‘indian temples’

Every collection needs a jumping off point for inspiration. The leap for this Spring/Summer collection happened during Joao Paulo’s Indian experience working in the fashion world of New Delhi, India. During the months there, he fearlessly immersed himself in every aspect of the culture.

Using Indian temples as the major inspiration, this luxurious collection has a mix of textures, fabrics and details. Using black and gold as the major colours, this collection is fully balanced with exclusive prints and fabrics made by Joao Paulo Guedes.

While the inspiration and design techniques may have originated during his Indian adventure, the shapes and silhouettes are inspired from Joao Paulo’s vision. They are definitely created for the metropolitan man and represent the new age of masculinity, adventure, individuality and glamour.

India is a pure inspiration.

It all begins with an idea. Joao Paulo Guedes created this collection inspired by his personal trip to India. He spent three months exploring the Indian culture while interning for two of the biggest contemporary designer in Delhi: Shantanu and Nikhil.
