We may not always dress to impress but how much of what we buy holds some meaning to us? Here's where city-based visual artist and Locopopo Studio founder Lokesh Karekar's latest collaboration with Bombay Shirt Company fits into the puzzle with a limited edition collection of shirts that caters to people with diverse interests: fashion, architecture, art, the city and country.

Known for his geometric style, Karekar was approached by the company a month back with a free brief. Since he is known to weave elements of Indian heritage in his work, he decided to infuse them into the shirt collection comprising three patterns that launch tomorrow. The garments come in three colours: bottle green, white and brown. "Designing for fabric isn't the same as designing for a product. It's about playing between proportions of human body and the print, the contrast of colours, and considering how it will appear after taking the shape of a body. If the pattern is too big or too small, it gets lost," he explains.
