NEW YORK, NY (Dec. 11, 2023) – From the creative mind of New York-based industry insider and brand architect turned television sensation Jessel Taank comes ŌUSHQ, a culturally rich retail platform that will bring fashion from Southeast Asia and the Middle East to the global stage. ŌUSHQ will deliver a curated selection of the finest ready-to-wear and accessories to the fashion-curious, sharing the allure and vibrancy of India and the surrounding region’s fashion with a global community.

ŌUSHQ will disrupt Southeast Asian design’s made-to-order challenges by standardizing sizing, providing white glove tailoring services, and expediting shipping timelines – eliminating the current months-long production process. At its core, ŌUSHQ will be a platform of discovery- a space where the fashion curious can explore and access exciting designer talent and, conversely, where Southeast Asian designers can tap into a new audience.

Taank has also established a world-class Indian-based creative team to bring to life the region’s opulent, beautiful, authentic vision, bridging East meets West in retail. Visionary fashion and celebrity powerhouse Sasha Jairam will assume the position of Creative Director. In her new role, Jairam will work closely with Taank to establish emerging talent and present fashion through the ŌUSHQ creative lens, lending her photographic talents to all brand campaigns and truly capturing the vibrancy of Southeast Asian fashion.
