In the grand, often brilliantly lit, theatre of the Indian festive season, a new code of nocturnal glamour is being written. It speaks not in the language of bright gold, but in the deep, resonant poetry of the midnight hour. The most eloquent verse in this new poem is this magnificent creation, which we have named "The Lapis River Tuxedo"-a title that defines its classic form, its precious soul, and the magnificent, fluid artistry that courses over its surface.

First, let us be unequivocal: this is a "Tuxedo." It is built upon the timeless architecture of formalwear-a sharp, single-breasted jacket with a graceful, sweeping shawl collar. It respects the sacred codes of black-tie, but uses them as a dark, silent riverbed for a spectacular, shimmering current.

The name's heart is "Lapis River." The "River" is the soul of its artistry. This is not a static, geometric pattern. It is a dynamic, organic flow. The entire body of the jacket is a canvas for meandering, interlocking currents of hand-laid embellishment. It is a breathtaking symphony of texture-a base of deep, granular black beadwork that creates a magnificent, almost reptilian, texture.

And flowing through this dark riverbed are the currents of "Lapis." This is the tuxedo's breathtaking secret. Brilliant, electric blue sequins and crystals-the precise, precious colour of Lapis Lazuli-are woven into the wave-like patterns. They are not scattered; they are strategic, designed to catch the light as the wearer moves, creating a mesmerizing effect of liquid light flowing through the darkness.

The artistry reaches its zenith in the contrast provided by the shawl collar. Crafted from a deep, matte fabric, it is the still, silent riverbank against which the shimmering, electric currents of the jacket's body crash. It is a moment of quiet, formidable power that anchors the entire design.

"The Lapis River Tuxedo" is a narrative of enigmatic cool. It is for the man who understands that the most powerful presence in the room is not the loudest, but the one with the most depth. It is the perfect choice for the groom at a chic, contemporary reception, for the host of the exclusive Diwali gala. It is a garment that does not just sparkle; it flows. This is not just a tuxedo; it is a force of nature.
