Kartik Research held his second runway on the first day of PFWSS25.

Dubbed as Delhi’s Dreaming, Kartik Kumra continues to pay homage to Traditional Indian Craftsmanship.
From patterned and sequinned workwear jackets to blazers with hand-embroidered ornaments, and patchwork denim, the 24 looks of the collection are crafted out of fabrics that are created by Indian craftsmen specifically for Kartik.

Kartik Research shows a different side of Artisanal fashion, where everyday necessities and casual sportswear with elevated tailoring and cultural traditions play the dance. As you often see that artisanal designers take inspiration from the past, it’s refreshing to see an artisanal designer play with more contemporary aesthetics.

We captured the show through the lens of our photographer Ruben Hilkens, highlighting the vintage atmosphere.
