A Legacy Cast in Couture. A Cause Beyond Borders.
In a groundbreaking moment for Indian fashion, celebrated designer duo Shantnu & Nikhil made history as the first Indian designers to participate in The Big Egg Hunt at London’s iconic Kew Gardens. Their installation, titled “Valour’s Vessel,” stood as a striking symbol of resilience, remembrance, and renewal, blending their signature military aesthetic with powerful storytelling from their archives.
Crafted as more than just art, the sculptural egg was a tribute—an emblematic fusion of heritage, design, and purpose. With their hallmark approach of turning couture into commentary, Shantnu & Nikhil offered a vision that transcended fashion.
The event, held in collaboration with Elephant Family, Chopard, Clarence_court, and the British Asian Trust, served as a high-profile platform where art met activism—raising awareness for endangered wildlife through creativity and cultural dialogue.
As Shantnu & Nikhil continue to merge fashion with deeper purpose, “Valour’s Vessel” not only stood tall in a London garden—it etched its place in a global conversation where design is activism, and couture becomes a catalyst for change.
