Inside India Couture Week 2025

From futuristic fantasy to heirloom romance and wild whimsy, the runway at India Couture Week was a celebration of imagination without limits. Amit Aggarwal transported audiences into a sci-fi dreamscape with sculpted silhouettes and biomorphic forms, Roseroom by Isha Jajodia wove emotion into bridal couture through delicate yet powerful craftsmanship, and Aisha Rao brought a lush ode to nature with her maximalist debut. Each collection told its own story, proving how couture can shift perspectives in an instant.

Here’s my experience at India Couture Week 2025.

Amit Aggarwal opened a portal to inner worlds with Arcanum, where couture became coded biology. From sculpted dresses to tailored suits, I don’t know what to rave about more, Aggarwal showcased a new take on the language of form.

And guess what? No showstopper closed Amit Aggarwal’s showcase at the 18th Hyundai India Couture Week 2025. Why? Because none was needed.

All I could see was sculpted silhouettes, exquisite embellishments, and everything glowy. Here, technique met tenderness, structure met the soul. The designer unveiled ‘Arcanum’, a collection inspired by the core of human biology. With this showcase, Aggarwal moved beyond surface-level glamour to explore the invisible architecture of life itself — our DNA.

Pastels, bolds, self-love and empowerment—that’s what it screamed! Isha unveiled her new collection, Whispers of Love To Myself, bringing together a modern, unvarnished take on femininity, one that embraces gentleness as strength, and structure as poetry.

I loved everything about her collection as it had something for every kind of bride. I repeat—every kind. The narration described the journey of a woman from being tame to learning first to tread softly, and then boldly.

From pearl-studded corsets to airy capes, every outfit blended strength with softness. Tara Sutaria, as the showstopper, closed the Roseroom show in a look that beautifully captured this theme.

The India Couture Week also shone a spotlight on emerging talent this year, with designer Aisha Rao making her debut. Her collection, ‘Wild at Heart’, drew inspiration from nature, featuring banana leaves, lotus blooms, and palms in intricate appliqué work on lehengas, sarees, and sherwanis.

The silhouettes were sharp yet soft, adorned with glass beads, sequins, and multi-coloured embellishments that gave a playful, almost psychedelic touch. With a palette of brushed rose gold, lush berry, antique champagne, and fresh greens, the collection celebrated maximalism, joy, and whimsy, blending structure with softness and tradition with modern fantasy.
