The Fashion Design Council of India (FDCI) presented “The Boys Club,” a dynamic menswear showcase at Lakme Fashion Week x FDCI, Mumbai. The show opened the fashion week on March 19 at the Jio World Convention Centre, featuring Countrymade, Dhruv Vaish, Sahil Aneja and Vivek Karunakaran. 

Countrymade by Sushant Abrol presented "Cenotaph",  inspired by the architecture of memorial cenotaphs, spaces where remembrance takes form. The collection featured faded olives, scorched browns, oxidised bronze and stark black-and-white tones. Techniques such as mud-resist printing, cold pigment dyeing, bronze patina, kantha, raw-edged appliques and coatings that mimicked withered stone suggested the passage of time and erosion.
