Waris Ahluwalia, actor & designer, is driven by a deep and abiding desire to create stories, products and experiences that captivate, transport, and shift perception. In 2007, he founded House of Waris- a company dedicated to exploring design through craftsmanship. Waris was nominated for the Vogue Fashion Fund and soon after awarded the CFDA Incubator grant.  From fashion campaigns to design collaborations, over the years Waris has worked with brands such Kenzo, The Kooples, Gap, Tory Burch, Gucci, Holt Renfrew and APC to name a few. As an actor, Waris has worked with acclaimed directors such as Wes Anderson, Spike Lee, and Luca Guadagnino. In the Fall of 2016, the Mayor of New York City proclaimed October 19th as Waris Ahluwalia Day for his work in spreading tolerance and inclusivity through his creative and social impact endeavors.
