Pankaj Kumar | Denim Designer
“Denim is my canvas. Innovation is my thread.”
I am a passionate denim designer with over 12 years of hands-on experience in crafting bold, trend-forward, and commercially successful denim collections. From concept development to final production, I specialize in creating pieces that blend streetwear energy with timeless craftsmanship.
My expertise lies in denim washes, surface treatments, fabric development, and fit engineering. I’ve worked across global markets and understand how to balance fashion-forward aesthetics with functionality and sustainability.
Driven by a love for texture, detail, and storytelling, I believe denim is more than a fabric—it's a culture. Each collection I design is rooted in youth expression, utility-driven design, and the evolving spirit of rebellion.
Whether it’s vintage reworks, oversized silhouettes, utility wear, or sustainable innovations—I design denim that speaks louder than trends.
