]]>Prakruti Gupta Rao with her husband, Navin Rao
Prakruti Gupta Rao, the Co-Founder of the Kaftan Company is a cancer survivor, mother of two boys and an extremely active entrepreneur. For World Cancer Day, she wishes to share her journey from being diagnosed with cancer to creating her own brand of comfort clothing and the inspiration that helped start it all.
Her Story
Prakruti grew up in a family of business owners and as such always had entrepreneurship in her DNA. However, with the opportunity of moving abroad to study, Prakruti took the step and moved to Canada to study IT/Business for her undergraduate studies. In Canada, once she graduated, she began working at Mercedes-Benz Canada Financial Services and was settling into a balanced routine.
As chance would have it, Navin Rao, (whom Prakruti had grown affectionately towards and is now her husband) in Canada had an opportunity to move to Dubai for work. Upon realizing this, Prakruti expressed her intentions with her family and marriage was finalized between them in August 2009.
Shortly after their marriage, in December 2009 Prakruti and Navin moved to Dubai as newlyweds excited for the journey that lay ahead as a young couple. However, things would change drastically. By the end of December, Prakruti began showing strange symptoms of ill health and after conducting a medical examination with some tests confirmed that she was diagnosed with Hodgkin's Lymphoma - a type of cancer.
With this sudden news, Prakruti and Navin were advised to visit India where the families reside to help support her by confirming this diagnosis as well as pursuing suitable treatment. Once confirmed, Prakruti was then made to go through chemotherapy and radiation therapy. Sessions began in the city of Mumbai and were completed at Prakruti’s hometown of Hyderabad, where she could remain close to her parents during this ordeal.
Prakruti comments on her experience during that time:
“As a newlywed woman, one has so many expectations and exciting journeys to look forward to. It was very challenging to come to terms with the diagnosis of cancer at first, but then accepting it and realizing a solution is present was important. For this, I am extremely thankful for the support my husband and parents provided me during the course of my treatment. They remained positive mentally and always ensured I was upbeat for as much as I could, helping me laugh and experience positivity all around. It was a time I didn’t want any visitors or extended family and friends to come and see me. Particularly because I felt their sight of empathy(and possibly pity) towards me would make me further upset and I wanted to take the treatment privately with only the people nearest to me at the time.
I still recall the hardest moment before starting treatment when the doctor suggested there wasn’t a possibility to conceive children naturally. My husband and I were so young at the time and had just been married that children were not a priority or something we had given thought to even. All of a sudden though it hit us like a ton of bricks to imagine a future where children of our own might not be happening. Since then, after treatment and the required medical advice, I can proudly say that I am blessed for having two wonderful, cute and energetic boys!
Prakruti Gupta Rao with her husband, Navin Rao and two boys, Samay and Vismay.
During each chemotherapy session, it was a day spent staring at blank walls, undergoing excruciating pain in the veins of my hands but managing it all with the support of my loved ones. In addition, I was asked to wear loose, comfortable clothing.
As each session progressed, I realized that the types of comfort clothing available in the market were either not fashionable or not very comfortable. This inspired me to dig a little deeper and realized kaftans, a timeless and classic garment is a perfect example of a comfortable yet stylish garment with many possibilities. This led to the creation of The Kaftan Company - a fashion brand supporting the attributes of comfort, style, and grace.
I realized many benefits from wearing comfortable clothing. The breathable nature of the fabric, stylish print options and sensation of being able to “live free” was very liberating. Especially at a time where I felt so differently while undergoing cancer treatment. Despite being confused and fearful of the unknown, the colorful and stylish kaftans worn during my treatment helped me a lot with my self confidence and made me feel good about myself. It was at this time that I realized that the world needs to experience the same level of comfort and style. In good health and during challenging times, I realized that comfort clothing can help many people remain body positive and by wearing our kaftans be trendsetters too!”
The Kaftan Company
Once Prakruti was cleared by her doctors who told her she could move on, she didn’t waste any time. Her experience with the treatment hadn’t weakened her but in fact, had given her a whole new zest for life! She felt like she wanted to accomplish so much more and as a veritable force of nature, she (with the support of her husband and family) started Shibori Designs - a white-label manufacturing unit of finished apparel for other well-known national brands.
After some time and learning the methods of design and production, Prakruti and her husband embarked on her dream to fulfill a void that was evident in the market - the need for stylish, comfortable fashion that can be worn on multiple occasions and in a variety of ways.
Words of Wisdom for World Cancer Day
It has been over a decade now since Prakruti was diagnosed, and since that initial trying time, she has used that experience to remain positive, build a business, raise two children and continue to enjoy her zeal for life with travel and continuous learning.
Prakruti brings her experience and wisdom to say “World Cancer Day is a reminder of what has been for me a trying time, but also for many that are going through it now. I wish for all those affected by this to keep their spirits up, keep their loved ones nearby and never lose hope! At the end of every grey cloud is a silver lining and you must embrace each and every single day with immense gratitude and positivity!”.

]]>Kaftans. A term known as a luxurious fashion garment that is recognised across the globe and normally associated with royalty since the time of the Ottoman Empire. Back then, the Ottoman styled kaftans used exotic fabrics and grand embellishments showcasing individuality and unique craftsmanship. Similar variants of the Tunic style attire was then seen across the Middle East, parts of Africa and Russia too. Clearly, this was a symbol of just how comfortable and stylish this garment was and has since stood the test of time.
Elizabeth Taylor wearing a kaftan in the 1970’s
Fast forward to the 1970’s and kaftan as a garment was popularised for its comfort appeal and colourful prints with the hippie generation of the time and the likes of celebrities such as Elizabeth Taylor draped in designer kaftans. This later became mainstream with other noted designers including Kaftans as part of their summer season lines, making kaftans (and especially beach kaftan dresses) a womenswear staple for those going on holiday and generally lounging around at the beach or by a pool. Normally made with bright, colourful & unique print designs referencing traditional West, Southwest and South Asian cultures fused with on trend colour palettes & styles, these modern colourful outfits has begun to transcend use not only as resort only fashion items but as occasion wear items and day-to-day wear as well.
We now dig a little deeper into the basics of the kaftan itself and reduce any further apprehensions you may have when wearing a kaftan for the first time with some suggested style tips to make things even easier.
Loungewear Kaftans
Many of you will fear getting lost in a kaftan, particularly given its free size like appearance and maximum use of fabric. Unlike the earlier times of “free size” kaftans, at The Kaftan Company we provide fitted kaftans. This means you can match the size chart suggested by us to your measurements and choose styles from S(Small) right up to 3XL. Thus ensuring your figure is accentuated without compromising on style.
Earlier kaftans were normally free style and meant for resort and loungewear. As leaders in the space, we have since created many additional categories that enable first time buyers such as yourself to find a kaftan that suits your needs. These include: Kaftan Nightwear, Kaftan Loungewear, Kaftan Beachwear and Resort Wear, Kaftan Kurtas, Kaftan Maternity Wear, Kaftan Kidswear, Kaftan Tunics, Kaftan Casualwear and Kaftan Partywear. Essentially, a kaftan to cover each and every occasion.
Partywear Kaftan Kurtas
Kaftans are synonymous with comfort and hence choosing the right material can make a world of difference. This is why we primarily use the finest cottons, viscose, satin and modal fabrics ensuring maximum breathability and comfort that will have you addicted after your first experience.
While the kaftan may seem a little on the simpler side when first seen, it is an exceptionally versatile garment. And now given the variety of kaftans we produce, be sure to complement your style with a suitable bag, necklace, belts, footwear depending on the look you want to create. We guarantee there is a kaftan that will suit any look you aspire to reflect.
As you can tell by now, kaftans are a versatile, stylish and comfortable garment. As a beginner to the world of kaftans, we hope to have reduced your apprehensions as a first time buyer and look forward to your first experience of wearing a kaftan with us!

]]>Japanese fashion is trending right now. Asides from the popular kimono style used in songs, movies, Japanese styles have made an impact in the history of fashion across the world.
Today, we explore the uniqueness of Japanese art and fashion with its past, present, and future trends. We will also discuss the most popular and recent trends for 2021 from the land of the rising sun.
History of Japanese Fashion
Historically Japanese fashion has made an impact across the world for various reasons. The heritage and culture of Japan and its affluence presents a unique fashion definition while creating their own style.
Since the 1850s when international trade activities were initiated, Japan became a main source of imported fashion artistry. Japan has unlocked its way to the world with new styles, designs, and materials.
For hundreds of years Western countries have been inspired by Japanese art, traditions, and cultures that have driven to explore their art and fashion. It is an entirely different world of unique arts, paintings, and textiles. Japanese have started to experience outer culture influences.
The most identifiable Japanese item of clothing is the kimono. A modest robe with an origination dated as far back as 1,000 years ago, through the Heian Period. Even though it was not an everyday alternative, this traditional garb was worn for special occasions, like weddings, funerals, and tea ceremonies.
At the time of the Kamakura period (1185- 1333) people began to choose the kimono as everyday clothing. This is when the seasonally inspired colour combinations were born. During the Edo period (1603 -1868) kimono creation grew into a specialized art and craft, and some of them were a kind of artwork and in some cases could cost more than a middle-class family income. These then resulted in kimonos being passed over generations.
Soon after world war ll, the country was in a process of economic and industrial recovery. This exercise covered architecture, art, technology, and fashion intending to regain and uphold the country’s historical stems. They also began adopting modern trends and making it a mixture of oriental and modern culture.
It was an incredible achievement for the world to see that the Japanese have managed to rebuild themselves as a modern, creative, and oriental fireball. This campaign was so successful that Japanese artists and designers began to take over the world of fashion too. Chisato Tsumori, Nicola Formichetti, shinsuke Takizawa, and Hiroko Takahashi, are redefining fashion rules and inviting us to explore the next level of fashion.
Symbolic trends in Japanese Fashion
It is important for us to understand, what the inspirations are like for the designers from Japan. Most designers have been influenced by the styles and designs from these elements below.
Kimonos are now world-famous and recognized worldwide and this tradition is adopted from Japan as fashion for the rest of the world. It also incorporates the concept of simplicity. The idea of kimonos is to create a simple and functional piece of outfit with a single fabric, and the garment is augmented with different art patterns.
The kimono is a symbol of simplicity and this sophisticated form has made it one of the most explored and adopted pieces of fashion. In a sense, it has become an iconic piece that represents the beauty and depth of Japanese art and culture. And the Western culture was heavily inspired by their designs and art and kimonos got media exposure from the 1980s.
Many designers like Giorgio Armani and Zuhair Murad took the kimono elements as inspiration for their creations.
Inspiration from Japanese Oriental Art and Painting
For many centuries, the Japanese have been producing decorative visual arts, paintings, and calligraphy. The whole world is attracted towards their art and creativity and there was huge admiration for all Japanese creatives in the second half of the nineteenth century. Buddhism, although originated in India and grew around Asia was the most persistent factor of influence, giving the Japanese a well-established iconography and offered perspectives on the relationship between visual and spiritual development. This was the focal point of Japanese artistic development. This is where the development of Japanese art and culture started developing. The West got influenced after the 16th century by Japanese art and paintings. Gradually, the Japanese started to use the patterns of their paintings in their cultural fashion too, which has influenced Western designers a lot. The themes of the paintings vary but most popular patterns include landscapes, flowers, birds, cherry blossoms, dragons, fishes, and waves. Their motive was to show the beauty of the world with their art.
The Inspiration of Colours and Themes
As we are talking about colours and themes which were used as a pattern on a cloth, Japanese colours have been used in the artistic field for many centuries. Out of which kimono is most noticeable to the world. As the colours used are not natural, the outfit is so expressive that every detail is filled carefully, and it has become a part of their colour sense. Not everyone could afford a kimono with various colours and patterns on it. That has set a standard with their unique style.

Influence of Japanese Fashion on the World
When we think of Japanese fashion the kimono might first come to mind. However, we must dive deeper to better understand Japanese culture and value their contribution to the fashion world. Japanese have influenced the western world a lot in terms of fashion, soon after world war 2 they started evolving themselves in the fields of technology, art, architecture, and fashion.
The whole world was exploring new inspirations for fashion, while Western countries were adopting cultural insights from China, India, Japan, and Indonesia. Japan then began to explore its own culture and came back with astonishing designs and patterns symbolizing their roots.
They also came with a new concept in fashion “the zero-waste movement” started by a Japanese designer Issey Miyake, with his collection made of a single cloth and ensuring excess fabric will not be filled as a dump in the year 1999.
Conclusion
Without a doubt, Japanese art and culture has left a special imprint in modern fashion. The global histrionic movement owes a lot to new Japanese fashion designers. These Japanese are redefining fashion culture and inviting us to explore and dive deeper into another level of the fashion world.
Besides, Japanese are emerging and solving sustainability challenges currently facing the fashion industry. This is a significant contribution and impact from Japanese fashion influencing the current global fashion scene.

]]>Forget your pyjamas – the kaftan should be your go-to look for running errands, indulging in some me-time while you multitask with Zoom meetings and perhaps even to a lockdown wedding (if you are invited to one!). They are super comfortable. They look as good with strappy heels as they do with a pair of slippers. And most of all, the silhouette is so forgiving that you won’t end up feeling guilty of all the binge-eating you’ve been indulging in.
However, ‘kaftan’ is actually a Persian word, and the style first originated in Ancient Mesopotamia. The Ottoman sultans from the 14th to the 18th centuries wore them and historically, the kaftan has been gender-neutral. In fact, one can find its variations in the Iranian plateau along with West and North Africa.

Kaftan spins the traditional argument on its heels, that couture is not comfortable and gives it an exotic twist with the patterns, techniques and the silhouette it stands for.
With their fluid and versatile texture, a Kaftan is extremely flexible and doesn’t look out of place at an evening gala, a summer dress or at a beach. And Social media, particularly Instagram has solidified Kaftans’ status as a Vacation staple. With chic labels like Camilla and giants like Dolce and Gabbana putting their creative force behind this style, Kaftan is surely going to heat up the fashion scene in the coming years.
And keeping with the roots, hand woven and artisanal kaftans are all the rage. Many indie brands are looking at Kaftans as the next big thing and launching eco conscious labels, made out of natural cotton and dyes. Former British Vogue Editor Pippa Holt has officially collaborated with artisans from a small town in Mexico to create her line of luxe kaftans. The group of artisans, having decades of experience behind them use backstrap looms and take upto one month to bring one garment to life. Since everything is handcrafted, no two pieces are same. Well, if that's not haute couture, we aren’t sure what else is.
Pairing up these handcrafted raw Kaftans with high street fashion accessories, or even designer belts and bags from Gucci, Fendi and more, the label is selling its kaftans like hot cakes. ‘The beauty and timelessness of these exquisitely handcrafted Kaftans make them collectible heirlooms’, says Pippa Holt. With fashionistas looking at increasingly wide range of styles to make a splash, a handcrafted luxury Kaftan is definitely the next ‘IT’ thing.
Get your hands on these precious, one-of-the-kind Kaftans from our very own brand ‘The Kaftan Company’. Choose from styles that embrace your divine curves and complement your many moods. Shop for kaftan dress beachwear at The Kaftan Company.
]]>The kaftan is a fashion trend that evolves every day. In our biased opinion, the kaftan is the most versatile apparel to ever exist. You can take it from casually chic to elegantly formal with a few changes of layers and accessories. Wear it however you want and let your imagination drive your styling preferences.
Available at the Kaftan Company in a range of beautiful colors, patterns and styles, the kaftan is the ideal summer choice to stay cool and comfortable while keeping the heat, boring clothes and tan at bay. Our kaftans come in a wide variety that you can use in varied ways to dazzle in.
The kaftan maxis for women, for instance, can be worn as a dress. Knot it up one side or tie a belt around the waist, slip in to adorable pumps to match the dress and carry a small purse to complement your attire. And there you have a complete ensemble for an evening of fun with friends, a wedding shower or a house party. Add a sequin robe to the mix, elegant earrings and you’ll stun your date at the dinner later.

Knee length kaftans are multi-purpose too! Wear it as a dress with wedge sandals and sunglasses to up the style quotient. Use it as a cover up with flip flops, a summer hat and you’re ready for a day at the beach to unwind. The knee length kaftans and tunics work as dresses on their own. If you happen to be tall, pair the knee length kaftans with jeans or pants, put on your favourite summer shoes and you are set to party around town.

Of course, you also have the Kaftan sleepwear range that doubles as lounge kaftan when hanging out with your friends. The choices at the Kaftan Company are plenty!

This curtain-esque attire works for any occasion. Style it with any jewellery you want. No attire perhaps offers you as much room for experimentation as the Kaftan does. For once you don’t need to follow trends; make your own and make it work for you.

Modest though can turn into uninteresting and seem repetitive quite easily. Sarees, Anarkalis, and Achkans do offer a range of options that are lovely for social events. These attires stand for festive, fashionable and perfectly respectable. However, whether the get together is at a hotel or outside, the bounds of fabric amongst these styles seem like a hassle rather than relaxing choices. It is a terrible annoyance to carry heavy set clothes when your sole focus should be on relishing the amazing delicacies that Ramadan has to offer.
The Kaftan Company brings in a comfortable alternative with the Kaftan, which is both admiringly mannerly towards customs and easy to flaunt. Our classic yet festive range of Kaftans carry some exquisite embroidery flanked by flowing, breathable fabric and long sleeves.

These Kaftans are anything but constricting. The stunning designs and colours move along with your movements in absolute ease. We offer a range to choose from that will suit all venues, be it a guest who wants to dress to impress or be the perfect hostess. Our special range of Kaftans for this festive season has a selection of choices regardless of whether you attend an exclusive Iftar get together, a more traditional gathering at home or a casual kaftan outing for the Iftar buffet. These fluid layers are glamourous and stunning on their own and with you wearing these, your fashion sense will certainly not go unnoticed.

The Classic Kaftan offered by the Kaftan Company has been around as sleep wear for decades. But, not as stylish as the ones offered here. Pretty shades, patterns, and comfortable cotton make these Kaftans an ideal choice to lounge in all day long and the evening, as well.
The nightwear kaftans range also brings a refreshing equivalent to the amorphic nightie. Many women, including the older generation, prefer the comfort of a nightie thanks to years of social conditioning on what is appropriate nightwear. Additionally, she steps out wearing the nightie (often with a dupatta) for morning chores like dropping kids to the bus stop, visiting the vegetable vendor, and greeting the milkman. So, her night clothes must be socially acceptable and be functional for morning routine. The Kaftan Nightie keeps that in mind by binding in comfort with style, daring to add a dash of elegance to a good night’s sleep and extend that to the morning madness. It is a charming choice that keeps the dull and boring away while respecting personal choices.
For those more inclined to experiment, the Kaftan sleepshirts are cute, trendy and perfect for a night in. About knee length, these sleepshirts offer the comfort of tees and the styling of a Kaftan. The bows and adorable embellishments make it an ideal fit for anyone with a young heart and a love for cute clothes.
The Kaftan Company’s sleepwear range adds a tasteful sensuality to night clothes that appeals to all fashionistas. With so many clothing choices for day wear, the Kaftan Company is extending the same choice to night wear making evening and sleep wear more glamorous and enchanting.

No worries, we are here to help you revamp your wardrobe with a total dupatta-less trend - a KAFTAN.
More and more people are switching their regular Indian outfits with these long, flowy and super-comfy fashion essentials, and why shouldn’t they? Kaftan guarantees a comfortable and carefree time, be it day or night, indoors or outdoors, without making you worry on the style department. It also dutifully fulfils the sole reason why a dupatta was discovered and used - to cover the bust area.
You can totally rock the diva look by choosing a kaftan that suits your taste and body type. It is available in a plethora of designs and palettes, meeting every season and reason. Party, date, wedding - these must-have pieces are there for every occasion. All you need is a little help with styling, and there you go! Wear them in right fabrics (cotton, silk for a day-outing and satin, rayon, georgette, crepe, or any other man-made fabric for an evening function), with the right accessories (small totes, minaudiere, fancy clutches look awesome with a full-length kaftan, by the way) and shoes (like nude heels and wedges), and you can ensure several head-turns in your direction. You can even top your plain and sophisticated kaftan with an equally enticing jewellery piece - an elegant earring, a sleek neckpiece or soft bangles are there to save you from the fuss of over-doing the look. Buy comfortable Loungewear Kaftans, nightwear pyjama sets, and casualwear kaftans made with breathable fabrics online.
All in all, kaftan is a very stylish multi-utility outfit that can help you go totally 90s with that ‘dupatta look’. So, why are still not aboard this raging trend this season? C’mon get on the ‘kaftan’ wagon and explore the comfort for yourself.

Life is too short to blend in.’ And thus we shouldn’t be surprised to look at her type of kaftan style, which is simply dazzling. The socialite recently wore a low-cut printed Shahida Parides kaftan dress with slits on the sides, topping it off with a Swarovski boho-style head band and a ballerina.
Christina Hendricks from “Mad Men” fame is a HUGE advocate of Kaftans as well. For one of her birthday party, she had a 'Caftans and Casseroles' theme. Think about Comfort food! Comfort clothes!
