Shantanu & Nikhil

Culling the essence and emotions of Indian culture and marrying it with a modern western sensibility, Shantanu & Nikhil have a deeper, less obvious take on this new exotic fusion. Their ensembles present eternal femininity draped in lush classicism. With their unique subtext of delicate details, simple harmonies and rich textural formats, the brand has come to epitomize refinement and luxury in fashion. While keeping the handwriting essentially subtle with Indian monochromatic tones, the language is most definitely contemporary and silhouette centric. A color palette that envelops India in its purest form, from the virginal whites to the vintage chromes have in fact become a true signature of Shantanu & Nikhil, priding themselves on the philosophy that a smart interplay of vintage colors on beautiful Indian skin tones is what makes India such a hugely inspirational land of cross-cultures and future global trends.
