THE AGE OF TOTAL “REDISCOVERY”
–A world where human and technology will be one.
An
infinite journeyof pushing information
and media to
‘infinity and beyond'…

Societies are built on the basis of continual data that records
healthier global lifestyles.

Interior spaces move closer to nature with the ease of
industrial design technology - rustic and minimal homes
define the newindustrial chic.

Traditional concepts of the human mastermind meet
automation and robotics of the present to create
products that are unique in this new ‘human-space'.
The ones who defy modernism - weave and knit
architectural designs that are organic, not to lose a sense of all
things‘indigenous'.
A hybrid world is in the making
–bringing together ‘bio and synthetic' objects to create a
‘biotech self-sustainingworld'.

‘Waste' forms the source for natural raw material to facilitate design that is crafted to create a
sustainable hi-techfuture.
This fall, technology comes into the spotlight, bringing in the inspiring and unexpected collaborations between man and
the virtual world. Different time zones, miles of distance, or even a lost phone number, nothing in today’s world can come
in between a heartfelt conversation between two people. With apps and social media platforms at the consumer’s
fingertips, the virtual world has now connected millions across the planet. The cheerful shades of Empire Yellow, Fiesta,
Jelly Bean, Dazzling Blue and Fuchsia Pink depict the loopholes of space and time bridging illustrating global linkages.
bringing out broken and optical aspects of the conventional highland mountain woven patterns. The fabrics witness
transient effects and illusive twists during the weaving processes, acquiring reworked and resized manipulated
versions of the conservative geometrics. Tartans, twills and checks are composed together with animal prints, pulling
in poles apart elements into one pattern whereas twills undergo shape variations leading

DARK FANTASYFluid and festive fabrics reveal the preciousness of the not-so-conventional Princess’s Wardrobe, where the ambiance
feeds on dark demeanour and dolorous setting. The fabrics take inspiration from the closet of an evil princess, who
usurps the privilege to adorn herself with all things ornate and decorative, with a hint of prophetic gloom. Intricate
embroideries, flock printed floral surfaces, shiny and shimmery chenille knits and lavish laces fabricate the fiery vibe of
this murky and mysterious story. Reflective glass nylons and organzas embellished with strokes of shiny threads and
laser leather floral appliqué on lace tend to induce a tricky atmosphere of ambiguity. Velvets, screen printed marbled
fabrics, synthetic tulle with lurex, columns of sequins merging with couched woolimpeccable finishes adding depth and drama to the purely visionary trend.threads on net permeate the dark essence into the theme.
METALLICOpaque and translucent metallic fabrics unfold the majestic and futuristic range of performance coatings, ethereal
metal tones and ephemeral colorations. Owing to the multiple mirror aspects and dazzling marls of this futuristic story,
shiny leathers, radiant rexines, lustrous lamés and glistening heat set polyesters create a new visually appealing
direction for the sci-fi inclined mass to follow. Transitory fabrics with laser cut, plastic feel, iridescent shine and
holographic shimmer drop a hint of the ultramodern fashion forward times to come. Leather, nylon, neoprene and
mesh complete the picture providing metallic coating, complex structures, smooth

WHIMSICAL KNITSBoucle, slub and spiral yarns knit a narrative fairytale of varied patterns with cable, purl and interlocking stitches. With
fanciful portrayals of knits in distinct sculptural effects, varieties of intarsia, ribs and waffles are now seen embracing
this rising experimental niche. Colorful yarn applications and knit jacquards do justice to the wide experimental
possibilities making interesting eccentric knit designs. Patterned single jerseys and simplexes are seen in a capricious
amalgamation with delicate laces and white thread work. The archetypical fleece knits are revamped and presented in
manipulated versions consisting of surrealistic swirls on the surface and screen printed floral designs. Multi-colour
ombre effect yarns bring out distinctive avatars of double, popcorn and waffle
knits, showingan impressive emergence this season. is infused into the conventional embossed structures in jacquardpatterns.
ARTISTICFolk influences from the last fall carry on in this season with a blast of creativity and expression, characterised by
elements from the Middle Eastern and Native American Indian. The essence of art and craft is depicted through
mayhem of prints, crafted knits, patterned plaids and raw handmade impressions and motifs. Surfaces get inspired by
the organic surfaces and colour blast of the traditional slow folk. Geometric woven patterns, cable knit manipulations,
multi- colour weaves and an array of braided effects, intermix of fibres and mish mash of slubs, chenilles, and flock
yarns. Feather like surfaces are created from soft moss-like pile fleece and contemporary twist

FLATSOLID
Solid shapes in flat colorus will be
arranged, one on top of the other, to
create compositions and patterns of
modern perspectives, used throughout
− in architecture, interiors and also
in graphics. Havingits roots deeply
influenced by the minimalistmovement,
geometric abstractions in visualimagery
will outline a more structured eye of
looking at paint and fine art. . .
MIXED MEDIA
Emerging from a more recentphenomenon
of the human mind – ‘a sense of collage’ has
taken over visual arts, giving anartist the power
of exploring new boundaries in the idea of
proportion. Mixing art and craft, fashion and
photography with digital imagery and graphics
– Mixed Media is shouting its way to define the
art of the 21st century. ..

FREESTROKE
In reaction to the ‘flat’, a highly expressive brush
stroke has taken birth to be called a ‘superstroke’.
Spreading like wildfire in contemporary times, style
is reaching out as a movement in itself, defying
realism to create artworks that voice the rebellion
of the artist behind. Adding texture and strokes to a
mixed choice of media, the style vouches to now be
