The potential energy stored in the duo designers Shivan Bhatia and Narresh Kukreja takes unadulterated creative explosions in their beachwear label. The label ‘SHIVANNARRESH’ was launched in Cannes at ‘Mare di Moda’ with their hundred percent stitch free line called Insectoid. It has a unique signature style that is bold, confidant & sophisticated constructed with flawless lines, undisputed eye to detail and utter sophistication. After the launch in Cannes, the duo shifted their studios to New Delhi, India, and became the first mainstream avante garde beachwear designers doing handcrafted stitch free beachwear along with ready to wear Swimwear made all in Italian fabrics and complementing beachwear.

 

Their association started as early as 2004, when they were still honing their skills at the fashion college, which got the duo several company projects, from designing first ever fabric raincoats for ZAZAME launched by Duck Back in New York to designing football jerseys for 10 national Football clubs of India, to even designing neck ties for students of IIT Roorkee.  Their journey then continued to Italy as they were offered scholarships to complete their masters in Fashion & Textiles & Luxury Marketing from Istituto Europeo di Design Milan and Rome respectively.
