In a continuation of what some are calling an ‘acquisition and collaboration spree’, luxury fashion house, Purple Style Labs (PSL) is now privileged to join hands with veteran fashion designer, Hemant Trivedi. PSL has recently secured all rights in the ‘Hemant Trevedi’ brand and have brought the designer himself on board. Trivedi will act as creative-head of the Hemant Trivedi business vertical, a part of PSL’s portfolio of brands.

Speaking on the collaboration with PSL, Hemant says, “it is indeed heartening when a team of young focussed professionals recognise, respect and value my contribution to the growth of India’s fashion industry from its very inception. I feel honoured and equally excited to become a part of the PSL family. My upcoming collections under the PSL umbrella will be true to my signature beliefs of creating fashion that is timeless, elegant and refined. Inspired by the changing times these ensembles will hopefully become a catalyst for a new design awareness  for the fashion-conscious consumer of today.”

Abhishek Agarwal, Director & CEO – PSL, adds, “There’s a question that has often been asked at several occasions over the past decades which was also posed to me a few months ago – ‘where does one go to buy a Hemant Trivedi creation’? I am now happy to have the answer to that question and even happier that the answer will come from within PSL! With Hemant, we not only look forward to tapping into his creative mind and legacy but also to unearth the endless possibilities of what this collaboration may offer and bring to the fashion industry at large.”

Hemant Trivedi has been a household name in the Indian fashion industry since the early-80s. India’s first internationally qualified fashion designer, Hemant is an alumnus of the Australian Technical Institute of Fashion Design in Perth and the Fashion Institute of Technology, New York.
