There was an apparent shift in his personal fashion syllabus with his last collection that saw some daring work wear options. Structure Breathes Drape was the theme this time, and the media were dished outu00a0 two sheets of blank paper for a press release, as if to cleanse us of memories and prejudices.
Masculine fabrics, mostly wool, pinstripes and checks were mixed with sensual satin to create over-exaggerated collars and sleeves stitched over dresses and tops for women, and Safari jackets and shirts for men. The illusion of separates was created using 3D techniques, and varying buttons and zipper details.
He sprung an element of surprise with the asymmetrical placing of front buttons. Tail coats varied from hip to ankle length. He broke the stiffness of shoulder details on men's jackets by simply folding them over to create fine points.
Arjun wrapped it up by presenting a few semi-couture pieces: gowns for women, and ponchos for men, using satin and tousled wool, setting a favourable mood for a Spring/Summer 2010 line.
