ELEMENTAL | 2025 HARBIN FASHION WEEK, CHINA

Elemental

ELEMENTAL is a celebration of duality: the ferocity of wild landscapes and the delicate balance of human creativity. Drawing from nature’s untamed spirit, the designs fuse leopard prints, tiger-inspired patterns, and zebra stripes with the soft elegance of lotus blooms and rose motifs—a symbolic bridge between power and vulnerability. These motifs, rendered in a rich autumnal palette of deep red, emerald green, and burnt amber, are punctuated by shimmering gold embroidery.

The collection transcends geographical and cultural boundaries, weaving together the raw dynamism of nature, the richness of Indian craftsmanship, and a universal language of strength. Central to the collection’s ethos is its homage to cultural unity. Kumar, a stalwart of sustainable luxury, marries Indian textiles like handloom cotton and silk with avant-garde silhouettes, creating pieces that speak to both heritage and futurism. Accessories with uniquely designs leather bags handcrafted by leather artisans, the collection interplays tradition and innovation.

The signature printed shirts, with their bold animalistic patterns, exude a rebellious energy, while the gold-detailed jackets and shirts radiate quiet sophistication. Kumar’s commitment to ethical craftsmanship shines through with his collaborations with local Indian artisans. “Luxury cannot exist without responsibility,” he emphasized. “The earth’s elements sustain us; it’s our duty to honor them through mindful creation.” This philosophy resonates in the tactile textures of handprinted and appliquéd leather jackets blazers and trenchcoats, where every fold and embroidery tells a story of patience and reverence for natural materials.

 In Kumar’s hands, fashion becomes more than fabric; it’s a catalyst for connection, a celebration of the primal forces that bind us all.
