Abhishek Sharma teams up with Babil Khan and Vartika Singh for resort wear launch
Couturier Abhishek Sharma has unveiled his Resort Wear 2025 collection, 'Threads of Tradition On The Sea,' in partnership with actor Babil Khan and supermodel Vartika Singh. The line's campaign was captured by Sharma himself aboard a luxury yacht off the Mumbai coast and explores the interplay of heritage and relaxed silhouettes.
The collection brings together kantha embroidery from West Bengal and kalamkari painting motifs from Andhra Pradesh, reimagined with Sharma's signature restraint, the brand announced in a press release. Rooted in undyed handloom cotton, mulmul, and linen, the designs reflect a muted, nature-inspired palette and a focus on sustainable craftsmanship.
'Babil Khan and Vartika Singh's exotic charm and quiet intensity echo the ethos of the brand," said Sharma in a press release. "Babil's presence adds soul and depth to the menswear line and Vartika brings opulence and regal charm to the handcrafted silhouettes. Together, they don't just wear the clothes- they inhabit them, turning each frame into a visual poem."
Menswear pieces include high-waisted trousers with cropped jackets and abstract Kantha-embroidered shirts, while womenswear highlights bustiers and dresses adorned with detailed threadwork. With its fluid forms and cultural narrative, the collection is designed to offer a modern tribute to Indian craft traditions, blending comfort, luxury, and heritage aesthetics.

Mango Collective launches with Supriya Lele collab, aims to celebrate niche labels
Mango on Thursday announced it's embracing 'the essence of summer' with A Summer Reverie, a new collection created in collaboration with British-Indian designer Supriya Lele. Importantly too, the launch marks the debut of Mango Collective, a platform 'dedicated to celebrating the creativity and innovation of niche designers, bringing fresh perspectives to the fashion world'. It's an interesting development from a mass-market fashion retailer with collaborations in that segment usually more about big names that have instant recognition among a wider group of consumers. For Mango, an association with a smaller-but-acclaimed designer label like Supriya Lele adds extra creative credibility, while in return it gives the niche label and important route to a higher profile. That's also helped by a 10-day pop-up experience in London running until 15 June at The Gaumont, 196-222 King's Rd in Chelsea. And the collection? We're told that A Summer Reverie 'is a celebration of the season's warmth and allure', featuring 34 pieces that 'capture the dreamlike quality of summer nights'. The collection includes long dresses, skirts, and swimsuits, all designed to 'evoke a sense of fluid grace and effortless sophistication'. It includes a 'playful' mix of tricot and 'daring transparencies', as 'a testament to Supriya Lele's unique blend of cultural heritage and modern elegance'. The supporting campaign also 'plays a crucial role in bringing to life the kaleidoscopic vision of the collaboration'. It was shot by photographer Johnny Dufort and features a video by Julien Pujol with the aim being 'to capture the sensorial atmosphere of the collection, highlighting the interplay of diverse references while ensuring that fashion remains the undeniable focal point'. It was styled by Jane How. As for the Mango Collective, as mentioned, it's focused on niche designers and 'embodies a commitment to authentic fashion narratives, focusing on quality fabrics and meticulous attention to detail'. The retailer said that 'with over 40 years of experience, Mango has honed its ability to discover authentic and genuine projects, creating a community of talented designers. This initiative serves as a loudspeaker for talent and creativity, celebrating them through collaborative collections that reflect shared values and a common aesthetic vision. The goal is to enrich the fashion landscape with diverse influences, empowering women to express their individuality through inspiring wardrobes'.
