Fashion Design Council of India (FDCI) announced the names of three young designers, who will showcase their collections for the first time, in a specially curated menswear show.
Antar-Agni by Ujjawal Dubey, Divyam Mehta and Rohit Kamra will present their designs on the fourth day (19th March) of the AIFW AW16 . Antar Agni’s Autumn-Winter collection titled “The Red in Us”, explores the varied emotions that red exudes. Red is extreme, a stimulator, heavy, intense and a stirrer. The collection aims at the controlled use of oxidised red as an extreme element, paired with fabrics with character, acting as a vent for the persistent human neutral state.
“Into the Woods”, a collection by Divyam Mehta, draws inspiration from trees and textures bringing out a feeling of freedom, intensity and blissfulness, harmoniously blending into laboriously executed Shibori patterns.
Interestingly, Rohit Kamra’s collection will redefine the royal look by modernizing it through sharply tailored bandhgalas and breeches. “Made in Jaypore” will see a huge Jaypore influence seeping into the ensembles.
