Ikisvon Jamang is a Testament to the Impeccable Style of Northeast India
It’s not often that we come across someone with fearless style and creative ingenuity. But, Ikisvon Jamang is exactly that and more! We can’t help but agree (strongly) to Grazia India‘s inclusion of her in the list of creatives to watch out for in 2024. And we’ll tell you why!
From the hills in Manipur to high-fashion in Delhi:
Ikisvon (IKI to her friends and followers), comes from a small town called Ukhrul in Manipur. Considering the fact that many people have never even heard of that little corner in the northeast of India, this girl has come a long way from home! And she’s made her presence known, loudly at that.
In an interview with Vogue India, this model/creator shared how her interest in clothing came from her visits to her aunt in her hometown. Watching her aunt dress in style inspired by Korean and Harajuku fashion, piqued her interest as a little girl too. Her own style has evolved over the years and she always goes beyond the norm of following the usual trends. Now based in New Delhi, she’s actually a very well-known creator in the fashion scene there.
Her journey hasn’t been without its challenges. Growing up with insecurities about her appearance, Ikisvon battled self-doubt before embracing her unique identity. It was fashion that became her armor, allowing her to express herself confidently. Over time, she’s learned to express herself uniquely through her style and it’s clearly visible to anyone who follows her on Instagram. Ikisvon’s style is a captivating blend of street-style edge and timeless glamour.
Creative collaborations, recognition as a force of fashion:
In the last two years, recognition for her talent has poured in from all corners. Grazia India named her one of the creatives to watch out for in 2024, recommended by stylist Edward Lalrempuia. She’s also a model who has graced the ramp for prestigious fashion shows like Lakmé Fashion Week. At this year’s show, she walked for Deme by Gabriella Demetriades. Aside from modelling, her influence as a creator is undeniable, as evidenced by her collaborations with renowned brands like Gentle Monster and H&M. Ikisvon was awarded the Fashion Influencer of the Year (Editor’s Choice) at the Cosmopolitan India Blogger Awards 2024. Last year, she was also awarded at the second edition of Vogue India’s flagship event, Forces of Fashion.
Beyond her stunning looks, Ikisvon Jamang is a vocal advocate for self-love and body positivity. She uses her platform to inspire others to overcome their insecurities and embrace their true selves. With her infectious energy and unwavering belief in her dreams, she continues to break barriers and redefine the standards of beauty in the fashion industry.
