Their latest collection presented by R|Elan™ was all about the theme “Assemble, Disassemble and Reassemble” for a look created from recycled PET materials as a pre-launch initiative at the world class Jio World Convention Centre, in Mumbai’s commercial hub Bandra-Kurla Complex.

Key Elements

  •  Assembled surfaces and graphic patterns cleverly merged with prints and designs that brought a renewed visual delight to techniques of recycling
  • A sustainable line that blended tradition with technology and New Age materials in a contemporary, stylish format

Fashion Story

The designers showcased stylish, modern, ready-to-wear collection of Tunics, pants, wrap skirts and dresses; kimono inspired jackets and cleverly constructed saris. When it came to the colour card, the designing pair selected the neutral classics like black and white, but added haute shades of burgundy, red, wine, coffee and olive. Some of the eye catchers were the simple, black, wrap, long skirt that was ideal for Brunch when teamed with a basic but stylish blouse with minute detailing.

David Abraham and Rakesh Thakore on the Collection

 “The process of the breaking down of PET materials to create textiles is a crucial step in the circular journey of responsible fashion production. The disassembling and reassembling of materials have inspired this collection. It takes a look at the traditional methods of recycling and upcycling of textiles that are a part of our common textile heritage.”
