History

Hemant and Lecoanet met in Paris, France, at the Ecole de la Chambre Syndicale de la Couture Parisienne. Both of them were learning Haute Couture at that time and decided to launch something together. They started a store in Paris and were one amongst only 24 Haute Couture Houses.[3] They eventually became a part of the Haute Couture Club and also joined  Syndicat as a member.[4] They presented their collections in various international events and later decided to move to India to launch two new brands namely GENES and Ayurganic.
