Through their ongoing partnership, Reliance Industries Limited's R|Elan Fabrics 2.0 and Lakmē Fashion Week x FDCI have consistently presented pathbreaking shows, featuring renowned designers that have captivated audiences worldwide.
This season, R|Elan announces its collaboration with ready-to-wear homegrown label HUEMN for a unique collection to be showcased at Lakmē Fashion Week x FDCI on 11th October 2024 at The Grand Hotel, New Delhi.
The R|Elan x HUEMN collection will merge HUEMN's distinctive design ethos with R|Elan's state-of-the-art fabric technology, combining creativity and innovation in an extraordinary showcase.
Commenting on the collaboration, Hemant D. Sharma, Sector Head – Polyester, Reliance Industries, said: "Founded on the principles of inclusivity and empowerment, HUEMN constantly navigates the shifting social landscape, unlocking new perspectives through each collaboration and pushing the boundaries of design. At the core of HUEMN’s vision is the power of the human mind, which shapes culture and communities. This collaboration is a perfect example of how R|Elan’s advanced fabric technology’s performance and sustainability creates a one of a kind experience.”
As part of the collaboration, HUEMN will embrace eco-friendly fabrics like R|Elan GreenGold, made from recycled PET bottles, and R|Elan Kooltex, combining style with sustainability. By further integrating ethical practices into its design philosophy, HUEMN aims to reduce textile waste further, while enhancing garment performance. The upcoming collection will showcase HUEMN's signature elements—hand-drawn prints, bold statement pieces, inclusive fits, and meticulously handcrafted textures and surfaces. Handcrafted embroideries that pay tribute to traditional Indian craftsmanship will be an integral part of this showcase.
A standout feature of this collection is its pioneering fabric innovation, where advanced materials and intricate textures come together to create garments that elevate the visual and tactile experience. The pieces offer a blend of style, sustainability, and comfort with a finish that enhances both form and function.
Sharing his thoughts on the collaboration, Pranav Misra, Co-Founder and Creative Director of HUEMN, said: "At HUEMN, our goal is to create a dialogue that resonates beyond fashion—connecting with people on a deeper level, and reflecting the times we live in. With R|Elan we had yet another opportunity to push the envelope in terms of both design and sustainability, creating pieces that are as responsible as they are relevant. The HUEMN X R-Elan collaboration is a dynamic union of creative vision and technological innovation. It is poised to inspire consumers to rethink fashion.”
