Til by Ankur Verma: Draping Silhouettes Like a Second Skin
Ankur Verma’s fashion label, Til, has quickly made a mark with its ability to envelop bodies in silhouettes that feel almost like a second skin. In just two years, Til has carved out a niche for itself with contemporary designs and a distinctive local flair, making its way into celebrity wardrobes.
We had the pleasure of speaking with Ankur Verma, the creative mind behind Til, about his brand that seamlessly blends fashion with art. Verma’s journey began at the ateliers of renowned designer Sabyasachi, where he honed his skills for four years. His meticulous attention to textile detail, developed during this time, is now a hallmark of Til. His diverse experience, including stints with Varun Bahl, Carlos Osman, and Bottega Veneta, has shaped his design perspective. Yet, with Til, Verma embraces a more authentic and raw approach, characterized by flowy silhouettes, dramatic drapes, and unique prints inspired by his imaginative vision.
Verma describes his design philosophy, saying, “Just like our skin tells a story through its wrinkles and freckles, I see patterns in everything, each a reflection of beauty and individuality. I blend these observations with my surreal vision, capturing how I perceive my vibrant, textured, and patterned world.” Til’s designs are a testament to this vision, with drapes that feel like an extension of the skin, adorned with captivating artwork and prints.
With LSA for Local, we celebrate Til and its founder for their commitment to showcasing homegrown talent on a global stage.
