Sheer kurtas, pinstriped dhoti-skirts: Unmissable looks from Shantnu-Nikhil show
At fashion designer duo Shantnu & Nikhil's new collection showcase at India Couture Week 2025, star power shone brighter than at any other like Arjun Rampal, Jim Sarbh, Rajkummar Rao, Randeep Hooda, Fatima Sana Shaikh, Manushi Chhillar, Zahaan Kapoor, Vihaan Samat, and cricketer Mithali Raj took over the front row - and later, the ramp - to support the designer brothers. Celebs at Shantnu & Nikhil's India Couture Week 2025 show. advertisementBut for fashion enthusiasts, the designers' couture was equally the cynosure. At ICW 2025, Shantnu & Nikhil presented a stellar androgynous, workwear-meets-occasionwear collection. Think: a male model walking the ramp in all-sequinned trousers and a woman owning the room in a tailored bandhgala with a pinstriped, lungi-inspired skirt. Men in sequin at the Shantnu & Nikhil show. Away from the usual ICW shaadi staples(billowing lehengas, blingtastic sarees, and groom-specific sherwanis) Shantnu & Nikhil's collection was a refreshing departure. It doubled up as a refreshing amalgam of tailored trousers, easily reworn bandhgalas, skirts you'd want to take to the boardroom, and jackets you'd want to style in a hundred different leaned into high drama this season. A standout look featured a shimmering silver sheer kurta set paired with matching pants, layered under a long, structured achkan. Sequins and sparkle turned pinstripe pants into statement-makers, while cascading strands of glistening embellishments flowed from shirt collars, looking like swinging ties. Shantnu & Nikhil menswear Womenswear, too, blurred gendered sartorial lines with a striking mix of silhouettes and styles. Pinstriped lungi-inspired skirts were paired with achkans, while statement ruffled shirts met tailored work trousers, topped with pearl-laden coats. Even seemingly classic workwear - think crisp blazers, structured shirts, and pleated skirts - came with a fashionable twist, embellished with pearls, metallic accents, and couture-level detailing. Lungi-skirts rule the ramp With this collection titled 'Metropolis', the designers wanted to disrupt the vocabulary of Indian menswear. Well, they did that and how!- Ends

Shantnu & Nikhil's Metropolis Sets A New Code For Indian Couture Menswear
At the Hyundai India Couture Week, designer duo Shantnu & Nikhil showcased their latest collection - Metropolis. The collection reimagined masculinity with structure and restraint. Shantnu & Nikhil's showcase at the Hyundai India Couture Week 2025 was nothing short of cinematic. Their latest menswear collection, Metropolis, debuted in Delhi on Sunday, offering a sharp, soul-stirring take on what it means for men to dress in today's world. Known for their signature interplay of military discipline and romantic drapery, the designer duo took their aesthetic to new heights this season, creating a sartorial playground where tradition collides with rebellion. Set in an imagined cityscape shaped by both nostalgia and futurism, Metropolis breaks free from the conventional. Shantnu & Nikhil 's collection reimagines masculinity with a language of structure and restraint, where every detail serves a purpose and every silhouette tells a story. Take a look at it here. The garments lean into architectural tailoring and cultural memory. Think cropped bandhgalas and overcoat sherwanis styled with pearl accents, fluid kurtas that whisper poetry, and pinstripe embellishments that flirt with subversion. A military influence anchors the entire lineup, nodding to desert warriors and princely grandeur without ever veering into costume. Instead, the pieces feel lived-in and sharply aware of their time. The colour palette ranges from stark noir and soft pearl to sun-drenched golds and washed-out vintage pastels. Accessories were more than ornamental; they were declarations of intent. Every look on the runway felt like a manifesto for a new kind of royalty: not inherited, but earned. Shantnu & Nikhil's show also drew in an impressive front row, with Bollywood celebrities like Rajkummar Rao, Arjun Rampal, Randeep Hooda, and Jim Sarbh lending their presence. Their attendance underscored the collection's relevance; these are clothes for the men rewriting narratives both onscreen and off. View this post on Instagram A post shared by FDCI (@fdciofficial) top videos View all Ultimately, Shantnu & Nikhil's Metropolis isn't just a collection. It's a movement. A quiet revolution in Indian couture that dares to rethink how men express power, vulnerability, and style, all at once.
