KillerKiller jeans

In the year 1989, a denim brand was launched that would change the face of Indian fashion forever. That brand was Killer Jeans, a product of the reputed Kewal Kiran Clothing Limited.

20 years of bold style statements. 20 years of radical innovations in fashion. 20 years of being a name synonymous with the young and the rebellious.

Over the past 2 decades, Killer has given the Indian youth a plethora of ways to express itself. With the devil-may-care attitude of Worn Out jeans, the unabashed sex appeal of Revealing  Low jeans, the rough, brash finish of Shreds, the undying stylishness of Immortal Jeans, the bold chic of the ladies denim collection, the cool, natural feel of Raw jeans and the trend-of-the-moment fits of Squeeze slim denim. Be it jeans, shirts, jackets, or T-shirts, Killer apparel has always kept up with global trends, remaining in itself experimental, sexy and downright cool.

No wonder then that today Killer is one of the largest selling denim brands in India. And upping its style quotient even more is its unique association with two of the most prestigious names in fashion. Lakme Fashion Week and Narendra Kumar Ahmad. 

A celebration of the best in Indian fashion, Lakme India Fashion Week is a showcase of talent and trends as rarely seen together.  And with their bold amalgamation of modern silhouettes and luxurious Indian couture, Narendra Kumar Ahmad’s designs speak more for him than words possibly can.
