An India based fashion- and lifestyle brand, centered around the ideas of self-expression, diversity, empowerment and unconventional ways of living, thinking and acting. They collaborate with designers, musicians, bloggers and many other “Kultprits” of all kinds around the world, conquering the global fashion market. KULTPRIT, based on the english “culprit”, is a pun on words, acknowledging the fact that often people who are divergent in some way tend to be scapegoats for social and cultural problems. The goal is to give the word a different, more positive meaning, celebrating diversity.
