The art of the unwind: Holiday hacks and memories with Shivan & Narresh

Think of Delhi designers Shivan Bhatiya and Narresh Kukreja as young India’s favourite beach boys. In a market blinded by shiny, embellished bridalwear, their resortwear label, Shivan & Narresh, has set fashion goals for women vacationing along the coast, by the pool, on a cruise and every sunny spot where they can let their hair down. The swimsuits carry unique prints and bold colours, beads and jewels. The ensembles draw inspiration from their travel adventures, art and artists. It’s sexy, flirty, whimsical work that somehow manages to keep the right curves reined in. It’s geared towards millennials and Gen-Zs, Kukreja says. It’s safe to say they know a thing or two about acing a vacation.
