Sunday evening was high on fashion as Archana Kochhar marked her debut into menswear. She gave a sneak preview of her first men’s line ‘Barcode – the Resort Collection’ at her designer store in Juhu. The collection is set to scorch the ramp at the upcoming Kingfisher Ultra Kochi International Fashion Week (Kingfisher Ultra KIFW), scheduled to be held from April 07 – 10, 2012.
‘Barcode’ is a summer collection inspired by the stripes and checks of the barcode, and it lavishly celebrates ivory and ebony in its linear best. The look is kept very relaxed and casual, with shirts left unbuttoned and collar standing high, sleeves rolled, teamed up with cropped pants and beach shorts. Bold black and ethereal white gets a splash of bright electric neon to create a sense of peppy fun that provides a lively alternative to crisp and sleek styling. Suitable for the beach resort or the bar, it is ideal for those who want to sit back and relax with style in this summer heat.
The evening which was hosted by Kingfisher Ultra and Lavazza Coffee saw a perfect confluence of music, fashion and glamour. Raising a toast to fashion were the glitterati and glamourati of the city viz Krushika Lulla, Shawar Ali, Zulfi Syed, Arjan Bajwa, Priyanka Shah, Lakshmi Rai, Vinod Pandey, Tanvi Vyas, Shriya Kishore and many more.
A delighted Archana Kochhar said “I am very happy to be associated with the Kingfisher Ultra Kochi International Fashion Week and this is the first time that I am showcasing my range of high summer men’s wear resort collection called “Barcode”. It is altogether a different platform and I am looking forward to presenting Archana Kochhar for Copperstone for the first time in the beautiful city of Kochi”.
