Our Story
The Journey Behind FunkAi
FunkAi didn’t start with fashion. It started with a deep obsession for culture, art, and the visual languages that define identity.
We’re two friends from India who met in college, later worked together at a Japanese MNC, and bonded over a shared curiosity for design and storytelling.
Our exposure to Japanese design philosophy — through conversations, shared meals, and the guidance of a seasoned in-house designer — opened our eyes to the intention behind aesthetics.
A visit to Japan transformed everything. We saw how art lived on in the streets — on clothing, packaging, graffiti, even public signage. It wasn’t just preserved. It was worn.
Returning to India, we saw a gap. Where was the fashion that celebrated culture deeply? Why were our own traditions overlooked — both here and globally?
🎨 What We Set Out to Build
A design-first fashion brand rooted in cultural appreciation.
A platform where global art traditions are reimagined using modern tools like AI.
A space where quality, storytelling, and originality matter just as much as visual appeal.
👕 What We Make
Apparel designed for streetwear — but layered with meaning.
High-quality fabrics:
- 180 GSM regular and oversized tees
- 240 GSM shirts
- 350 GSM hoodies & sweatshirts
Every piece is the result of hundreds of AI explorations, refined by human judgment and cultural research.
🌍 Where We’re Going
We’re starting with Japanese art styles — but we’re expanding into Indian folk forms, lost global techniques, and modern reinterpretations.
Every product page explains the story behind the art — because fashion can be educational.
As we grow, we plan to:
- Collaborate with real artists and communities
- Support preservation of overlooked art forms
- Create exclusive drops that give back to the cultures that inspired them
