In Japanese, certain words carry a deep meaning to them. By and large, they convey feelings and abstract concepts in single words. They can even inspire the way you live your life, case in point: Ikigai, Kintsugi, and Wabi–Sabi. Another word ‘Asuka’, meaning a pleasant fragrance, is often associated with good times to come. Its definition is just as comforting to the mind as pleasant it is on the ears. Likewise, Asuka couture finds itself named aptly.
Representing a visual identity that is rooted in heritage, the designer label vows to take this sartorial legacy to the future. With a penchant for exclusively creating menswear, Asuka’s multifaceted approach presents a wide variety of ethnic and Western styles. Created for the modern man, the Delhi label has a 35-year-old history behind it and a pedigree for excellence.
Asuka’s Ode to Heritage
Keeping Indian Karigari at its core, every creation from the brand highlights an unwavering commitment to impeccable quality. Incorporating a human touch at every step of the process of creating an apparel, Asuka doesn’t miss a beat. The label’s collection features ethnic wear necessities such as Kurtas, Bundi Sets, and Sherwanis, alongside Western counterparts. These offerings also extend to accessories that complete and complement outfits just as easily.
Adamant about adhering to legacy, Asuka’s traditional wear displays fine embroidery that is as authentic as it gets. Viraasat, as it likes to call the offering, is not just a play on words but rather symbolic of commitment. Featuring zardozi, cutdana, mirrorwork, and Swarovski crystal work, the ethnic collection is a decadent presentation of artisanal capabilities. Meanwhile, the contemporary style showcase carries significant firepower. Tuxedos, Shirts, Suit Sets – all modern silhouettes that are enhanced with breathtaking traditional embroideries.
