Shivan and Narresh’s holiday attires are a bold and exquisite intersection of culture and couture
To some, a holiday might just be an escapade from the mundane life, but with Shivan and Narresh there is an art to vacationing. It’s true that in the digital realm, swimwear, and resort wear options stretch as far as we can scroll, but finding something that strikes the right balance between luxury and boldness is a rare occurrence, and finding couture and swimwear in the same sentence is even rarer. An antidote to those endless tabs you may have open, statement trikinis and bikinis, playful rompers, and swim trunks are a hallmark of Shivan & Narresh. From there on, the label expands to a multitude of outfits and accessories that cater to destination weddings, and honeymoon getaways, defining a modern wardrobe for holiday connoisseurs. Clearly, for the globe-trotters at heart, holiday wear has a permanent address.
Helmed by Shivan Bhatia and Narresh Kukreja, christened ‘bikini boys’, Shivan & Narresh is reimagining swimwear into the mainstream fashion of India. In a country almost foreign to chic beachwear ensembles, the label lends flawless lines and an undisputed eye for detail to Italian jerseys, neoprenes, and several other swim-centric materials. They take a different route from their commercial aesthetics and gracefully assert as couture pieces. With an emphasis on millennials and their ever-evolving ideologies, the brand gives a sophisticated solution to holiday wear - transforming the traditional perceptions of luxury and making it about unforgettable experiences instead.
Shivan & Narresh catapulted into the spotlight at the 2008 Cannes with their stitch-free swimwear lines, where seams were pasted and their distinct color-blocking aesthetics caught the eyes of many. From that pivotal moment onwards, the label’s innovative journey has evolved into its signature eclectic prints for categories such as resort wear and festive wear for men and women, including lifestyle accessories and homeware collections.
From luxe bathing suits to bridal attire, every Shivan & Narresh piece embodies a uniquely contemporary vision whilst preserving the traditional heritage and emotional connection with its patrons. With a similar sensibility, the label expands into accessories: such as bags, belts, footwear, pocket squares, and many more - that make for ideal travel companions and carry a bold statement for your holiday look. The label’s color palette and prints - casting a glow on the Indian culture -carry a limelight of their own. Rich spice tones, nuances from Indian paintings and frescos, and even derivations from pop culture onto a pristine white canvas consistently define Shivan and Narresh ensembles.
Building an impenetrable universe of their own, Shivan & Narresh effortlessly dabble in dichotomy, drawing artistic elements from several facets of the Indian culture and infusing them with modern and sharp cuts, bold usage of color on signature prints & technologically advanced fabrics with impeccable finishing.
