Arcanum blends tradition with futurism, showcasing transformation.

On the third day of Hyundai India Couture Week 2025, designer Amit Aggarwal once again pushed the boundaries of couture with his visionary new collection, Arcanum. Known for fusing fashion with philosophy, the designer turned inward this season – delving into the very code of life: DNA.

Arcanum is not just a couture line; it’s a conceptual journey through the invisible architecture that defines human existence. Where last year’s Antevorta traced the outer dimensions of time, this collection explores its molecular interior – a meditation on the helix of memory, adaptation, and identity. Through five meticulously curated chapters: Origin, Bloom, Pulse, Mutation, and Memory, Amit Aggarwal crafts a story that transcends garments, speaking instead in the language of transformation.

The show was a visual, auditory, and sensory treat. The collection opens with Origin, evoking the stillness before life takes form. Cocoon-like structures made from handwoven nylon and organic cotton wrap the body in a state of dormant potential. Then comes Bloom, where silhouettes unfurl like petals, echoing the awakening of genetic identity. Micro-pleated textures, signature polymers, and luminous colours breathe life into sculpted forms, revealing nature’s inherent geometry.

With Pulse, the garments begin to move: literally and metaphorically. Crystal veins and parametric metal details pulse across the body, expressing the interconnectedness of all living systems. This flows into Mutation, where design embraces unpredictability. Symmetry is disrupted, textures clash, and fluidity reigns, capturing the chaotic beauty of evolution and resilience.

The final chapter, Memory, is a quiet crescendo. Drawing inspiration from ikat – an ancient technique where patterns are encoded into the yarn before weaving, Aggarwal reimagines heritage as a sculptural form. Here, tradition meets futurism, and the past lives on not just in fabric but in motion.

Through Arcanum, Amit Aggarwal doesn’t just dress the body; he dresses the self in transition. The result is a collection that is deeply emotional, profoundly intelligent, and visually transcendent.
