“Having completed one year in this enriching journey, S&N with much gusto now presents, #SNSafari a collection that reinforces the celebratory and blithe spirit of the brand,” say brothers Shantanu and Nikhil. Signature S&N attributes like offbeat details, bold drapes against minimalistic silhouettes and the oomph of contemporary India are all reinstated in #SNSafari.

“The post-pandemic landscape has left us reimagining newer ways to collaborate within the industry. We, for one, believe that fraternity collaboration is the future and what better than the fraternity’s two gigantic players like the FDCI & LFW coming together for a unique phygital fashion week. This not only sets a precedent for the fashion weeks to come, but opens up the market to newer and better opportunities,” say the designers.
