Team ChicLifeByte was recently invited to Delhi Club House for the launch of Platinoir by Mehak & Ashish, being new in the industry, we were honestly not expecting something great…but when we saw the collection we were in for a surprise. The place was buzzing with mannequins wearing sequins on pastels which made for the perfect Spring Summer outfits. It wasn’t just the outfits, it was the whole look- even shoes to go with the outfits!!

The brand was actually launched three months back through a soft launch for family and friends. Platinoir is designed for the coolest girl in the room who can pull off a chic yet glamorous outfit, it’s for someone who is fashion-forward and has no inhibitions. The designs are a combination of individuality, classy and urban essence with comfort and versatility. The SS’16 collection could easily be confused for couture, for the drapery and intricate embellishments and appliqués are just short of a dream – design and craftsmanship both inextricably intertwined.

Team ChicLifeByte caught up with Mehak & Ashish who were dressed for the occasion and sat with them for a candid chat. They mentioned that “Platinoir is a brainchild of exposure & expertise from the international market”. The idea actually seeped in through E-commerce boom when they realized E-commerce sells very basic stuff which are not really high in quality that too at an exorbitant pricing. Markets are changing, people want to spend less and don’t want to repeat clothes. That’s when the idea of affordable luxury sweeped in!
