As our social media team put it, “Whatever had to happen, happened this weekend.” Whether it was RosalĂ­a’s BRIT Awards performance that I’m still watching on loop, Kate Moss showing up on the Gucci runway, or Zendaya and Tom Holland’s alleged marriage, by Sunday night I was sick of my phone yet unable to put it down because that’s when Björk appeared on stage wearing Amit Aggarwal couture. The blue sculptural piece was typical of the designer—both geometric and organic, futuristic and craft-forward—and she paired it with a fringed headpiece and a dramatic winged eye. So many pop divas love our Indian designers for those glamorous onstage moments—from BeyoncĂ© in Manish Malhotra chaps to Cardi B in Gaurav Gupta or Shakira in custom Anamika Khanna—so it was about time that Aggarwal’s cerebral creations had their moment. The designer is ready to relaunch his ready-to-wear line, AM.IT, this year, so even if you don’t want to wear an alien-esque gown (or his equally otherworldly Indian bridalwear) know that you can soon get something more wearable soon. To know more about the designer, check out The Nod's interview with him.
