Rohit Bal's poetry in thread lives on through Arjun Rampal this couture season
At Hyundai India Couture Week 2025, Arjun Rampal took to the runway not just as a showstopper, but as a long-time friend paying homage to one of Indian couture's most iconic voices. The actor closed Rohit Bal's posthumous collection, Kash-Gul, wearing a black velvet sherwani that was both visually arresting and emotionally who passed away last year, had always used fashion to tell deeply personal stories. The maestro might not be among us anymore, but the creative team made sure his presence was felt through the collection, and they did a pretty brilliant job of upholding the label's design language that it stands for. View this post on Instagram A post shared by FDCI (@fdciofficial)advertisementRampal's sherwani, rooted in the theme of Kashmir and the poetry of the gulistan (garden of flowers), featured tiger motifs embroidered with silver threads. The velvet bandhgala was paired with matching black trousers and dark, polished boots. This is what you would call regal meets dandy. Rampal's cropped hair, faded sides, and subtle scruff lent the look a contemporary sharpness. Remembering his friend and mentor, Rohit Bal, the actor shared how, when the showstopper outfit arrived before last night's show, it had quintessential 'Gudda's fragrance'. It was, as he put it, like wearing a piece of his friend, his mentor, his Rohit Bal's posthumous showAs label, this was their first showcase on the runway after the death of the ace designer last year. It's rare, in the Indian fashion industry for a designer-led label to sustain itself after the passing of its founder, let alone continue with full-scale runway that's exactly what's happening with Rohit Bal's eponymous brand. In the absence of a named successor, the label is now being steered by an internal design team along with a newly appointed creative director, Fraze Tasnim, and they are quietly yet confidently keeping the wheels turning. View this post on Instagram A post shared by FDCI (@fdciofficial)Rohit Bal's label has managed to preserve its core design language, rich Kashmiri influences, hand embroidery, and a sense of theatrical elegance, without needing to radically rebrand or hand over the reins to a celebrity creative head or a conglomerate. Instead, it's relying on institutional memory and in-house continuity to carry forward the fashion houses like Christian Dior, Chanel, Givenchy, and Louis Vuitton have shown that legacy brands can thrive well beyond their founders, provided the right creative stewardship is in place.- EndsTrending Reel

Janhvi Kapoor turns showstopper for Jayanti Reddy at ICW 2025
New Delhi, Jul 29 (PTI) Bollywood star Janhvi Kapoor turned muse for Jayanti Reddy's latest collection 'Reclaimed Opulence" on the sixth day of Hyundai India Couture Week. Reddy blended classic craftsmanship with contemporary elegance in her designs, which reflected 'a vibrant confluence of sustainability, heritage, and youthful innovation," according to a press note. 'It had a total of 50 looks—35 womenswear and 15 menswear—infused with ornate embroidery, whimsical motifs, and dynamic layering". The show, which took place on Monday evening at Taj Palace, began with a live music performance, featuring songs like 'Raat Baaqi Baat Baaqi", 'Ajeeb Dastaan", and 'Chura Liya Hai Tumne Jo Dil Ko". The models then took over the stage, which was adorned with floral decorations. The collection featured a spectrum of colours including red, purple, and dark green. The outfits for women comprised sarees with sleeveless blouses, suits, and long skirts paired with frilled corset tops. Menswear had traditional pieces with motifs all over. Kapoor walked the ramp wearing a light pink fish-tail lehenga. The attire was intricately designed with crystals, beads and floral work. It had a long net trail stretching behind and the sleeves of the blouse were adorned with the crystals. The 'Dhadak" actor opted for minimal makeup and had her hair open. She entered the stage to the tunes of 'Aaj Ki Raat". 'She is gorgeous, she is beautiful, she is magical, and that's exactly what I wanted for my showstopper outfit. It was a very easy choice for me," Reddy told PTI after the show. Reddy said her latest collection was made from the leftovers of the previous shows, and that's the reason it was named 'Reclaimed Opulence" 'The collection is a celebration of everything heritage, it's a celebration of craft, it's a celebration of textiles. I used a lot of leftovers and textiles from previous archives and the show from the last season. That's why it is called 'Reclaimed Opulence," Reddy said. India Couture Week will conclude on Wednesday with the grand finale show by J J Valaya.

Arjun Rampal Pays Tribute To Late Designer And Friend Rohit Bal At ICW 2025: "Legends Never Die"
Actor Arjun Rampal turned showstopper for his late friend and celebrated fashion designer Rohit Bal at Hyundai India Couture Week 2025. Rohit Bal died on November 1, 2024, and Kash-Gul, the latest collection from the designer's eponymous label, was presented by his team. The clothing line drew inspiration from the beauty of Rohit Bal's native Kashmir and the poetry of Gulistan, a garden of flowers. Rohit Bal's collection was presented at the Hyundai ICW 2025 on 28th July, which marked the sixth day of the event hosted at the Taj Palace in Delhi. Looking dapper in a black velvet kurta embellished with silver embroidery, actor-model Arjun Rampal strutted down the ramp in style. He also paused for a bit to remember his friend and designer Rohit Bal. View this post on Instagram A post shared by FDCI (@fdciofficial) At one point, the Om Shanti Om actor pointed at the sky and looked up, remembering the ace designer. While addressing the media, actor Arjun Rampal said, "Legends never die" as he paid rich tributes to his close friend and popular designer, Rohit Bal. Describing the late designer's positive energy, he said that the best part about Rohit Bal was that he never took fashion seriously. "Rohit said, 'Fashion is fun, and you should have fun with it'. We saw that in his clothes and his shows." "The team sent me this sherwani, and when I unzipped it, there was a fragrance - like a Gudda's (Rohit Bal) fragrance that his clothes have. There was a certain scent to that outfit. It's in no other outfit that I have ever worn," Arjun Rampal continued as he addressed all reporters in the crowd. Arjun Rampal praised Rohit Bal's team for putting together a great collection. "He must be dancing up there and feeling happy. He must be proud of you guys for putting this collection together. God bless you. And as I said, legends never die, they live on." The show ended like a signature Rohit Bal show. All the models, along with the brand's team and Arjun Rampal, danced as the audience clapped and gave a standing ovation to the late designer. This is not the first time the 52-year-old actor walked for the ace designer. Arjun Rampal has walked for him several times, including the grand finale of his Kashmir-inspired collection - Gulbagh - where he walked for him as the showstopper. About The Collection Called Kash-Gul, the collection draws inspiration from the serene beauty of Kashmir. "KASH-GUL is a reflection of the soul of Rohit Bal. In every stitch, there's memory; in every silhouette, a sense of home,' says Fraze Tasnim, Creative Director at Rohit Bal Couture. View this post on Instagram A post shared by FDCI (@fdciofficial) The outfits were in hues of ivory, black, and deep wine. Silhouettes were layered in Indian textiles such as Chanderi, Matka silk, and velvet, with intricate gold zardozi and fine threadwork.
