“Green” by Lecoanet Hemant

At the recent Wills India Fashion Week in New Delhi, India, Lecoanet Hemant unveiled the 2010 spring/summer collection entitled “Green.”

Adhering to the label’s longstanding eco-friendly values, the “natural chic” collection provides an earthy feel with nature-inspired designs.

Organic fabrics of poplin, khadi, and silk all drape together like streams of water flowing over earthy surfaces. The metal mesh creates an effect of luscious minerals.

“What you wrap around your body is what you wrap around your soul–this collection is a reflection of our green philosophy and our deepest belief that eco-friendly and luxury marry well together” says designer Hemant Sagar.

Lecoanet Hemant was founded 1978 in Paris by Indian-born designer Hemant Sagar and French partner Didier Lecoanet.

Lecoanet Hemant: a Trilogy of Franco-Indian Couture

India-born designer Hemant Segar, who is of German descent, and French partner Didier Lecoanet launched their fashion careers in Paris where they perfected the art of atelier fashion, later moving to India where they continue to design innovative, hi-tech collections of menswear.

At the recent Lakme Fashion Week in Mumbai, India, Lecoanet Hemant presented their 2009 autumn/winter collection entitled “Re-Love-ution,” which, in fact was a trio of menswear: a bullet-proof “Shield” line, an “Ayurganic” synthetic-free collection treated in oils and herbs, and a dramatic finale of formal wear.
