Spring-Summer 2023.
The many moods of the Season come
gloriously alive in a Feast of eclectic ranges from the signature and ethereal
elegance of ‘Bakhiya’ and the floral romance of ‘Resham Boota and ‘Floret’ to
the Bohemian glamour of ‘Gypsy’ inspired by Rajasthan's Kalbelia tribe and
‘Russia’ an ode to the country's art legacy, multiple influences from Mughal
and Art Deco Architecture, Nature, diverse cultures and techniques inform this
extraordinary melange of creative expression. The Mumtaz, Jaali-mirror and
sequins ranges exude drop-dead glamour.
From the classic to the avant-garde, this
collection is an absolute revelation and is designed to thrill the most
discerning fashion connoisseurs.
Mard by Abu Sandeep ushers in the new
season with a delicious blend of ranges that boast exemplary craftsmanship and
the reinvention of classic silhouettes and heritage techniques and textiles to
create a thoroughly modern design expression that is destined to remain
timeless in its appeal. From the understated, pristinely regal elegance of ‘Bakhiya’ and the soothing pastels of ‘Applique
Mirror’ to the festive exuberance of ‘Holi’ a riot of colour in tie and dye and
the glamour of ‘Mirror’ and the dazzling craft of textile techniques like
Ajrak, Bandhani and Ikat, this is an
absolute smorgasbord of style for the 21st-century man.
A fabulous fury of artistic expression in
sumptuous fabrics, block prints and embroideries that celebrate masculine style
in an entire spectrum of silhouettes that pay homage to the classical in a
decidedly contemporary manner.

celebrity presence with a host of luminaries putting themselves firmly behind
this incredible cause.
