Amit Aggarwal unveiled ANTEVORTA at the 17th Hyundai India Couture Week on July 28, 2024, at Taj Palace, New Delhi. Inspired by Roman Goddess of the Future who is always present at the time of birth, ANTEVORTA symbolizes the timeless connection between time and the universe. The collection intricately weaves together philosophical, mythological, religious, scientific, and cosmological influences into a temporal narrative. 
ANTEVORTA is an exploration of ‘Time’ through five distinct identities experiencing time in each fleeting moment, experiencing time as a one-way sequence, experiencing time as an eternal cycle, experiencing time as a conjurer
and as center of equilibrium. The collection introduces new textiles and techniques, blending them with the brand’s signature style and philosophy to create a truly distinctive narrative.
“Our couture line transcends conventional fashion boundaries, delving into the fundamental essence of humanity. By envisioning time as five distinct yet interconnected entities, we extend our narrative beyond the realm of fashion. ANTEVORTA represents a pivotal moment in our ongoing journey of creative exploration and innovation. We extend our heartfelt gratitude to our partners—Lenskart, Nine West, Lotus Makeup, and Isvari—for their invaluable contributions, which were instrumental in the success of this show.”, says Amit Aggarwal.
ANTEVORTA is an intriguing exploration of the concept of time through five distinct identities, each offering a unique perspective. These identities experience time in diverse ways: from fleeting moments to eternal cycles, from the role of a conjurer to that of a center of equilibrium. This collection introduces innovative textiles and techniques seamlessly integrated with the brand’s distinctive style and philosophy, crafting a narrative that is truly distinctive and thought-provoking. By delving into these varied temporal experiences, ANTEVORTA not only aims to showcase technical innovation but also to evoke deep emotional and philosophical reflection on the nature of time itself.
The new couture line is a continuation of our ethos of conscious creativity, aiming to redefine couture through the lenses of evolution, eternity, emotion, elements, and equilibrium. By intertwining fashion with profound philosophical inquiry, this collection will witness how Amit Aggarwal’s vision transforms these concepts into a captivating visual narrative.
We partnered with like-minded brands to elevate the ANTEVORTA showcase experience to new heights. Lotus Makeup, our show sponsor, infused the event with glamour, while Isvari Jalandhar’s luxurious baubles added a touch of opulence.
