Playful Prints by Dev R Nil

Dev R Nil is a Kolkata based designer label founded by duo Debarghya and Navonil. They have created a niche in the field of Pret and Bridal couture. Their forte lies in re-inventing and redefining design, season after season; and they are known for creating a contemporary spin on Indian aesthetics.

Along with fashionable outfits, label Dev R Nil presents stories through their use of artistic and colourful prints. The label offers the best of both worlds while championing contemporary styles and age-old techniques. Playful prints in vibrant hues take the centre stage in Dev R Nil collections and they always manage to defy fashion norms with the aesthetic. With the use of prints, textures and unconventional patterns, they always manage to make a powerful yet simplistic statement in the fashion world.  

The print trend will always remain a classic! Dev R Nil uses this as their power and creates artistic looks that fit all personalities. The duo loves to play around with a wide variety of beautiful hues and use indigenous printing techniques like Batik, Bagh, Kalamkari, and Ajrak. Playful prints replace heavy embroidery and the prints created mimic nature and culture in modern ways. Through this, they successfully marry Indian sensibilities with modern aesthetics to achieve classic ensembles with a hint of drama.
