Kaushik Velendra debuts his spring 2021 collection just after opening a new atelier—in Alexander McQueen’s former studio.
, is intent on creating a new chapter in this storied old building.
Entitled ‘Romeo & Romeo,’ his spring 2021 collection featured 18 looks shown to an audience of 20, for reasons of safety. During a preview chat beforehand Velendra shared a tour through the various iterations of the contoured shoulder-pads that are his trademark piece.
“Anybody can wear it, whatever their body shape, and it’s actually very wearable for women as well,” said Velendra, who added that his plans for the lower half of the building are: “to give our customers the chance to meet me, discuss their requirements, see their clothes being made, and to be a part of the whole experience. We can hold our own shows without being beholden to seasons, and when it’s not a runway the space can transform into a studio.
COVID-19 complications put pay to Velendra’s plans to ornament this collection, but as well holding a future show in India he says he plans to work with artisans from his home country to apply beading, sequins, and other finishes to future pieces. “I would like to build an Indian powerhouse,” he added. A powerhouse built on power shoulders? You wouldn’t bet against it.Sign Up Now
