The AM:PM concept Saree has evolved out of the brand’s core aesthetics of creating elegant modern design.

Conceptualized around the label’s signature, the sarees have been ‘pre-draped’, making them formal and exotic yet drastically minimizing the time to individually drape and wear them.

Luxurious fabrics like Satin-Georgettes and Crepe de Chine, in tantalizing jewel tones, have been used to give the sarees extreme fluidity, juxtaposed with structure, in the form of jackets and waistcoats with elaborate prints and artwork.

City’s glitterati and expats had a taste of true Italian Soiree at the preview of designer Ritesh Kumar’s Spring/Summer 2014 collection at the prestigious Fiat Caffè.

Ritesh Kumar S/S ’14 collection titled Epiphany, is the final part of Paranoia trilogy launched in S/S ’13. The series speaks of freedom, restriction and the associate emotions which we go through while dealing with our vulnerable and impenetrable self. Juxtaposition of contradictory elements fuses the raw and the fragile, fluidity and severity for innovative expression in design. A conceptual ambience translates these emotions through intricate textures, sculptural volumes, play with transparency and light, forms and shapes rendered in monochromes.

Joining the sumptuous food and wine were actor Nasir Abdullah, Designers Gaurav Jay Gupta, Divyam Metha, Pooja Kapoor, Shivali Misra Seth Socialites Swapnil Khullar Sharma, Federica Torgneur, Shaine, Diksha Sachdev Expats diplomats Jesus Clavero Rodriguez, Elisabetta Holsztejn, Alessia Bianchi, artist Francesca Ramello.
