Amit Aggarwal Showcases DNA-Inspired Arcanum Collection At India Couture Week
Amit Aggarwal one name associated with futuristic design and architectural silhouettes once again made it impossible to predict a conventional couture challenging the norm at the India Couture Week 2025. His newest line, “Arcanum,” became one of the most soulful explorations of the very code-of-life of organisms, DNA: the runway was turned into a hypnotic circuit of science and symbolism massively combined with high fashion. The vision of Aggarwal was something more than just clothes, it was a reflection on existence, identity, and changes, placed within the cellular structure of life itself, which is defined by the microscope.
Birth of Arcanum:A Blueprint of Biology
Arcanum goes deep into understanding the idea of DNA as the original text of the body, the code of memory that is kept constantly written. Aggarwal was inspired by what she called, the language of the body, namely, by the patterns of the way cells split, how phenomena develop, and how the living energy exists underneath the skin. Every single piece of clothing became nearly a living body, a carved figure where a metaphor stood in contact with molecular design. The biological blueprint was embodied into a range which featured a sharp edge between balance and deformation, order and freewill, nature and evolution so characteristic of biological existence itself.
A Five-Chapter Story of Life
Formatted as a sacred procession, Arcanum was a vigorous writing in five thrilling chapters, where the author described the main parts as a kind of the origin, a blossom, a pulse, a mutation, and the memory. Cocoon-like structures made of handwoven nylon and organic cotton, in a form of primitive shapes, opened the show named Origin. The awakening of the genetic identity was echoed in micro-pleated textures, Aggarwal trademark polymers, and luminous colors that represented growth and expanding, which was called by Bloom. Through pulse, clothing became alive as it appeared to be dancing by itself and created the sense of kinetic energy.
The name of the chapter is written in these words The chapter Related “Mutation”, which reflects the fact that this pool of designs did not show signs of elegant perfection and dramatic transformations intentionally was a response to the culture of fashion that clings to the surfaces of flawless finishes. At last, the collection elegantly finished with the appearance of Ikat again in the memory song called Memory.
Aggarwal recontextualized this centuries old dyeing technique, not as a textile in heritage, but as a language of encoded emotion, a vessel of cultural memory. “That emotional undercurrent is everything to me,” Aggarwal expressed, further stating he wanted every collection to be something primal and visceral.
The Signature Aggarwal Aesthetic, Evolved-
“Arcanum” offered a different thematic direction, but still toed the line of Aggarwal’s recognizable aesthetic. His clever recycled industrial polymers, repurposed textiles, and complex structuring were all present, but the whole collection was given life through the biological narrative that lay underneath. The collection’s sculpted looks, exaggerated silhouettes, and detailed surfaces illuminated like cosmic formations created an other worldly, and surreal dreamlike landscape that drifted the audience into a dystopian fashion show.

Amit Aggarwal’s “Arcanum” presented at India Couture Week 2025 was beyond the traditional confines of a fashion show; it was a multi sensory exploration and philosophical investigation into what it means to “be” which conceptualized in stunning couture. It solidified him as a designer who pushes the boundaries between science, art, and emotion, and allows the audience to consider the complex thread between our internal, bio-synthotic world, with the garments we wear and how we live.
