“Evolving beyond the Japandi influence of the previous season, this silhouette direction dabbles with a broader global dialogue. It draws selectively from Indian and wider South Asian aesthetics, merging shared values of form, restraint, and ceremony into silhouettes. This festive winter garment detailing explores into two distinct design attitudes. On one end, opulent gestures such as ceremonial yokes, armoured shoulder tips, exaggerated hip cowls – signal towards a renewed appetite for dramatism and visually assertive styling. In contrast, the opposing spectrum embraces distortion and anti-fit attitudes through neck gathers, multi-tip panelling and deliberately irregular hemlines.”
