The Raga By Titan Debut With Top Designers Pankaj & Nidhi at LFW

Raga by Titan made an impressive debut with top designers Pankaj and Nidhi, which was a heady mix of arm candy and glamorous silhouettes at Lakmé Fashion Week in partnership with FDCI.

 The Raga by Titan “Power Pearls Collection” was all about the innovative use of classic mother of pearls as they stylishly danced in the skeletal case designs encased by elegant bezels on the wrists of stylish women. This very innovative design direction was a daring departure from traditions. The twelve design timepieces offered a unique concept of combining circular and semi-circular links in the mother of pearls and metal that gave the range an ethereal, aesthetic appeal. 

 The metal components of the strap were intricately embossed with a dotted finish, while the bracelets offered a choice of delicate bands and mosaic patterned mother of pearls designs. The latest “Power Pearls Collection” set high standards of creativity and style for women’s watches that not only emphasised the dials but were creatively integrated into the straps. The Raga by Titan “Power Pearls Collection” was aimed at women who are not only fashionably versatile but desire to elevate their sartorial entry for formal soirées and galas during the festive season.

 There was a melodious harmony of fusion styles between the Raga by Titan “Power Pearls Collection”, which has been in the forefront of the evolving fashion scene and the Pankaj and Nidhi style statements. The timepieces and the designers’ silhouettes beautifully complemented each other, thereby presenting a delicate but powerful, enduring look for the contemporary woman who embraces her individuality.

 THE XV COLLECTION

 Celebrating 15 glorious years of creative excellence in the Indian fashion industry, Pankaj and Nidhi, winners of several awards globally, unveiled their quaintly titled “XV” line, which drew its inspirations from the dashing Spanish toreros’ costumes. Each piece of the “XV” collection - a limited edition offering - was inspired by the ceremonial Spanish ‘traje de luces’ attire of the colourful bull fighters.

 It was a grand Olé to the latest line that stayed firmly on the black and ivory path with muted accents of gold. The filtered, monochromatic visuals were embellished with intricate adornments that were texturally rich in craft. The inlaid appliqués were exquisite, while the tricky lattice work added a touch of mystery. The intricate quilting, pixelated flowers and the pearlesque cord work, further added to the drama of the ensembles that took the concept of surface ornamentation to a higher level.

 The key design elements were classic, tailored jackets teamed with 3-buttoned, collar, white dress shirts, while impressive extended shoulders and dramatic, sparkling, giant lapels kept the inspiration in firm focus. Adding a feminine element to the creations were long, tantalising fringes that accentuated the designs. There was an unconventional addition of tuxedo yokes and embellished harnesses, which incorporated a flamboyant flavour to the very formal wear look. The use of wool, silk taffeta and double knits brought the apparel to life with a distinct touch of vintage masculinity.

 Dia Mirza, the effervescent beauty, who is not only a woman of substance but one who exudes confidence and grace, was the ideal choice as showstopper for the Raga by Titan “Power Pearls Collection” as she glided down the runway in a stunning creation by designers Pankaj and Nidhi.

 Speaking on the occasion, Kalpana Rangamani, Chief Sales and Marketing Officer, Titan Watches, “We're absolutely ecstatic about our debut at Lakme Fashion Week in partnership with FDCI. Unveiling the Power Pearls collection during this prestigious event opens up remarkable opportunities to enhance our exposure and reach.

 Commenting on the showstopper, she added, “Dia Mirza's presence as the showstopper was the perfect culmination of this remarkable event.

 Pankaj & Nidhi commented, “We were thrilled to collaborate with Titan Raga, celebrating fifteen years of our remarkable journey in the world of fashion. Our XV collection, brings you a monochromatic vision, a fusion of timeless elegance and modern power dressing. Crafted with precision and inspired by ceremonial uniforms, each limited edition piece embodies the essence of chic and sophistication. This collaboration speaks to the bold, confident, and expressive woman, offering statement workwear and contemporary chic that is both glamorous and mature. It is a confident journey into the world of fashion where black and ivory meet muted gold, where antiquity meets modernity”.

 The “XV” glam look unveiled by Pankaj and Nidhi channelled power dressing at its best, as well as a touch of contemporary grace and was a perfect amalgamation with the Raga by Titan “Power Pearls Collection”, which balanced the showcase with its essence of strength, elegance and femininity.
