Two Point Two by Anvika Sharma

Two Point Two by Anvita Sharma

It is easy to obsess over the perceptiveness and subtle wit of a Two Point Two collection: it is where the generic meets the sublime, the commercial makes peace with the experimental, and the past confronts the future. Anvita Sharma, the label’s designer, sought to unpack the notion of genderless fashion at the moment the Indian fashion industry is blinded by big shiny names and lehengas with their big buck investments. Sharma’s collection titled A Warrior’s Journey said sod-off, but with such exquisite barb that you had to sit up and notice. That the models wore shades that were almost blinded by scribbled floral print screens, should have been our first cue.

The core inspiration was the Shu Ha Ri philosophy of Japanese martial arts, and also Japanese streetwear culture, which were then translated into wearable streetwear staples; boxy denim jeans, jackets and tracksuits, roomy hoodies with bulging pocket details and puffa co-ords. Rather than discounting gender in fashion, taking away all the gender constructs, the designer played with them. Juxtaposing motifs traditionally worn by a man (Samurai warriors and impassioned faces of Kabuki dance theatre performers) or a woman (floral prints) while repurposing standout Madras checks along the way, Sharma gave us a freedom-for-all, do-what-you-please individual dressing option in a winking, witty way.
