Amit Aggarwal’s Hyundai ICW Collection Was All About Exploring New Silhouettes

Amit Aggarwal stuns us yet again.

  • Amit Aggarwal India Couture Week

    Amit Aggarwal unveiled his collection ‘Antevorta’ at the Hyundai India Couture Week, inspired by the Roman Goddess of the future. ‘Antevorta’ symbolises the connection between time and the universe. The collection intricately weaves philosophical, mythological, religious, scientific, and cosmological influences into a temporal narrative.

    The set had a huge installation with metallic wires on the runway, and the music was also dark and eerie. Both these elements added to the mystical vibe of the place.

    The designer reiterates his love for drama through the otherworldly silhouettes throughout the collection.

    The colour palette included electric blue, pinks, reds, gold, silver, and black. Dramatic, structured silhouettes and metallics took centre stage.

    One look had a cocoon silhouette, similar to the Balenciaga cocoon, but much more exaggerated. Another stand-out look was a black men’s suit with red dripping from the shoulders. While Amit’s signatures were on full display, we also saw some new textiles. It was essentially an amalgamation of his signatures and stuff that he doesn’t usually do. The styling added to the otherworldliness of the looks, with elements like dramatic red shimmer lipstick, exaggerated hairstyles and over-the-top headgears peppered throughout the collection.

    It’ll be interesting to see brides unleash their avant-garde side with Amit Aggarwal this season.

    For Manifest to become one of Cambridge Dictionary's most viewed words of 2024 — 1,30,000 hits and counting — it means some of us must have Googled it at least once. I know, I hit that search button over and over again
    because each time I looked at it, I saw a new meaning.

    Putting together a homegrown title at a time when the demise of print has been long announced may seem surprising...
    ...but it has long been a dream of mine to give India a magazine it deserves. A magazine that is the country.

    And nothing, absolutely nothing, represents India more than our weddings.It is a time when families are brought together. Traditions come alive as they are adapted to each couple's beliefs. And lives are joined in a way that the romantic in me still enjoys.

    The fact that it comes with band, baaja and baraat — what's not to love?And that is the reason our first issue celebrates:
    THE NEW BRIDE.
