AMIT AGGARWAL:
AGGARWAL LUMEN
Amit Aggarwal’s collection, titled ‘Lumen’, had all the
creative intricacies of design that Aggarwal is known
for. The line was replete with tulle, lace organza,
a,
intricate hand-embroidery, and 3D embellishments
ents
that were in angular forms and patterns. The colour
olour
card moved from jewel tones such as emerald, ,
petrol blue, purple, and plum to gold, blush, silver,
ver,
and ivory, along with neon hues. Womenswear r
was impressive with moulded Edwardian bustles,
es,
while the bridal lehengas and saris, too, had
Amit’s signature stamp, not to mention the drapes
pes
and layers, which played a fashionable medley. .
Menswear was ceremonial with jacquards, silks,
s,
and handwoven fabrics, with geometric motifs and
3D-work creating a visual impact.
