Abhiveer Mehta

I am Abhiveer Mehta, a Fashion Design Alumnus of IIAD, constantly working on being a sponge that wants to and has learnt to absorb all the knowledge and experience he can as a budding designer. Having been questioned constantly for the choices I make for myself in my life—my career choice being the catalyst—I have turned into an individual who persistently works to perform the best of his capabilities, not to prove to society, but to merely remind myself to be confident of his own choices. I am an individual who uses his work to express himself to the outside world, almost like a place to escape from reality. I aspire to grow in the realm of design to be a Sci-Fi Costume Designer which is envisioned by the experience I have started to gain an understanding of unconventional materials and their positioning into the fashion world – materials that could be manipulated into their unforeseen selves.

My work brings out my personality as a bold expressionist and a maximalist, who loves to go ahead with his choices in design by taking the most unconventional routes. My work not only projects me as a fashion designer but as an artist who constantly wants to outgrow himself. My projects across the past few years strongly frame the idea of bringing in concepts based on Science and Psychology – Zoological studies, Hybridisation, Social Isolation, Hydraulic underwater gunshots, etc. I focus on religiously taking the most unseen concepts from our mundane lifestyles to the next level by interpreting them through my vision and language.

With strong illustration skills and a developing visual language, I feel I have set a foundation for all my skills to follow and build upon. I best recognise my forté as a silhouette and print designer who has always worked in and around the material to manipulate it in the best ways possible that contribute fully to the development of Unconventional Silhouettes & scrumptious visual surfaces with a tactile edge that help me put my heart out into design.
