The Notes In The Soul : Kavya Ajit In Boulevard

All true art begins as a conversation—a dialogue between the seen and the unseen, the note and the silence that holds it. At IAM BLVD, our work is a practice of listening to the stories of women who compose their own lives with a quiet grace. Our ‘In Boulevard’ series is a space for these heartfelt conversations.

We recently had the honor of sitting with Kavya Ajit, a musician whose voice carries the memory of ancient ragas and the pulse of a contemporary heart. In her, we found not a subject, but a kindred spirit.

The Art of Creation

An artist’s sanctuary is not just a place; it is a state of being, prepared with intention. Kavya speaks about this concisely : “To make music, I need my comfort zone, spaces where I can be me. I choose them very carefully just like how I choose my clothes.”

This is a creative sound we know well. The choice of what to wear becomes part of the preparation, a way of creating the inner harmony required for the soul to speak. It is why we designed pieces like the Blue Print Shirt Jacket; its form offers a gentle structure, a garment suited for the deep work of creation.

The Moment on Stage

The stage is a unique altar. It demands everything from an artist, and in return, offers a chance at transformation. Kavya described the feeling with a raw honesty: the "cold feet," the human hesitation before sharing her gift. And then, the sublime shift. “…once I am out there… that rush of adrenaline kicks in and it’s like all of the fear that I had until that moment, turns in to triumph.”

This is a beautiful transformation. By sharing her true self, she finds a special kind of victory. For this act of expression, a woman needs attire that allows her spirit to be shared with ease. The gentle flow of our Layered Mini Dress is designed for such moments, allowing her to move with an unburdened grace.

The Wisdom of the Boulevard

There is a profound truth in the arts: freedom is not found by abandoning discipline, but is earned through it. Kavya’s journey began with the sapthaswaras, the deep structure of her craft. It is through her dedication to this discipline that she was able to discover her art’s own “limitless nature.” Her belief that “all events have a purpose” is the wisdom that keeps her on this focused path.

Our story begins long before the first stitch. It starts in the soil, with an innovative vision for cultivation on the farm—a conscious journey from seed to soul. This philosophy is imbued in the honest texture of our linen, a fabric that holds the memory of its origin. In pieces like our Winter Linen Top, we present more than a garment; we present a path made wearable.

In Kavya Ajit, this journey finds its human echo. Her art, too, springs from a foundational seed—the sapthaswaras of her heritage. Her dedication is the patient cultivation that allows her craft to blossom into a limitless expression. She is the quiet poise, the profound connection; the artist whose life is a testament to the freedom earned through purpose.

She is in Boulevard.

And this is the rhythm of IAM BLVD.
