Indian designer Ashish Soni presented his ‘All Black Everything’ collection on day 2 of the Amazon India Fashion Week Spring Summer 2018 in New Delhi to celebrate his 25th year in the fashion industry.

‘All Black Everything’ collection includes classic tuxedos alongside embellished dinner jackets, draped kurtas with knee length asymmetrically cut short trousers for men. The womenswear has black jumpsuits, tuxedo dresses and womens pant suits. The collection also features several evening capes and coats.

“This collection celebrates the colour black in all its guises, but more importantly serves as a tribute to the signature style of our brand. I have tried to highlight the simplicity of the colour black by using over 30 different textured black fabrics so that nothing appears flat and boring,” designer Ashish Soni said in a statement.

Soni added, “All the fabrics are either in tone on tone-engineered jacquards or have been hand worked upon so as to create a 3 dimensional look. Even the embellishments have been done in order to stay true to the purity of theme. The textures highlight the sumptuousness of the fabrics presenting a collection that pursues the inherent strengths of the brand and proves that the works are true to my core design aesthetics.

Ashish Soni launched his label in 1991, followed by his own independent design studio Ikos Designs in 1993.

The designer label is available throughout the country, starting from Carma in New Delhi; Ensemble, Vama and Pyramids in Mumbai; Ffolio in Bangalore and Madras to Ogaan in Kolkata. His creations are also available overseas at Fasateen in Dubai, Beams in Japan; Penelope in Italy; Tsum in Russia and Villa Moda in Kuwait.
