The new Anamika Khanna x H&M collaboration reimagines traditional Indian silhouettes with a fresh, contemporary perspective that brings the designer's take on womenswear, menswear, jewelry and accessories to a global audience. "I've always felt Indian fashion gets lost when interpreted by the rest of the world," said the Indian designer, "Often, our fashion—in terms of the culture, the heritage of craft and textile embroideries—is regarded as costume or not wearable or modern enough."
With vibrant colors, eye-catching patterns and hand-embroidered embellishments, the styles in the collection are effortlessly elegant and wearable. Standouts from the visually striking Anamika Khanna x H&M collab include draped skirts, airy kaftans with asymmetrical or high-low hemlines and silk pajama sets.
