A Celebration of Time and Craft: Abhishek Sharma brought an unforgettable moment by closing the Grand Finale of India Beach Fashion Week runway with Analog Life, his collaboration with Timex, celebrating the art of slowing down in a fast paced world. The show opened with the rhythmic tick tock of a watch, setting the tone for a collection that paid homage to time itself. At the heart of the runway stood a striking installation crafted from interlinked wristwatches; an artistic symbol of connection, craftsmanship, and continuity.
s live jazz music filled the air, the collection unfolded in layers of texture and tone: from light linens and crushed cottons to glimmering lamé and sculpted silks. Each look reflected the duality of life, tactile yet fluid, grounded yet glamorous. Handcrafted artistry took center stage through Kantha embroidery, beadwork, chiffon surface texturing, and 3D embellishment, creating looks that balanced heritage with modern expression. The color story mirrored the refined palette of Timex timepieces, blending earthy browns, metallic silvers, warm golds, and iridescent holographic tones that shimmered under the lights. Every garment echoed the brand’s philosophy of timeless craftsmanship: merging the precision of watchmaking with the emotion of design.
The show reached its crescendo with Prathamesh Maulingkar walking as the showstopper in a powerful, tailored ensemble that embodied the spirit of Analog Life: sophisticated, confident, and unapologetically present.
