AADHE is a Toronto-based fashion–art house by designer Aman Gill, creating upcycled South Asian garments rooted in diaspora memory, emotional storytelling, and cinematic silhouettes. Each piece blends South Asian tradition with North American streetwear influence, exploring identity, reinvention, and the contradictions we carry.

My design practice centres around reconstructing sarees, lehengas, and family textiles into new forms, pieces that honour where we come from while imagining where we’re going. I work primarily with preloved fabrics and deadstock materials, transforming memory-filled garments into bold, wearable art.

AADHE’s collections draw from my lived experiences: divorce, queerness, diaspora displacement, and the messy, beautiful process of rebuilding yourself. My most recent collection, Desi Paradox: Part 1, was created by deconstructing my pink wedding party lehenga into nine emotional looks, each representing a chapter of self-loss and self-return.

Beyond collections, I design custom garments, reconstructed bridal pieces, statement jackets, dresses, and experimental silhouettes. Every piece is co-created with the wearer, reflecting their story, identity, and aesthetic freedom.

AADHE is for the ones who don’t fit the mould, the ones who are too bold, too emotional, too South Asian, too queer, too layered, too much.

Here, your contradictions become fashion.
