Enchanting new collection to open India Couture Week 2025 curtain raiser
Enchanting new collection to open India Couture Week 2025 curtain raiser Celebrated fashion designer Suneet Varma will present his latest collection, SEHR , at India Couture Week 2025. The word Sehr means enchantment in Urdu, and the collection is inspired by the quiet magic of early morning light. Varma describes the line as a journey into a world of mystery, romance, and soft power. The collection draws from the idea of an enchanted forest. Flowing chiffons, soft silks, and detailed embroidery reflect moonlight on leaves and hidden secrets. The colour palette includes rose, lilac, grey, and black. Each garment—whether it's a shimmered corset, a soft skirt, or a relaxed sharara—is made to express quiet strength and fantasy. Embellishments include crystals, pearls, garnets, and fine threadwork. Suneet Varma is known for bringing theatre and storytelling to the runway, and this show will be no different. The stage will transform into a mystical forest, bringing the collection to life through visuals, music, and movement. SEHR is designed for the modern bride and any woman who believes in dreams. His showcase will take place on Thursday, July 24 at 9:30 pm at the Taj Palace, New Delhi. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like My 4-year-old kidneys are failing, only you can help Donate For Health Donate Now Undo You Can Also Check: Delhi AQI | Weather in Delhi | Bank Holidays in Delhi | Public Holidays in Delhi India Couture Week 2025 will open with Rahul Mishra on July 23 and close with JJ Valaya on July 30.
