Bill Cunningham once said, “Fashion is the armour to survive the reality of everyday life.” But what happens when reality becomes too harsh? The mind travels. The imagination gives birth to a new world where dystopian fantasies thrive. TV series likehave managed to capture the fancy of both millennials and their parents simply because mankind has always harboured a morbid sort of fascination for the apocalyptic culmination that our world is hurtling towards.
Harsha and Shruti Bishwajit, are the designer-duo behind the Madras-based label Biskit. Titled ‘Space Out’ their collection comprises functional unisex clothing styles mixed with prints inspired by space. They are approaching fashion as an art project to tell stories through their design language. Siblings Avni and Ambar Aneja are true millennials. Still in their early twenties, Six5Six Street has been able to engage with social issues concerning the youth through their streetwear clothing. Think T-shirts with captions such as ‘Digital Detox’ or ‘Click-Bait’ on psychedelic tie-dye prints paired with neon bottoms.
Excerpts from an interview where the designers throw light on what dystopia means to their label and how they translate this ethos into their design philosophy.
