Suket Dhir launches his latest collection in Chennai
15 June 2022, Mumbai:
Known for working with Indian artisans and weavers to create precise, joyful prints on luxurious fabrics, Dhir is a graduate of NIFT Delhi.
His designs gained an international platform when he won the coveted International Woolmark Prize in 2016 for a meticulously engineered collection of ikat woven with merino wool on handloom.
His eponymous label, co-founded with his Indian-Russian wife Svetlana, became popular for its distinctive aesthetic, fusing Indian handloom and design with contemporary silhouettes and imaginative, often cheeky, prints.
Dhir new collection-The Orchard- offers bomber jackets in silk damask, classic blazers in rich silk brocade, breezy shirt-style pleated dresses in muga satin silk and relaxed oversized shirts in cotton silk. Dhirhas also released an ivory Frescoe collection, lively with unexpected owls, inspired by a fresco of a lotus pond, which — true to form —Suket has updated in unexpected ways.
