Avni Dalal is a fashion designer, born and raised in New Jersey, whose work reimagines military aesthetics through a distinctly feminine lens. Her designs explore the intersection of strength and softness, merging utilitarian forms with delicate crafts such as beading, embroidery, and jewelry-making. Avni challenges traditional notions of power, gender, and identity. Her work transforms historically masculine military elements into garments that honor the overlooked roles of women—those who remain unseen, yet uphold the foundation of every society. With a focus on storytelling, she uses fashion as a medium to reflect the complexity of the human experience.
