1) Kismet by Payal Singhal x R|Elan
As the world got comfortable in pyjamas, Singhal’s Kismet collection of Indian athleisure showcased a playful, Gen–Z friendly line of fun clothing. She collaborated with material manufacturer R|Elan for this collection, which was crafted using eco-friendly fabrics.
Closing the show, dressed in a yellow, bee garden printed embroidered bomber jacket, bustier and skirt was actress Athiya Shetty. “It’s impossible to ignore the times we are living in when designing a collection now,” says Singhal. “We’ve spent the past year in kaftans and loungewear, they have become wardrobe essentials!”
