The UK based designer of Indian descent Manish Bansal unveils his latest Autumn Winter 2012 menswear collection – a Savile Row meets Indian exuberance kind of.
The collection encapsulates the irony of the gamekeeper’s duty as a protector to killer with a twist of the elements borrowed from British Raj in India. The theme of the collection is justified by the use of the technique of felting. The base fabric wool, sourced from the British Isles forming the protective layer is paired with Indian silks and silk velvets.
The collection primarily features checked trench coats and jackets with random patches of felt in different vibrant hues, all teamed up with full length and ¾ pants in patterns like checks and stripes. A checked coverall, shirt with patterned neck, hooded embroidered jacket and double breasted trench with furred lapels are the few highlights of the collection.
