With Republic Day upon us this weekend, young designer Aniket Satam feels that it is the ideal time to celebrate the free spirit and emotion of patriotism and power of unanimity. And this is why he has come up with an exquisite limited edition assortment of classic silhouettes, detailed with elaborate calligraphy, to celebrate the Devanagari script. This collection is typographically flourished with bold Hindi alphabets in an unusual graphic style.

Aniket has incorporated timeless silhouettes inspired by colonial India. these range from pea coats, full skirts, tea dresses, unapologetically splattered further with graphic calligraphy in ghetto spray painting style.  The abstract quirkiness of Graffiti art on traditional retro silhouettes narrates the anti-suppression stance holding up modern India. The designs are detailed further with pin-tucks, pleats, folds etc adding to its textural grace.
