The fashion film Artists at Work began with a gangly male model wearing black swim trunks from the brand posing for the artists to create their own sketches. Then entered a female model wearing a ruby red hand-knit bodice with iridescent skein work and multi-layered skirt, featuring delicate folds of crisp silk gajar and organza with handcrafted motifs. The collection highlights the brand’s signature skin work in the Gemstone shades of Blush Rose, Lavender, Ruby Red, Blacks and Pristine White, reflecting a decadent art palette with varying brightness and a subtle eye for detail .
The brand celebrated a new era of art and culture through its wearables. We personally love the red and lavender colored sarees with their handcrafted floral motifs with skein work.
The collection contained 17 wears for both men and women and the designer duo kept functionality as a key element in all their looks.
“For us, couture is synonymous with recreating restrained glamor with modern techniques and distinctive silhouettes, which stand out from our festive offerings as part of the ready-to-wear category.
