The best works of art tell a story. They go beyond visuals and themes and compel you onto a journey unlike none other. Designer Sahil Kochhar’s newest collection SAFAR, tells the story of a young lady, who is treading through the complexities of friendship, the heat of passion and the soft symphonies of destiny. Transcending borders, celebrating culture, and harnessing nature, this collection is truly a sight to behold.
The Art And The Artist
Kochhar endeavoured to weave a story into the very fabric of his collection. To convey his emotions through his work, to breathe the fabric to life. To create a ballad showcasing his sincerity and love for his craft, ushering in hope and bonds that tranced our mortal world.
Celebrating Nature
The jaw-dropping visuals of Thailand in all its glory that further accentuated the special artistry of the collection was done in collaboration with the Authorities of Thailand Tourism. It only went to show how both cultures blended into each other seamlessly, complementing their rich artistry and craftsmanship.
Championing Culture
While embracing the modern world and all it has to offer, Sahil Kochhar has showcased tradition throughout his collection. With a combination of intricate embroidery, exquisite textures, and flowing silhouettes, SAFAR champions both the modern world while celebrating the rich heritage of India and Thai artistry.
The Land Of Smiles
Known as the land of smiles, Thailand has the power to leave every visitor in awe of everything the Kingdom has to offer, from its ancient temples to its serene beaches. This project blended seamlessly with Thailand’s rich culture. Shooting across 10 locations in a mere seven days, showcasing the breathtaking backdrops that Thailand has to offer, this collection very quickly became a labour of love. Each location was carefully selected to further the story Kochhar wanted to tell, while celebrating the beauty of Thailand.
A New Era
It is so easy to be charmed by the fleeting fashion trends that fly past us every season, but Sahil Kochhar’s collection, SAFAR, reminds us about the beauty of dreams, the magic of heritage and the power of collaborating. At its core, SAFAR is not just a collection, it is an ode to life itself and everything it has to offer.
