Speaking about the upcoming showcase, Rahul Mishra said in a press note, “Every time we showcase in India, it fills us with immense pride to present our work on home soil, where the roots of our craft run deepest. Opening Hyundai India Couture Week 2025 with FDCI is an honour, and this collection feels especially personal. It explores the idea of love not just as a feeling, but as a transformation and a journey of becoming. Through every ensemble, we attempt to express that quiet surrender, where craft, emotion, and soul dissolve into one.”
JJ Valaya, known for blending traditional charm with modern style, recently shared with ANI that he believes a designer’s work should speak louder than the creator. Talking about his new collection titled East, inspired by various regions of the Eastern Hemisphere, he said, “We’ve spent eight months preparing for a 25-minute show, and I feel the final presentation captures everything perfectly. So, I’d rather let the collection do the talking.”
The show will be a master highlight of fashion with a blend of art, brining innovation to the table with each craftsmenship.
