Titled “Studio 54”, the collection is inspired by the iconic club of the same name where expression, dance and fashion were about the individual. This season,he invented six characters to portray individual aspects of a human being known as the “Tytler Army”.
1. David – David is gender fluid and loves his expression in fashion.
2. Lucifer – Lucifer loves to turn towards the dark side of fashion and loves to experiment with goth and the emo movement in fashion.
3. Mary – Mary is our plus size girl who doesn’t give a damn about what the world thinks and we love her for it.
4. Butterfly – Butterfly derived her inspiration from the Harajuku movement on the streets of Japan.
5. Ming Lee – Ming Lee is very sexually expressive and takes no nonsense from anybody.
6. Candy – Candy has a fabulous body and she loves to flaunt it yet is very coy in her approach.
Features
The styles are a reflection of the 80s with tweaks of today. It’s fun, flirty but yet very bold and defines an individual as he/she wants. The silhouettes consist of structural corsets, bodycon dresses, peasant tops, co-ord sets and track suits for her.

Designer’s Take
“I have been associated with the FDCI since 2006 and have had an association with Lakme since 2009. I think it’s absolutely amazing that the FDIC and Lakme have joined forces this season. It makes the fashion industry stronger and more integrated, which was needed for a very long time.”
