Days Of Rest

Days Of Rest Yavï

‘Art and soul’ sums up the spirit of Yavï, a young, contemporary womenswear label established in 2016. Founder Yadvi Agarwal’s lifelong fascination with textile and fine art—coupled with her in-depth study of indigenous craft systems—have coalesced into clothes that are playful and inventive, with an emphasis on easy wearability. Fluid lines, modern silhouettes and smart details are the cornerstones of Yavï’s designs, and impressionism is the leitmotif. Through a gradual process of research and abstraction, the brand aims to continually develop unique textiles for the discerning; such as the label’s now-signature hand-painted and digitized impressionist prints; and a special – delicate & elaborate embroidery developed using ‘one’ single thread.

Yavï’s approach to fashion is slow and steady, absorbing all the elements in a culture but retaining the impressionistic method of not making any final statements about that culture- keeping the encounter inviting and open-ended with possibilities. This has won Yavï a small, but discerning cohort of patrons.

Yavï retails out of luxe concept stores such as Anaconda, Macondo Italy; Biba, Ikat, Kazak – Paris, Gallery Indigo – Bruges, Wana Boutique – Spain; to name a few across Europe.
