In the near future, he plans to widen his retail base through corporate tie-ups and franchise arrangements. “Good design should express ones individuality/personality and not that of the designer so that one can make one’s own individual statement of style and fashion and not the other way round,” he adds. Amit GT designs for the people, who have a cosmopolitan outlook. ‘Amit GT’ Man is well traveled and knows where it’s at. His designs are an eclectic mix of cultures and genres, street, traveller, punk or New York, forming an evolutionary blend of style for a neopolitan dapper.

His ergonomically engineered styling with more stress on comfort than on embellishments echoes sophisticated simplicity that renders an evolved form of elegance that is conducive to our ever-changing modern lifestyle. His style is not just about forms, colours or textures but about how positive one feels about oneself with his line; it is about creating an aura that voices what one really is and what one aspires to be.
