Samant Chauhan
Samant Chauhan’s collection was an ode to colours. Colours of reimagining a world in memory. It is an attempt to redefine those old structure silhouette with cold shoulder and low necklines in silk fabric. Most of it was a homage to changing moods and absence , which endure despite love and other fleeting happiness.
Virtues
Their collection for the fashion week was about fun with clothing, in monochromes and gypsy vibes. Robes, jackets and anarkalis in Chanderi were coordinated with skirts, jump suits and trousers. The mirror work from the houses of Kutch adds some soft shine. The digital prints took a blurred inspiration from treasured Raja Ravi Verma prints. The bead detailing on every edge is inspired from Kutch with hint of mirrors and thread work.

The Declaration 2034 reinstateds signature Shantanu & Nikhil attributes through renewed military influences and empowering sartorial layering, hued in a classic palette of decadence and power of navy’s, off whites, olives and blacks. A congregation of insignias, authoritarian silhouettes with patriotic-chic styling immediately transcends you to a tranquil world where heritage embraces spunk.
