Besides bespoke and formal wear, Narendra Kumar launched a ready to wear young brand, FKNS, in 2017. The younger brand also has Nari’s trademark cut, fit and sharp tailoring, which when combined with easy, leisure silhouettes, becomes a rage each time a new collection is launched.

‘The FKNS athleisure couture look is enhanced with the use of hand embroidery, brocades and velvet to give it a lux feel for an evening sporty glamour. From day to evening wear, this collection is a new direction in haute. In Nari’s words “athleisure is defining the fashion of the future,”‘ states a note on his website.

The fashion designer is once again in the news for his fashion film titled “2+2= 5 Brave New World”, which is a part of the Official Selection for the Berlin Fashion Film Festival 2022. “The film shows that fashion can have more meaning than just wearing clothes. I always believed that clothes mean nothing without a story. For me, my shows have always been “15 minutes of cinema”, it has always been experiential. Filmmaking is a natural extension of this story telling and allows me to reach a larger audience in a meaningful way, especially when people claim fashion is frivolous…” Nari told Times Of India.
