Within the glitz and glamour of the starry evening, ace fashion designer Kunal Anil Tanna launched his Autumn/Winter’19 Collection, titled ‘Alacrity’, with his muse for the collection and acclaimed Bollywood actor, Rahul Khanna at his store in Mumbai.
Drawing inspiration from cosseting the soul by reminiscing the delightful past and yet, embracing the future , Kunal Anil Tanna launched his collection, Alacrity that signifies the cheerful readiness to take on the next phase .
Kunal reinvents his silhouettes and brings in an unwilted sense of restful cheer. Securely layered ensembles reflect a soothing yet enthusiastic appeal. Yet again experimenting with the shirt and trench styles, he immaculately amalgamates them not only with Jackets but also with classic Indian forms like Achkan, Bandi, etc. A refreshing attire option for the modern groom and his boy entourage.
With a forte for developing intricate fabric surfaces, holding on to the cuddling moments and seeking a pampering sense of solace, the patterns are influenced from grand ma’s humbly patched comforters. Cozy cable knits and quilted textures recall the warmth of childhood memories.
Nostalgic hues that set the mood, with a refreshed desire of seeking shelter under the calming deep unsaturated tones. Tints of expresso brown, serene anthracite blue, gentle gradations of slate grey and neutral heritage shades, form a perfect zealous palette.
Talking about his collection, Kunal shares his thoughts,“The collection is truly about broadening horizons yet having that nostalgic feel to it. I’ve played with silhouettes and layering and that has been refreshing as a designer. And to see Rahul Khanna embody it so elegantly has been a true pleasure.”
Rahul Khanna plays the perfect muse for the evening, further commenting, “It has been an absolute pleasure to be part of Kunal’s new collection. My personal style is classic with a bit of modernity and twist, and Alacrity is just that. Kunal plays with the classic silhouettes and in-house developed fabric texturesand I would love to wear the amazing knit pieces for the Delhi winters.”
