Preeti Gore, Founder of Tilted Lotus
Preeti Gore's journey began with a deep-rooted passion for her South Asian heritage and a vision to bridge cultural artistry with contemporary fashion. As a Houston-based designer, she recognized the gap in the market for authentic, culturally-inspired clothing that could resonate with modern audiences.
Her inspiration stems from India's rich tapestry of traditions, tribal motifs, and artistic heritage. Preeti envisioned a brand that would celebrate these cultural elements while creating inclusive, bold designs that could be worn by anyone who appreciates the fusion of heritage and modernity.
The challenge was clear: how to transform ancient traditions into contemporary silhouettes that would appeal to a global audience while maintaining the authenticity and cultural significance that makes South Asian art so compelling.

THE VISION: Where It All Began
When Tilted Lotus Met Krazy Kreators — The Spark That Ignited a Brand
Early Challenges
The journey from cultural inspiration to contemporary fashion brand required navigating complex challenges in manufacturing, vendor relationships, and scaling operations.
Manufacturing Complexity
Finding manufacturers who could handle the intricate details and cultural authenticity required for South Asian-inspired designs while maintaining contemporary quality standards.
Vendor Relationships
Building trust with vendors who could understand the cultural significance of designs while delivering on modern fashion timelines and quality expectations.
Scaling Operations
Maintaining the authenticity and quality of cultural designs while expanding production capacity to meet growing market demand and brand recognition.
Barriers Between the Brand Dream and Reality
The journey from cultural inspiration to contemporary fashion brand revealed complex challenges that required innovative solutions.
2
Most vendors lacked flexibility for continuous new design drops.
3
No clear guidance or structure for scaling from idea to final product.
4
Supply chains were fragmented and expensive for new brands.
5
Communication gaps between designers, tailors, and vendors caused frequent delays.
6
High MOQs (Minimum Order Quantities) didn’t suit her exclusivity model.
7
No single platform offered design, sampling, and production under one roof.
8
Sample quality often didn’t align with bulk production, affecting consistency.
9
Limited access to teams who understand cultural fashion with a modern edge.
Every Great Brand Starts with Research
From Culture to Customer — We Study Before We Sketch
Our research process began with deep dives into South Asian cultural heritage, studying traditional motifs, color palettes, and textile techniques. We analyzed how these elements could be reinterpreted for contemporary audiences without losing their cultural significance.
Market research revealed a growing demand for culturally-inspired fashion that celebrates diversity while maintaining modern appeal. We identified key customer segments who value both cultural authenticity and contemporary design, understanding their preferences for bold patterns, rich colors, and inclusive sizing.
Competitive analysis showed that while there were brands offering South Asian-inspired clothing, few were successfully bridging the gap between traditional and contemporary aesthetics. This presented a unique opportunity for Tilted Lotus to carve out its own space in the market.

From Sketch to Stitch
Artisanal Details
Designed intricate elements such as:
- Embroidery motifs
- Surface prints and placements
- Unique neckline cuts
- Innovative sleeve finishes
Material & Texture Exploration
Carefully selected and suggested fabric bases and textures to enhance each design's visual and tactile appeal.
Designing the Collection
We started by transforming our original croquis sketches into real-life looks, ensuring each garment on the model reflected the exact silhouette, style, and detailing from the design boards.
We made NYFW collection, "Roar In Style." The collection embodies inclusivity and self-expression, drawing inspiration from The Tree of Life — the source of life that connects and binds all lives together, irrespective of cultures, religions, genders, races, and nations.
