Designer Siddhartha Tytler’s new collection, Asphalt Jungle, that just got unveiled at the FDCI India Men’s Weekend, is inspired by the raw energy and unfiltered spirit of New York City. “Asphalt Jungle is a tribute to urban resilience, where gothic grunge meets precision tailoring. This collection captures the dynamic tension between structure and movement, drawing from the world of parkour-fluid yet controlled, rebellious yet refined,” says Tytler.
The colour palette is moody and intense, with deep blacks, teals and navies evoking the city’s steel, shadows, and neon reflections. Silhouettes embrace contrast with a mix of structured tailored suits softened with drapes, oversized jumpers exuding effortless edge, and hakama pants lending an avant-garde fluidity. Cable knits add a layer of textured warmth to the range, bridging the gap between modernity and tradition.
What really defines the edit are surface embellishments that elevate the collection to a realm of dark opulence. Applique details, shimmering sequin, and crystal work illuminates the silhouettes mimicking the city’s skyline at night, while ruffles disrupt the sharp lines with a sense of controlled chaos. Every detail is a balance of power and ease, designed for those who navigate the urban landscape with defiance and style.
In short, Asphalt Jungle is more than a fashion statement and aims at igniting a movement, and redefines the manifesto for a modern rebel.
