Lost in the Urban Maze by CUE
The city is a distillation of cultures, people and tastes, to create an urban structure unlike any other.
Amongst the bright lights lies the lure of an elevated existence, Controlled manias, diverse perceptions and splintered points of view, all find incarnation in the Grid City
Cue by Rohit Gandhi and Rahul Khanna uses this very modern phenomenon as the touchstone for their latest collection.
Geometric precision and hidden secrets, all find physical resonance in this very chic collection. Structured lines, modulated fittings, clever twists are the silhouettes that the collection comprises of. It looks at visual language from various points of view.
Eclectic blues, Washed lime, shades of Chocolate, Luxurious Maroons, Anthracite along with oxidized embellishments come alive with accents of green. While the extensive use of check patterns on garments mimics the grid pattern lines that demarcate the very soul of this urban existence. Grids, that form the very foundation of the monolithic structures of the modern urban sprawl.
The collection echoes the glossy denizens of the megapolis. It presents design in high sheen and of careful form. Overt chicness is pared to an extreme; the creative design presented thus, is an embodiment of ice-cold refinement. The adorner is at the top of their game, confident, sleek and most importantly individualistic. An individual, who is conscious of his/her desires and even more conscious of the single-minded determination with which they intend to satiate these innate yearnings. Individualism that is so easily lost in the busy micro lives of the multiple layers of existences that become part and parcel of the modern jungle.
