    Amit Aggarwal who has long pioneered in engineering modern and innovative couture showcased his ‘Crystalis’ collection which is inspired by two wondrous natural phenomena, the formation of crystals at a molecular level and the enveloping of the metallic chrysalis around a butterfly cocoon.

    One of the most compelling visuals in the presentation were the extensive silhouettes morphing different aspects of traditional Indian and western couture shapes with each other and infusing them with structure and form.

    The outfit was a very radiant plum which was holographic in its approach so as to catch the colors of the entire collection. Shilpa carried the modern and eclectic piece which was a drape with a feeling of a flared lehenga, completely contemporary for a new age bride.

    The runway was designed in congruence with the concept and angular structures were enveloped with metallic yarns and recycled polymer sheet merging their identities.

    The sharp edges were softened with the organic characteristics of the yarns and each of these spaces contained multiple tensile yarn pyramids stacked together, forming a crystal-like installation. A special effect was the play with light: as the light passed through the pyramid structures, multiple linear shadows were formed as a visual delight.

    Amit Aggarwal Couture 2018 collection ‘Crystalis’ will subsequently be available at the Amit Aggarwal Flagship store at The Kila Seven Style Mile, Mehrauli, New Delhi and other high-end retail stores nationwide.
