The Anamika Khanna SUPIMA Collaboration: What Each Side Brings

The Anamika Khanna SUPIMA collaboration is built around one question: what can premium cotton become in AK|OK’s hands? The label has a reputation for an unconventional approach to contemporary fashion, and SUPIMA brings its know-how in extra-long staple cotton. Together they want to look at how fabric innovation, craftsmanship and modern design feed each other, and how far an exceptional material can take a design idea.

What FDCI and Reliance Brands Said

Anamika Khanna has consistently brought a distinctive perspective to Indian fashion, and her association with SUPIMA opens up an interesting dialogue between textile excellence and contemporary design. We are pleased to see this partnership take shape on the Lakmé Fashion Week platform and look forward to the collection’s unveiling next season.” — Sunil Sethi, Chairman, Fashion Design Council of India (FDCI)
“Lakmé Fashion Week in partnership with FDCI has always been a platform where meaningful collaborations between fashion, craftsmanship and innovation come to life. The association between AK|OK Anamika Khanna and SUPIMA brings together two distinct strengths: a bold, contemporary design sensibility and a globally recognised commitment to premium cotton.

In Anamika Khanna’s and Marc Lewkowitz’s Words

“I’m really happy to be partnering with Supima cotton. For me, it always begins with the fabric. The simplest garment has to feel effortless the moment you put it on, and that only happens when the fabric is right. This association feels like a natural fit for how we make clothes at AK|OK: soft, easy and made to be lived in. It’s a collaboration I’m really excited about.” — Anamika Khanna, Creative Director and Co-Founder, AK|OK
“I’m really excited about the Supima collaboration because I think it gives us an opportunity to look at cotton in a completely different way. For me, it’s about taking something as familiar and timeless as cotton and exploring its possibilities through our design language — through texture, construction, proportion and detail. With the collection, I’m looking at creating pieces that feel modern, considered and effortless, but still have a strong point of view. I want to explore how we can push the fabric beyond its traditional associations and create something that feels contemporary, elevated and relevant internationally. I think it’s a lovely opportunity to bring together the quality of Supima cotton with our approach to design and craftsmanship, and I’m looking forward to seeing how the collection evolves.” — Marc Lewkowitz, CEO, SUPIMA

Music, Flowers and SUPIMA Cotton

About 40 invited guests attended the afternoon, which mixed fashion, creativity and conversation, and they had a chance to talk to Anamika Khanna and Marc Lewkowitz about the thinking behind the partnership. A live musical performance set the mood, and a floral installation let guests make personalised bouquets wrapped in SUPIMA cotton fabric, a hands-on way to feel the material at the heart of the Anamika Khanna SUPIMA collaboration.
