    Varun-and-Ashish

    Eight most-coveted menswear designers sent a dashing army of metrosexual men down the runway dressed to kill! We found ourselves among a sea of well structured and smartly tailored silhouettes that perfectly compliment the modern Indian male.

    Rohit-and-Abhishek

    The show opened with a bang, with Rohit + Rahul’s brigade of men clad in monochromes, translated into straight-cut trousers, ending just above the ankle, trailing tunics for men, asymmetric hemlines and unidentical lapels. Leather backpacks added a rebellious touch to the collection.

    This was followed by Abhishek Gupta, who sent universally appealing tailored suits, complimented through window pane checks coordinated with oversized hounds-tooth and textured blazers with zipper details. Knotted scarves in an array of prints adorned the necklines of these clean-cut suits, adding an element of softness to the collection. An element that stood out the most was the rubber print done in tone-on-tone motifs.

    Troy-and-Rajesh-Pratap

    Ashish N Soni broke the code of structured dressing by introducing shimmer as an element that found itself in pants and blazers, both along with screen-printing to create quirky motifs like starry polka-dots. Scarves and bow-ties lent quite the semi-formal touch to the collection.

    Varun Bahl went all out with frivolous characteristics, with formal print on print suits, athleisure-inspired sweats and blazers paired with yoga pants. Ending on a more dramatic note were 3D surface details adorning classic suits, Bahl sent the audience into a frenzy of excitement and applause.

    Rohit-Bal

    Troy Costa raised our expectations even further, with his ‘Eye of the Tiger’, but turned out to meet us halfway by sending out similar tailored suits in a variety of upholstered fabric surfaces. The underlying element was one of sheen that remained constant throughout the collection.

    Rajesh Pratap Singh, known for his flair with hand-spun and hand-woven fabrics, translated well into double breasted jackets paired with voluminous pants and minutely quilted fabrics chosen for coats. A golden upholstered suit donned by a black model gained a lot of appreciation in tune with the global efforts to eradicate racism. Heads covered in plastic and necks wrapped in scarves added a touch of drama to the ensembles. Regal vibes ensued with JJ Valaya launching foil-printed pants paired with royal velvet blazers. Menswear silhouettes had an androgynous characteristic to it, with the details being focused on ruched sleeves and duppattas worn as sashes.

    Rohit Bahl demanded attention right from the start, with extravagant frilled necklines, wrapped around skirts, paired with blazers, tunic kurtas with ruffled hemlines and quilted techniques. Details like kaleidoscopic prints, breeches and Nehru jacket necklines complete with kohl-eyed men, strutting down the runway, giving off an extremely vampire-ish vibe to the  show.
