Deepit Chugh’s latest collection draws from Mumbai’s urban architecture
Designer Deepit Chugh’s bespoke label Line Out Line’s new edit, Chapter 8, looked at the city as something lived in, not just built for its showcase at the recently concluded FDCI x Lakme Fashion Week in Mumbai. Known for crafting contemporary, unisex creations, Deepit derives inspiration from focusing on how people move through urban spaces, how clothes bend, shift, and change through long days, crowded streets, and moments of stillness in between.
Deepit Chugh’s Line Out Line turns Mumbai into wearable design
The collection examines everyday moments through the lens of anonymity and movement. The silhouettes take cues from architecture and infrastructure in the form of straight lines, layered structures, and repeating grids. While surface treatments like denim washing, raw edges and laser cutting reflect time and use. The reflection of time is also reminiscent of overexposed imagery and worn textures. These are buildings that carry weight and emotion. Deepit has used cotton for its comfort and durability. Raw edges and patchwork allow garments to feel open and unfinished, while modular elements introduce adaptability. All the pieces can be layered, removed, or reconfigured as needed. Deepit takes us through the same.
What inspires your new collection?
Chapter 8 draws from Mumbai’s urban infrastructure, its grids, scaffolding, and constant motion. The palette stays grounded in indigo, washed blues, greys, and muted neutrals. We’ve worked with structured denim, lightweight cottons, and textured blends, using raw edges, panelling, and layered constructions. Silhouettes are relaxed yet architectural and boxy shirts, elongated jackets, and modular separates. There’s a balance between structure and fluidity, mirroring urban life.
What inspires your designs?
Architecture, cities, and lived experiences. Growing up across different cities shaped how I see clothing. Clothing for me is something that responds to space, movement, and environment.
