Crafted from recycled plastics and industrial materials, Amit Aggarwal’s floor-skimming dresses and lehengas at FDCI’s India Couture Week have a future as art. He was “looking inwards” he’d told me back then, and also trying to understand “how excess fabrics could go into creating something new and fresh, an interesting story for clients”. “Really beautiful, it looked like a superb, modern ikat.” A glitch in time At his Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium show last week, where the drab interiors of the auditorium were intentionally retained, Aggarwal’s models showcased tiered and fantastically cut dresses, prismatic flowing skirts, fun jumpsuits and sharp, geometric menswear in this very fabric. It’s almost like a tiger on the prowl but in Amit Aggarwal’s style,” says celebrity stylist Anaita Shroff Adajania who has known the designer since his first collection. “Back then, he used to make these deceptively simple clothes but they always fit beautifully.” Among his models’ adornments were armors and halos, reminiscent of gods or goddesses.
