With the ideas of speculative fiction as a guiding light, a new homegrown collection imagines itself inside a clay-red sandstorm, a brutalist desert world where sport and mysticism meet under eclipse skies. Torn nets and sculptural silhouettes rise from the dust — shapes that feel both archaic and disruptive. This imagined landscape, with its swirl of elemental forces, sets the stage for a collaboration that pushes fashion into a realm of storytelling and visual mythmaking.

Almost Gods and FILA enter this space from distinct yet complementary directions. FILA, with its century-long heritage, stands as a global icon of sportstyle, carrying the credibility of generations who have lived in its shoes, apparel, and on courts worldwide. Almost Gods, on the other hand, has steadily cultivated a uniquely Indian design language with an idiom of bold graphics, and myth-inspired narratives that treats fashion as cultural storytelling.

The collection born of this partnership draws heavily from the aesthetic grammar of brutalism and elemental mysticism. Every detail like the cuts, colours, and textures speak to the imagined world in which it belongs. Shades of clay and sand dominate, translating the desert palette into wearable form. Structured silhouettes and exaggerated shapes reference architectural brutalism, while draped fabrics and layered pieces echo the motion of shifting dunes in tones of ash, oxidised red and iron.

Central to the collaboration is the reimagining of sport through myth, elevating it to ritual, almost sacred. Nets, shoes, and uniforms are treated less as utilitarian objects and more as artefacts retrieved from this imagined terrain. FILA’s sports DNA anchors this narrative, while Almost Gods lends the language of fiction and worldbuilding, turning functional apparel into part of a cinematic mythology.

For Almost Gods, this collaboration signals a step into a larger global dialogue, proving the resonance of its Indian voice on the international stage. For FILA, it extends a tradition of partnerships that push the brand beyond performance wear into cultural spaces where style, art, and identity converge. The result is a disruptive capsule that speaks of history but belongs to the future, shaped as much by imagination as by craft.
