Shantnu & Nikhil

Shantnu & Nikhil’s Mirage captures the desert’s paradox – barren yet full of life, where resilience shapes beauty. Drapery took centre stage, redefined through dhotis, layered skirts, and sculpted forms, merging minimalism and rebellion. 

Antar-Agni

Antar-Agni’s BRB captures a raw, unfiltered moment – effortless, full of energy, and free from rules or trends. It’s a glimpse, a pause before what’s next. The collection added asymmetrical drapes and unstructured elements into classic silhouettes, adding a sense of ease to the brand’s signature androgynous pieces.

Siddartha Tytler

Inspired by NYC’s raw energy, Siddartha Tytler’s Asphalt Jungle blends gothic grunge with precision tailoring. It’s a clash of structure and movement – rebellious yet refined, fluid yet controlled. 

Khanijo

Khanijo presented Rajasthan Reveriea, which was a storm of royal grandeur that merged with a punk rebellion. Symbolic prints and Ajrakh took centre stage in the collection, giving a poetic ode to Rajasthan’s sartorial heritage. 

Mandira Wirk

Crafted for the modern man and woman who prioritises style, comfort, and sophistication, Mandira Wirk’s collection was inspired by holiday escapes, yacht life, marine craftsmanship, and poolside glamour.

Rohit Gandhi + Rahul Khanna

Rohit Gandhi + Rahul Khanna’s Akoya redefined menswear and womenswear with pearls, architectural elegance, and modern ease. Classic silhouettes were elevated with relaxed trousers and reimagined matador jackets, blending heritage with innovation. 

Vivek Karunakaran 

IDAM by Vivek Karunakaran redefined Tamil Nadu’s heritage with a modern flair. Inspired by Thirukkurals and temple art, the collection fused silk organza, linen, and intricate embroidery with Madras checks and jasmine motifs.

Rajesh Pratap Singh

With his collection, Rajesh Pratap Singh married Indian heritage with contemporary design, offering understated luxury rooted in craftsmanship. Paying tribute to the free spirit of bikers, the collection merged the grunge biking aesthetic with the brand’s signature elegance.

Countrymade

Inspired by a charred aircraft fuselage, this collection echoes the remnants of battle. Deep greys, frayed edges, Kantha stitches, and molten metal prints told a story of survival and resilience.

NoughtOne

With a hybrid of conventional and contemporary design, NoughtOne’s collection featured innovative textiles, tech, and utilitarian aesthetics. Committed to sustainability and global appeal, the brand merges tradition with dynamic elements.
