Think of winter layering and what comes to our mind are cardigans, overcoats, jumpers and ponchos. But there are more to winter dressing than just these basic elements of clothing. Designers are now coming with innovative sweaters and knitted pants that will keep us warm in style. A lot of labels are creating wearable art which makes you look worth a million bucks. Yash Patil, who owns a label called That Antiquepiece is designing beautiful and timeless pieces from any object that interests him. He is blurring the lines between art and fashion. Meghana Kiran is reimaging knits like no one else and she is questioning the conventions of traditional menswear with her design. The colourful knitwork on all her pieces are beyond surreal. In our special edit, we showcase the work of these two exceptionally talented designers through a shoot. Take a look.
