Suket dhir biography of barack

In his winning speech at the Woolmark Prize Menswear finals in Florence last January, Suket Dhir professed that he had never won any kind of prize in his life.

“Not once since kindergarten,” he said. “And what a prize to be the first!”

The International Woolmark Prize, incepted in 1953, celebrates the qualities of Merino wool. It is one of fashion’s most prestigious contests, whose previous recipients include legends such as Yves Saint Laurent and Karl Lagerfeld.

Dhir bagged the prize for 2015-’16, with a breakthrough collection of ikat woven with Merino wool on handloom.

His ikat was visually atypical, in ombre shades of blue and brown – there were subtle imprints of his Indian roots on exquisitely detailed silhouettes like bomber jackets, big pants, waistcoats and blazers.

For these gorgeous creations, Dhir took home a $70,000 cash prize, a chance to stock at the world’s best fashion retaile
