Staying true to their design aesthetics, Antar Agni and Khanijo presented collections that represented change and the ongoing performance that is life.
Khanijo
Street wear literally from the Indian streets, yet had a predominant local, rustic flavour. Joggers’ pants, stripes and prints for kurtas, overalls and the sudden entry of an elephant print biker’s jacket kept the show’s tempo upbeat.
Key Features
Mish mash of handlooms, indigenous embroideries, and artisanal textiles into handcrafted pieces celebrating Indian craftsmanship in an artful street wear collection
Cuts and styles however spoke a global fashion language. Surface texturing revolved around intense spiral machining for a jacket with edged lapels.
Colorful fun prints for shirts that evoked the circus theme
Gaurav Khanijo of Khanijo
“Doing a show after two years has been nothing less than an ecstatic moment in itself and we are absolutely elated to have been able to present this collection and the idea behind it along with adidas”
Antar Agni
Men’s wear comprises a line-up of jackets, kurtas, fluid salwars and trousers. There were cleverly constructed jackets, while curved hemlines for trousers/jackets gave a relaxed silhouette. Outlines in abstract shapes worked as simple prints but a shot of burnt orange brought a rush of colour for the jackets with innovative lapels.
Women’s wear line comprises skirts and dresses with some interesting overlays that will give the ladies several stylish options. Baggy pants, oversized coats, midi skirts with over shirts and trendy kurtas, asymmetric hemlines, low crotch pants and petal skirts with matching blouses completed the look.
Key Features
A new expression of the brand’s design aesthetic presented through graphic prints and bold colors like burnt orange, teal blue, ivory and black, complementing the layers and silhouettes, brought together in a story of the paradoxes of minimalism and maximalism.
Muse
Actor & Singer, Shruti Haasan, wearing Antar-Agni paired with the adidas Originals Forum Mid Parley shoes from the soon to be launched, ‘Originals by Parley’ footwear collection.
adidas Originals by Parley collection launches globally on World Earth Day, 22nd April 2022, and will be available in India across all adidas Originals retail stores and digitally on adidas.co.in and on the adidas India shopping app.
Ujjawal Dubey, the founder of Antar Agni
“Super stoked we got to share the stage with adidas and are so glad that the gorgeous Shruti Haasan humbled us with her presence. This collection is very special to us, and the use of colour play is something distinct that we engaged in this time round.”
