Even heroes are not free from turmoil. Arjuna, trained his entire life for war, stands at Kurukshetra and lets his Gandiva fall. Faced with what he might lose—family, teachers, his own self—his calm fractures. What was once silent begins to race, thought after thought, fear feeding fear. This is Anxiety: a double-faced state—one side still, the other in constant motion. A quiet mind, suddenly running.

The double-faced runner. Calm outside. Chaos within.
This piece captures the silent sprint of anxiety, the way it moves fast but shows nothing. The front features symmetrical machine embroidery, clean and composed, like a face trained to hide the tremble. But turn around, and the truth is stitched in.
On the back, a circle breaks apart into tangled, messy lines, exposing the unrest behind the stillness. It's not just design. It’s duality. The kind you carry when you appear fine but feel everything unravelling beneath.
Crafted from 100% cotton, the fabric remains soft against the skin, even if the story it tells is sharp. A visual reminder that not all battles are seen, but they are worn.
Unisex design.
Available in:
• Women’s sizes: XXS–XXL
• Men’s sizes: S–XL
Each NOVI piece is a work of art, crafted with intention, layered in meaning, and made to last. To preserve its beauty, structure, and soul, we recommend:
- Gentle hand wash in cold water with mild detergent
- Do not bleach, tumble dry, or wring
- To retain color and shape, air dry flat, away from direct sunlight
- If ironing, use low heat with a protective cloth
- Avoid direct heat on embroidery, artwork, or embellishments
- Store in the NOVI dust bag when not in use to maintain its form and finish
These garments carry philosophy, craftsmanship, and story, wear them freely, but care for them deeply.
