CASUAL CONCEPTS
CLEAN KIMONOS
As the world turns into a global village, designers are not only inspired by the art and architecture in their immediate environment but are also greatly influenced by different cultures from around the world! The Kimono which was done away and dusted a few decades ago paves its way back into the man’s closet one again. This piece of clothing underlines the importance of contentment and puts emphasis on luxury as it entails the use of pure organic fabric. Kimonos are fast making for an interesting style statement.
SHIRTING UP
Looking smart on screen, and keeping with the rehashed uptake on comfort; our designers have fabricated a scintillating line of casual shirts involving large floral prints. The silhouettes gratify an individual's inner being. These shirts are tailored using biodegradable fabrics and are completed in an array of tones ranging from pale pastels to vivid earthy hues. The inclusion of large polka dots or floral block prints, have begun to make quite a global statement. The exhilarating designs add that much-needed zing to your mundane word-day.
