
Nikita earned a degree in textile design at the National Institute of Fashion Technology in India. She went onto running operations as the head designer for an influential brand in India, known for its dedication to preserving traditional Indian textiles. She delved further into the world of textile crafts by living amongst artisans and weavers across over ten textile clusters at the grassroots of India. She continued to push her creative boundaries and hone her craft by majoring in fashion design at the Fashion Institute of Technology in New York. She also consults for NEST Expert Network, an agency developed to advance the creative artisan economy.​
Nikita is also a visual artist and scholar. You can find her art and academic work here​
