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.
