Maharishi

Since its birth in 1994, Maharishi has evolved into one of the UK's most influential designer labels, offering their men's collections worldwide.  Founded by (creative Director) Hardy Blechman, Maharishi carries a strong ethos of respect for nature while utilising the latest technology.

Blechman, whose former experience lay in the international military and industrial clothing surplus trade, started Maharishi by producing hemp and other natural fibre clothing as well as recycling work wear and military surplus. In fact, his work in the field of natural fibres helped them to gain wider acceptance among larger commercial fashion retailers. In 1995, Blechman designed and launched Snopants - an original design concept with unique detailing that became a significant style statement and the label's signature.  Arena Homme Plus described them in their Millennium round-up as "the most copied pants of the decade" and into the 21st century Snowpants have formed the basis of the evolution of a new style of dressing. By 1999, the label was producing comprehensive collections for men, which were innovative, comfortable and functional.

Maharishi prides itself on gaining respected reputation for not conforming to mainstream fashion trends, placing emphasis on its own points of inspiration and the natural progression of excellent quality, perfect fit and original design. The company continues to develop and expand with a positive attitude, open mind and unique approach, firmly positioning it as one of the most influential and progressive international brands around.
