A sensuous tribute to
Venetian opulence – where velvet, lace, and sculpted tailoring revive the lost
romance of dressing with intention.
Bengaluru: Louis Philippe, India’s leading premium menswear brand from Aditya
Birla Lifestyle Brands Limited, introduces ‘The Royal Masquerade’ – a ceremonial,
couture-influenced collection that transforms the romance and intrigue of
Venetian masquerade culture into a bold, modern language of luxury dressing.
More than an ode to an era, it is an invitation to reclaim ceremony,
sensoriality, and self-expression through meticulously crafted fashion.
In a world where we believe in
grandeur, ‘The Royal Masquerade’ embraces the poetic theatre of 17th- and
18th-century European soirées – where velvet runways, candlelit salons, and
masked revelry became spaces for identity, power, and allure. Louis Philippe
reimagines this spirit for today’s discerning dresser, fusing sculpted
tailoring with texture play, jewel-tone palettes, and couture-grade details
designed for the contemporary ceremonial wardrobe.
A palette of emerald, midnight
sapphire, ruby lacquer, ivory silk, and molten gold anchors the collection,
infusing each piece with quiet drama and movement. Architectural tuxedo
jackets, layered ceremonial shirts, and impeccably cut three-piece suits define
the silhouette story – each engineered to command presence with restraint,
sophistication, and subtle theatre.
Luxurious Giza cotton, rich
velvets, and fluid Tencel blends form the foundation of the collection, while
baroque jacquards, filigree lace, tonal embroidery, and sun-god accents elevate
craftsmanship to couture-adjacent finesse. Shirts feature romantic lace
plackets, ruffle-detailed collars, and ornamental motifs – subtle yet striking
expressions of artistic decadence. Tailoring remains sharp and structured,
softened with satin and pearl-finish lapels, tactile textures, and artisanal
accents that move with light and emotion.
Speaking on the launch, Anil S
Kumar, Chief Business Officer, Louis Philippe, said, “The Royal Masquerade is a celebration of modern royalty – not defined by
lineage, but by individuality and intention. It honours the craft and ritual of
dressing well, not through excess, but through refinement, character, and
timeless confidence. This collection invites men to step into moments that feel
extraordinary – to wear emotion as much as elegance.”
The collection presents four defining
mood stories – Midnight Masquerade, Cherry Lacquer Luxe, Sage Sovereign, and
Gilded Ivory – each championing layered luxury and restrained opulence.
Finishing touches – sculptural bow ties, pearl-edge cravats, enamel brooches –
complete the ceremonial narrative with a whisper of old-world charm.
Anchoring the line is Gods &
Kings, a premium capsule envisioned as “ceremonial wear fit for royalty.”
Crafted in 100% cotton and cotton-Tencel blends with Silk Protein and Liquid
Ammonia finishes, this segment brings couture-like touch and luminosity to
everyday celebration wear, starting at ₹3,499.
With ‘The Royal Masquerade’, Louis
Philippe redefines ceremonial menswear for a new era – where heritage meets
audacity, softness meets structure, and elegance returns with sentiment and
soul. This is fashion that doesn't just dress the moment – it heightens it.
Where every detail is a quiet proclamation of charisma, craft, and contemporary
regality.
