For the first look, Babil donned a sleeveless statement top that was adorned with ruffles. The high-neck top featured draped details and embroidery all over. He paired this top with a pair of relaxed pants and a summer jacket. For the second look, the actor sported a boxy-silhouette linen jacket that featured kalamkari motifs in cutwork pattern. He paired it with matching coloured pants.
Talking about his muses, Sharma said, 'Babil Khan and Vartika Singh's exotic charm and quiet intensity echo the ethos of the brand. 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."
The alluring, relaxed, boxy silhouettes define the season, cut away from the body, easy in movement, and deeply comforting. For menswear, the collection includes cropped jackets that are paired with high-waisted, loose trousers. The shirts feature abstract Kantha embroidery that dances across the fabric like waves on water. For womenswear, the collection offers delicate bustiers hand-embroidered with Kantha motifs, and short dresses adorned with story-rich threadwork.
The collection is a meditative tribute to Indian craftsmanship, effortless luxury with sustainability at its core. At the heart of this collection is a unique fusion of Kantha embroidery from West Bengal and Kalamkari painting motifs from Andhra Pradesh. The pieces have been crafted from raw, undyed handloom cotton, mulmul and linen. With light, earthy hues, the collection embraces a palette drawn from nature itself.
