Dilanjan Seneviratne Co-Founds Licenced as It Launches Its First Collection With NOLIMIT

On 17 May 2025, Licenced, the Sri Lankan premium streetwear label Dilanjan Seneviratne co-founded, launched its first collection, Loss of Innocence, in partnership with NOLIMIT at Colombo City Centre.

Dilanjan co-founded Licenced with Yohani, its Artistic Director, and the UK-based entrepreneur Shyamal Adikari, its Chief Commercial Officer. He serves as Creative Director. The label is built around a single idea: Set Apart.

Yohani and Deedat Mubarack, Director of NOLIMIT, cut the ribbon to open the space, joined by Raneez Sherrif, NOLIMIT's Assistant General Manager, and the Licenced founding team. Through the evening Yohani appeared in three looks from the collection.

Artists, actors, stylists and creators attended, alongside hundreds of Yohani's fans who answered her open invitation. Key styles from the collection, including its graphic T-shirts, sold out before the event ended.

A new line for Dilanjan: his first move into fashion and lifestyle, after a decade of building businesses in music and creative services.

Plans at launch: activations across key cities, including retail experiences, music pop-ups and art shows, and a Set Apart Creator Program for musicians, dancers and creators.
