I could see Gautam Singhania’s passion for perfection and artistic excellence reflected in the collection.”
The Chairman’s Collection represents a harmonious blend of heritage and modernity. Seamlessly curated from Raymond Ready-to-Wear, Park Avenue, and Ethnix by Raymond, the collection showcases an exquisite array of items, including pure silk shirts adorned with intricate gold and silver embroidery, regal bandhgalas inspired by Baroque and Renaissance artistry, and finely crafted tuxedos that embody timeless elegance. The use of opulent velvets in deep jewel tones, exquisite Zari embellishments, and sculpted silhouettes positions this collection as a benchmark in power dressing for the contemporary gentleman.
As the evening concluded, attendees left with a profound appreciation for Raymond’s dedicated craftsmanship and the premiere of a collection that seamlessly merges heritage with modern sophistication.
