Lakme Fashion Week

Art meets Fashion

As art partners for Lakme Fashion Week SR’19, we had the opportunity to showcase the work of artists deeply inspired by fashion. Here’s a glimpse of the creative collaborations we brought to life.

Dana & Peta by Aaquib Wani

Dana (Warp) and Peta (Weft) are terms for the two basic components used in weaving to turn thread or yarn into fabric. In Guru Granth Sahib, many shabads in Gurbani use the metaphor of Dana and Peta to describe the state where our soul imbibes into the Almighty. A metaphor that encapsulates the basic dichotomy of life, its reimagining here is contemporary yet timeless and just as relevant. 

SKINNED by Rhea Gupte

SKINNED explores the beauty of being bare. Without an external layer which society and at times we define ourselves by, this series creates a parallel between humans and the photographed subjects. In an age where appearances are a formidable part of one's being, be it on social media or in real life, the series attempts to create an emotional dialogue into understanding each other at a deeper level by having inanimate objects discard their outer layer to reveal their bare selves.

Laced by SAGE

The sneaker culture has exploded and how. What used to be a niche interest till a few years back has become a massive mainstream rage. From the thrill of walking into a small store tucked in an alley and discovering an iconic pair, it’s now all about ‘hypebeasts’, ultra-limited editions, online experts and resellers looking to cash in on all the craze. It’s the ultimate style statement and everyone wants a bite. Everyone. And at any cost.
