Collage, a multi-designer boutique in Chennai hosted The Men Are Talking, their first display of men’s fashion featuring pieces by Vivek Karunakaran and Suket Dhir. Men’s fashion has evolved into androgynous territory in the last few decades in India, and this is what makes Vivek and Suket’s new collections stand out.
Walking into The Men Are Talking event, the eye-catching prints displayed by both designers catch my eye faster than it takes for me to register the Billy Joel song playing in the background. You can tell their prints apart by Vivek’s muted tones and traditional fabrics, and Suket’s bold designs and sparkling hues. With food from Pumpkin Tales, and rock music playing , the showcase feels like nothing short of a celebration.
