Future forward

Seven of India's best designers give us an insight into their vision for 2050...and their all-time favourite muse.

Amit Aggarwal

"As we look ahead to 2050, the brand will be pushing the boundaries of fashion, merging art, technology, and avant-garde aesthetics. Our designs will not only captivate visually but also incorporate practical functionalities through embedded sensors and interactive elements, enriching the wearer's experience. Every design will be a marvel of innovation and artistic expression, creating a sense of wonder. Amit Aggarwal in 2050 will embody visionary fashion, blurring the lines between imagination and reality, and set new standards in futuristic design.

Nature and architecture have always been eternal muses, inspiring me with their beauty and resilience. Together, they create a dynamic dialogue and drive our design language that celebrates beauty, sustainability, and innovation."

We envision the brand evolving globally, with our footprint expanding and creating experiences that transcend cultural boundaries. Our goal will always be to continually push the boundaries of couture.
