"WHO IS GANGWANI?”


THE VISION…

Hailing from the city of arts and innovation, Praveer Gangwani is a native of Winston-Salem, North Carolina. He is an artisan, a designer, and a true visionary when it comes to setting the scene. As part of the class of 2023, with a concentration in Stage Properties; he obtained his BFA under the School of Design & Production at UNC School of the Arts. He is not only an ambitious character but a notable set of eyes for attention to detail.  

When it comes to filmmaking, his objective is to aid in obtaining the best way to tell a story. Having fulfilled the roles of a Production Designer, Props Master, and Set Decorator; creating an environment comes with ease. He has fulfilled all three roles simultaneously for six individual productions within the past two years. For greater opportunities, he strives to do better than his best.  

As for fashion, it has become his creative outlet. With back-to-back fashion shows, his company “₲₳₦₲₩₳₦ł ȻØŁŁɆȻŦłO₦", ŁŁȻ featured a Spring/Summer line at High Point Fashion Week and a Fall/Winter line at Winston-Salem Fashion Week. With his acceptance into three separate platforms for New York Fashion Week, he aims to continue trusting and building off his ideas.  

By viewing his work one may see the act of expression through the intricacies of his garments; for him, it is a sense of peace… It is all about learning new skill sets and remaining to be open to new knowledge. Having such a mindset allows him to use his finite controlled movement to correlate between the thresholds of transdisciplinary art forms.
