The Designer Presented her Couture collection “An Experiment” for the finale show of FDCI Indian couture week 2022.
Stemming from an extreme need for change and pushing boundaries, this collection is an open field for experimentation.
An awareness of the spectacular Indian silhouettes, textiles and sentiments, we move to amalgamate something old, something new.
Treating precious something that always was with reverence, notwithstanding that they may have aged, at the same time and approach of nonchalance to luxury.
The shapes are inspired by the “goddess” paired with deconstruction and pattern making techniques. There is also referencing the ever exuberant tribal India, approached with an eye of modernism. We are unafraid to align, non aligned perceptions.
The colour palette is varied starting with sombre blacks, delicate lace in ivory to powerful red and emeralds. Metallica plays an important role. Pearl takes centre stage.
Designer Kunal Rawal Presented his Collection “Dear Men” at FDCI Indian Couture week, Quoting :
“The men who love, The men who lose, The men who move on a path they choose Men, who are their own men This is our epic composition for them.”
The collection is designed to celebrate men and menswear in all its glory which we can see as Showstopper Arjun Kapoor dropped the Jaw of each and every person present in the audience. While walking down the Ramp he also blew a Kiss to Maliaka Arora creating a whole new romantic of Love in the Air.
The collection features a lot of new, playful silhouettes and many fun and unexpected embroideries. Every piece plays with textures and pulls the eye to intricate details. The designer has added a lot of functionality and usability to each ensemble as well, taking into account the fact that every man has different needs, depending on who they are, how they live, and how they move. This collection is our way of celebrating the evolution of men’s couture in India. Here is a Little Glimpse of the collection:
According to Designer Kunal Rawal: “To us, couture is wearable art, it should be functional and smart. That’s why we believe in crafting occasion wear that can cater to the whole spectrum of celebrations ranging from modern luxury to deep-rooted tradition. Truly versatile ensembles you can easily dress up or tone down, mix or match, or even wear to work. Who are we to tell you what to wear and when? Our role is to build in the possibilities in our designs to give you endless choices and combinations.”
This collection has been created to set the stage for meaningful interactions between the audience and our designs. The media landscape is changing every day, and we are beginning to see real diversity and true representation. For us, the fun is in creating pieces for a market as diverse as India with clothes for different shapes and sizes, and different moods, and yet have a signature come through.
We all are already stunned by the collection presented by all the designers in the Indian Couture Week but Designer Amit Aggarwal has taken a step ahead to take the whole show to a next level to present his collection “Pedesis”. According to the designer`s Instagram Q&A, he has given us a whole walkthrough of the collection a day before his show. “Pedesis is one of our most colorful collections yet! We`ve used different colors that cannot be imagined together in couture. After all, we dream through colors and make sense of the beauty of life through colors.” – Designer Amit Aggarwal
Here is a small walkthrough of the show:
The collection is a refreshing bookend to our part-miraculous, part-fantastical journey of a decade. But a constant thread of morphing forms and blurring the inescapable folds of time runs through it all. It is also a kaleidoscope ode to the fact that we are at an interesting bend in time where the digital space accommodates those whimsical aspects of ourselves not accessible in the physical world. Every silhouette shows that we carry the echo of the first human and hold the inception of the future – overlaid on the fine-grained realities of the present. This collection is a celebration of the fact that we are the glitch in time: warping forms, straddling realms, embracing eternity.
The Inspiration for his new collection in one word would be “Time”. “Although it`s a quantifiable entity, to me, time is a fascinating concept because of how truly blurred it is. We like to slot tribes as “ancient” and robots as “Future”. but in reality, all of us carry echoes of the first human and the promise of the future inside us. We’re all walking and talking manifestations of just how fluid time is.”- Designer Amit Aggarwal
If we talk about the Material used in the collection then, they always have to be married to the new-age materials with traditional techniques. To give us a specific example in Pedesis, they have contemporized the Ikat with handloom and Polymers. According to the designer himself, ” Couture allows you to experiment, to breathe, to let go and yet be meditative about it all.” Let’s just say that this collection made him sleepless the day before his show and the adrenaline rush was super high.
The Fashion week couldn`t be more glamourous than it already is but the “Love Forever” collection presented by Designer Falguni & Shane Peacock was like a Cherry on the cake. Actress Sara Ali khan glided down the white runway Ramp with her royal Nawabi style in the royal blue Lehenga by the designer. She made sure that all eyes got stuck on her while she is walking down the Ramp. Here are some glimpses of her from the ramp:
This collection took inspiration from the rich heritage of the French capital vis-à-vis the stellar works of art and architecture by some of the great masters of modernism and celebrates the land home to innumerable artworks and some of the most celebrated masters in the history of modern art and design— Chagall, Picasso, Braque, Le Corbusier, and the likes.
The ensembles are enamored with an ingenious display of detailed motifs that showcase the best of Indo-Parisian culture and architecture. Here is a few glimpses from their collection:
Designer Siddhartha Tyler did an amazing show last night at the couture week, without disappointing us but giving us some major inspirations for the coming wedding season. The designer had a mesmerizing show with the theatrical sets inspired by the Chinese term “Shan Shui” which refers to a style of traditional Chinese painting that involves or depicts any scenery or natural landscapes. Here is a small glimpse of the Sets:-
The show stole the eyes of the audience as Singer Guru Randhawa and Actor Farhan Akhtar walk down the ramp. both looking equally stunning and handsome at the same time. The collection definitely inspired a lot of people for the upcoming Cocktail and wedding Events with the touch of the tones of maroon, navy, olive, and our all-time favorite black.
