concept

*When I was a child, I spoke like a child, I understood like a child, I thought like a child. But when I became a man, I put childish things away" (1 Corinthians 13:11). This statement may mean growing up for many, but for Ankur it is the sheer creativity he felt he had as a child that was lost when he grew up. He therefore based his collection on an imaginary kid named Anand (meaning "Fun") who always looks for surreal interpretations of everyday life, making the simplest things incredibly adventurous and funny. In this playful storytelling Ankur imbued his own Indian roots and culture.
