This season, Creative Director Shivin Singh deepens his exploration of the sari — a garment he considers the purest form of dress. In Early to the Party, its fluid drapes are reimagined through advanced tailoring and inventive construction, defining Absent Findings’ elongated, elegant silhouette with subtle flares.

The collection draws from Le Corbusier’s Palace of Assembly in Chandigarh for its architectural precision, while Giorgio de Chirico’s Il Ritornante inspires its muted palette, pleating, and surreal dimensionality.

At its core, Early to the Party studies quiet interpersonal dynamics, inspired by Andy Shauf’s album The Party. Through archetypal characters — the Observers, Dreamers, Confidants, and more — the lookbook explores the tension and tenderness within human gatherings.

More than an evolution, this collection is an excavation of Absent Findings’ obsessions: the sari, architectural form, surrealism, and the evolving language of dress.
