With ‘Arkanam’, Amit Aggarwal weaves biology in couture clothes
Amit Aggarwal’s arkanam (on ICW 2025) converts human form into pleats, spiral and metal grace. A future vision where biology and crafts run as one.
No showstopper closed Amit Aggarwal’s showcase in the 18th Hyundai India Couture Week 2025 as no one was needed. His collection did not affect his loyal connoisseur people; It presented everyone in a world where Star Power felt unnecessary. The clothes were spectacle – the future and original.
The designer unveiled ‘Arkanam’, a collection that strips downwards for his original core, human biology. With this showcase, Agrawal trails the surface-level drama for some depth: invisible architecture that shapes life itself, our DNA.
If his previous collection, Antvorta discovered the liquidity of time, Archanam is its genetic counterpart. Double helix, the three-dimensional structure of DNA, serves as both a symbol for the entire collection and a structural blueprint. Aggarwal’s creativity takes it further, translating the code of life into scalp -silhouettes, accurate pleats and spilling forms, in which the audience was fully fascinated on the runway.
Fashion as anatomy
Each look in the arryknam is a wearet-metaphor: the gown that bears the genetic codes, suits and strands of co-orders, which rotates, layer sharp stitching with organic lines. These metallic polymers meet traditional textiles (IKAT), such as bio -engineer exoskeletons such as stretch and curve. Results: A hybrid of future and heritage. You can see that coming for the colors used in the collection.
Deep Jewel Tone grounded the collection in prosperity, while Electric Reds, iconic Blues and High-Shin Metallics gave it a parlokic, other edge. The interaction between charcoal, silver and mild-respondent surfaces added motion and mood, living and a feeling of shifting like DNA.
This collection was Agarwal’s vision to combine scientific, artistic and magnificent elements in the cotto.
A statement, not just a show
If we used to cover the show up for you, it was sublime, real, with such elements that felt the other form, but at the same time the ground was grounded, because each piece had its own story. This time, Coucher Week wanted to break its identity as just a bridal showcase, and it is safe to say that Amit Aggarwal’s 2025 Couture Collection was able to do it to a great extent.
