Paris, New Delhi: From Haute Couture to the Technologies of Elegance’ Lecoanet Hemant narrate their fashion journey with a first of a kind exhibition

Established as a couture house in the eighties, Lecoanet Hemant initially worked from Paris with a flagship store in the heart of the aristocratic Rue du Faubourg Saint-Honoré, (considered the Paris Mecca of luxury fashion and Haute Couture) and featured on the couture schedule.Being members of the Parisian Haute Couture Syndicate from 1984-2000, Lecoanet Hemant created 33 collections with the ultimate aim of transitioning from artisanal to semi-industrial. In 2000, the multi-award winning designers behind the brand – Hemant Sagar and Didier Lecoanet – moved their business metaphorically from couture to ready-to-wear, and also physically, from Paris to New Delhi. The journey of the brand is the theme of an exhibition ‘Paris, New Delhi: From Haute Couture to the Technologies of Elegance’ held at Bikaner House, New Delhi through display of their work.
