The showcase, Quintessence, was a regal celebration of Indian heritage reimagined through a modern lens. Presented at The Oberoi in the capital, the show combined craftsmanship, silhouettes and a mood of opulence, all hallmarks of Tahiliani’s signature aesthetic. Modern take on Indian bridal couture Quintessence offered a new perspective on bridalwear, blending time-honoured techniques with contemporary structures. The collection unfolded in a palette of ivories, antique golds, deep reds and romantic pastels. A standout was a blush-toned saree adorned with 3D floral embroidery, paired with a corsetstyle blouse that offered a balance of delicacy and edge. Another featured a muted grey lehenga worn with a cropped blouse and a long, heavily embellished jacket. Menswear had sharply tailored sherwanis and bandhgalas rendered in rich fabrics and tonal embroidery. Every ensemble in the collection struck a deliberate harmony between weightless construction and visual richness, speaking to Tahiliani’s continued evolution as a designer who respects heritage while constantly reinterpreting it. — PTI Through tradition & time Designer Amit Aggarwal says he looked at the human DNA as a poetic symbol of time within the body and the result was Arcanum, his latest collection that blends futuristic design, Indian craftsmanship, and sustainability. The collection, which reimagines fashion as a form of mystical storytelling where models appear as if they are futuristic beings, was unveiled on the third day of the Hyundai FDCI India Couture Week. He said the inspiration was an “inward journey”, a shift from his previous collection Antevorta. — PTI WHAT’S HOT play BUFFET BLISS!
