Things can change overnight, let alone over two years. Amit Aggarwal’s latest collection, Supernova, is targetted at the people who have emerged from the pandemic. “We are stepping towards a new world,” says Aggarwal, 44. “I have seen people change around me; they have accepted that there is a struggle. But in between those challenges, how do you still rejoice? How do you still keep evolving?”
It’s this sense of rejoicing that lights up his Summer ’22 line. He’s used three distinct colour stories — luminous pink, radiant green, and shimmery monochromes like pewter, grey, silver and mica. “Never has the brand seen so many colours in one collection,” he shares. “It was a big challenge and risk to move away from our traditional palettes of jewel tones or neutrals. But people are loving it. It’s summer couture, so there are a lot of occasions, be it a wedding or everyday celebrations.”
