Amit Aggarwal Decodes Couture With DNA-Inspired Arcanum At India Couture Week 2025
On the third day of Hyundai India Couture Week 2025, designer Amit Aggarwal once again pushed the boundaries of couture with his visionary new collection, Arcanum. Known for fusing fashion with philosophy, the designer turned inward this season – delving into the very code of life: DNA.
Arcanum is not just a couture line; it's a conceptual journey through the invisible architecture that defines human existence. Where last year's Antevorta traced the outer dimensions of time, this collection explores its molecular interior – a meditation on the helix of memory, adaptation, and identity. Through five meticulously curated chapters: Origin, Bloom, Pulse, Mutation, and Memory, Amit Aggarwal crafts a story that transcends garments, speaking instead in the language of transformation.
The show was a visual, auditory, and sensory treat. The collection opens with Origin, evoking the stillness before life takes form. Cocoon-like structures made from handwoven nylon and organic cotton wrap the body in a state of dormant potential. Then comes Bloom, where silhouettes unfurl like petals, echoing the awakening of genetic identity. Micro-pleated textures, signature polymers, and luminous colours breathe life into sculpted forms, revealing nature's inherent geometry.
With Pulse, the garments begin to move: literally and metaphorically. Crystal veins and parametric metal details pulse across the body, expressing the interconnectedness of all living systems. This flows into Mutation, where design embraces unpredictability. Symmetry is disrupted, textures clash, and fluidity reigns, capturing the chaotic beauty of evolution and resilience.
The final chapter, Memory, is a quiet crescendo. Drawing inspiration from ikat – an ancient technique where patterns are encoded into the yarn before weaving, Aggarwal reimagines heritage as a sculptural form. Here, tradition meets futurism, and the past lives on not just in fabric but in motion.
Through Arcanum, Amit Aggarwal doesn't just dress the body; he dresses the self in transition. The result is a collection that is deeply emotional, profoundly intelligent, and visually transcendent.

Hulk Hogans cause of death was heart attack, medical examiner says
Clearwater, Jul 31 (AP) Professional wrestler Hulk Hogan died of a heart attack last week, according to a Florida medical examiner's report released Thursday. Hogan, whose real name was Terry Bollea, previously had leukemia and atrial fibrillation, an irregular heart rhythm, the report from the District Six Medical Examiner said. Hogan, 71, was pronounced dead at a hospital less than 90 minutes after medics arrived at his home in Clearwater, Florida to answer a call about a cardiac arrest on the morning of July 24, police said. Hogan was perhaps the biggest star in WWE's long history, known for both his larger-than-life personality and his in-ring exploits. He was the main draw for the first WrestleMania in 1985 and was a fixture for years, facing everyone from Andre The Giant and Randy Savage to The Rock and even WWE co-founder Vince McMahon.
