The contemporary menswear label explores the idea of “evolving luxury” through craftsmanship, material innovation and a curated fashion experience.

Bangalore:

 House of Aldeno, the contemporary menswear label by CIEL Textile, unveiled its latest collection through an immersive showcase in Bengaluru, bringing together fashion, art, music and storytelling to present its evolving vision of modern luxury.

Rather than approaching the collection as a conventional runway presentation, House of Aldeno created a six-part experience that moved through distinct moods, materials and expressions of menswear. Each sequence was introduced through an abstract visual representation that established its mood before the models entered the runway, creating a continuous narrative across the presentation.

At the heart of the showcase was House of Aldeno’s philosophy of “evolving luxury”, a perspective that moves beyond traditional definitions of luxury to focus on craftsmanship, product excellence, individuality and an ability to respond to the changing aspirations of the contemporary consumer.

The evening opened with an artistic installation, with a six-by-four-foot abstract artwork being created live as guests arrived, accompanied by a live violin performance. The artwork gradually came together through the course of the evening, setting the tone for the collection and its presentation.

The showcase brought together senior leadership from CIEL Group and CIEL Textile, including Mr. Guillaume Dalais, CEO of CIEL Group, and Mr. Eric Dorchies, CEO of CIEL Textile. Their presence underscored the larger vision behind House of Aldeno and its evolution from CIEL Textile’s extensive manufacturing expertise into a brand-led expression of product, craftsmanship and contemporary luxury

The showcase was curated by Mr. Prasad Bidappa alongside Mr. Rajesh Kumar, CEO of the Woven Cluster at CIEL Textile, bringing together the various elements of the evening into a cohesive experience.

The collection itself unfolded across six distinct sequences, beginning with an exploration of tonal whites and layering, followed by Eversharp, denim, linen and relaxed layering, before culminating in a more polished After Dark edit. Together, the sequences reflected House of Aldeno’s approach to contemporary menswear, understated, considered and rooted in the relationship between fabric, function and form.

Among the collection’s key material stories was linen, which represents approximately 40% of the collection. Another highlight was Quatroflex, a fabric engineered for flexibility and all-weather wear, reflecting the brand’s emphasis on combining technical innovation with refined design.

The presentation also highlighted Eversharp, House of Aldeno’s crisp cotton shirting proposition, developed through a specialised treatment that gives the fabric its distinctive finish while reducing the need for frequent ironing.

Speaking at the showcase, Mr. Rajesh Kumar said ”Aldeno is no longer just an idea. We have now been serving consumers for almost five years. And that journey has given us something extremely important, confidence. What you see is not simply a collection. It is a young brand beginning to tell the world who it wants to be.”

With its latest collection, House of Aldeno continues to build its interpretation of evolving luxury, one that places the product and its craftsmanship at the centre while remaining open to the changing cultural and creative landscape around it.

Singapore:

Indian designer Prasad Bidapa wants India’s hand-made khadi and handlooms recognised globally, saying that there are immense opportunities for foreign stylists to work with thousands of weavers across the country.


“We want to expose Indian textiles to the world and show every designer that they can come to India, work directly with the artisans and create something very original,” Bidapa told PTI after the show “Handlooms@75: Celebrating the Fabric of Freedom” here.


The designer urged truly conscious designers to work with Indian weavers at the grassroots level and help them create something new and fresh. “Something that the world has not seen before.”


“Prime Minister Narendra Modi has been a wonderful support. He wears so much khadi and handlooms that he has had the spotlight trained on the clothing,” said the designer after hosting the fashion show in Singapore on Saturday.


“We have thousands of artisans working on Khadi and handlooms skilled in block print, leheriya dyeing,” said Bidapa, adding that there were immense opportunities for foreign designers to work with thousands of weavers in India.


“We are trying to sensitise young people all over the world, trying to get them to understand the beauty of the handmade textile,” the designer stressed.


The designer also called on the Prime Minister’s Office to include skills of the hands, weaving, printing and dyeing in the national skilling programme.


Bidapa highlighted how Japanese fashion designer Issey Miyake created the label “HAAT” — all of which uses Indian Khadi.


The Saturday exhibition was held at the invitation of the Indian High Commissioner in Singapore, P Kumaran, and sponsored by the Global Indian International School, as well as micro, small and medium enterprises (MSMEs) from Karnataka among others.


The Bangalore-based Bidapa has hosted the exhibition in the Middle East and will be travelling with his fashion wears as well as 20 models to Japan and South Korea next. (PTI)
