Abraham and Thakore explored the “see now buy now” fashion trading format, with theentire collection will be available soon after the show, at Abraham and Thakore stores all over India.
Primarily created with Indian textiles made by hand, the collection “Back To Work” showcased separates in pure cotton. The designer duo is of the belief that light separates are actually great for summers as one can easily navigate the dressing option for an air conditioned room versus a non air conditioned setting.
The collection is a practical alternative to everyday workday needs of the urban Indian men and women who look for solutions that draw on tradition. “These clothes are contemporarised for a modern professional who despite air conditioned interiors, also has to function in 40 degrees Celsius. Breathable, light materials are practical as well as suitable for the need”, said the designer duo about their collection.
The collection challenges pre-conceived notions of gender specific dressing and dresses both men and women in options that suit both genders, sometimes interchangeably.
The color palette is ivory, madder, indigo and black. fabrics are cotton, hand printed or hand woven. The models sport unique styles such as kurta with choga jacket with pajamas, angrakha jacket with tee and lungi, nehru jacket, Kurt with a tie and many more.
