The final days shows at the HDIL India Couture Week in Mumbai reclaimed the runway for couture
When Arjun Khanna zoomed onto the runway on his vintage Ariel to take the final bow,he could be forgiven for showing off. The couturier took menswear to another level on the final day of the Week with his collection inspired by the Victorian age,when men were explorers,hunters,and tamers of wild beasts. The designer brought the era to the ramp with a breathtaking set,created using furniture,books,lamps and sundry other items from a Victorian gentlemans smoking room. But it wasnt all show and no substance — the clothes revealed Khannas mastery over tailoring and ability to innovate. Biker jackets were elongated to form elaborately embroidered achkans,velvet smoking jackets were paired with distressed leather bags,and perfectly cut jodhpurs were teamed with racing caps and whips. The show was a successful debut for Khanna on the couture week runway; the only judgement of his that we would question is the decision to get actor Abhay Deol as his showstopper for a collection that was meant to be for the alpha male.
