For an
artist, perhaps the best form of expression of his thoughts is in the form of
his art. What happens when someone comes up with wearable form of art with good
functionality and usages? Answer to the question is just in one word- Design!
Kolkata
based designer duo, have come up with a collection which satisfy their hunger
to express their thoughts about the current situation of society.
“We
continue living a censored life as we lose the right to humanity and the
freedom to love as the way we want to love. It’s a criminal offense to explore
oneself in the truest nature. Sex and sexuality is taboo where we are blinded
by the word ‘culture’. Ironically the same culture which has left its
impression in literature and art and sculpture is now replaced by vandalism and
rape.” – Dev R Nil
With
their autumn winter 14 collection, they raise their voice against the norms of
society which keeps a person away from loving someone else and ask for the
freedom of expression.
In order
to tell the story of forbidden love, the designers have used monochromes, surface embroideries;
harsh geometric prints and few deliberately developed “unfinished” prints are
interestingly mixed and layered.
