Body Language, Abraham & Thakore’s collection showcased at the recent FDCI x Lakmé Fashion Week served as a necessary reminder that very little in fashion is new, nor is it supposed to be. “We are not airy-fairy; we like to have some solidity,” creative director at A&T, David Abraham says during a post-show chat with mid-day.  

He and Rakesh Thakore, graduates of the National Institute of Design, established the fashion and textiles label in 1992. Contemporary designers give us trends and hanger appeal. A&T have reset the dial in the way their customers dress by consistently offering excitement that needs to be experienced not on the racks but on bodies in motion.
