This literally feels like family,” Amit Aggarwal says about the making of Pedesis, a collection that celebrates 10 years of his eponymous brand, putting the queer front and centre, both on stage and behind the scenes. “It’s a gift to be presenting a show that represents our family, our voices, alongside the clothes,” the couturier adds.

Held last weekend in New Delhi, the show felt like a love letter to individuality, camp and performance. The selection of models was on point; so interchangeable in their looks that they became a grand, genderless blur. Among the cast of familiar faces were drag artists Rani-KoHEnur (Sushant Divgikr), Betta Naan Stop (Prateek Sachdeva), Sushiru (Sushiel Yaikhom) and Glorious Luna (Suruj Rajkhowa). The makeup team was led by queer artist Kaaji Rai aka Diva Rose, and Daman Chaudhary, backstage coordinator.
