B.R.A.T — Born, Raised and Transferred

An autumn/winter collection drawn from a defence-brat childhood in the Indian Air Force — the blue-and-white walls, the camaraderie and rules, and the impermanence of a life spent being transferred from base to base.

Uniform detailing, faux-leather bustiers, photo-printed sheers, and quilting translate those memories into tailored co-ords, jackets, and eveningwear — shown here from concept and flats through to the final runway.
