Kamal Haasan’s KH House of Khaddar has added another international achievement to its growing fashion journey after its Sutura collection won the Best Ready-to-Wear Collection award at the recently held Runway Seven Fashion Awards in the United States.
The award was received by Amritha, Design Head of KH House of Khaddar, marking another international recognition for the brand and its effort to take Indian khadi and textile craftsmanship to audiences beyond India.
Sutura Wins Best Ready-to-Wear Collection
The winning collection, Sutura, blends elements of India’s traditional textile heritage with a contemporary design approach.
According to the brand, the collection takes its name from the Latin word “sutura,” meaning “thread.” The concept reflects the collection’s connection with textiles while presenting traditional influences through modern silhouettes and design language.
Sutura was first presented internationally at New York Fashion Week in 2024, giving KH House of Khaddar an opportunity to showcase its interpretation of Indian textiles on a global fashion platform.
KH House of Khaddar’s International Fashion Journey
The recognition at the Runway Seven Fashion Awards represents one of the brand’s notable international honours since its launch.
KH House of Khaddar was established with a broader ambition of introducing khadi and Indian textile traditions to Western audiences. Rather than treating traditional fabrics purely as elements of heritage fashion, the brand has sought to position them within contemporary clothing and global fashion conversations.
The Sutura collection reflects that approach by combining the character of Indian textiles with modern design sensibilities.
Amritha Receives the Award
Amritha, the Design Head of KH House of Khaddar, accepted the award on behalf of the brand.
Her role reflects the design team’s contribution to developing collections that connect India’s textile traditions with contemporary fashion. The recognition for Sutura places that work on an international platform.
From Indian Textile Heritage to Global Fashion
For KH House of Khaddar, the award represents more than recognition for an individual collection.
Khadi has a long association with India’s textile and independence history, while Indian handloom traditions encompass a wide range of regional techniques, materials and craftsmanship. Bringing these traditions into contemporary fashion can create new ways for international audiences to engage with Indian textiles.
Sutura’s journey from its global debut at New York Fashion Week to receiving recognition in the US reflects the brand’s stated objective of taking Indian textile traditions to a wider audience.
Kamal Haasan’s Fashion Venture Gains Global Recognition
Actor and politician Kamal Haasan is associated with KH House of Khaddar, a venture built around Indian fabrics and contemporary fashion.
The latest award adds to the brand’s international profile and underscores its focus on presenting Indian craftsmanship through a global fashion lens.
For the House of Khaddar team, Sutura’s recognition is therefore both a fashion achievement and an acknowledgment of the potential for Indian textiles, craftsmanship and design to travel internationally without losing their cultural identity.
As the brand continues to explore contemporary interpretations of khadi, Sutura’s international recognition provides another milestone in its stated journey from Indian textile heritage to global fashion.
