Ashish N Soni Showcases Fabric Innovation with R|Elan™ at Lakmé Fashion Week

“I have to give credit to R|Elan™ because they trusted me, impeccably. We worked completely like a team. We were speaking almost four or fives times a week. I actually had a lot of developments that they especially did for me. For instance, we developed a fabric using R|Elan™ Kooltex and bamboo. A lot of shirts, the one where the fabrics were flowing, were made from it. And with that level of trust, I was under pressure to deliver. It was an amazing experience for me to have worked with R|Elan™.”

“I’m going to avoid the obvious. Wes Anderson is known for a lot of colour and I said, okay, I’m going to steer away from that. And how about we go austere and we look at doing only black. Two things will come out of it. One, am I a good tailor? And second, how impeccably I bring finesse to the fabrics? Because any flaw will show more in black than any other colour. So, I took on that challenge and I said that I’m going to put my entire tailoring prowess into this collection.”
