There’s a quiet shift unfolding in the world of Indian couture, one where movement matters as much as craftsmanship, where softness holds power, and where clothing becomes a canvas for emotion. Today’s designers are redefining what festive and occasion wear can look like: lighter, more fluid, deeply expressive, and rooted in a sense of self. These are collections that invite you to feel, to move, and to celebrate not just an event, but your presence in it.
Here are some thoughtfully crafted collections that balance ease with elegance and emotion with artistry.
Roohrang by Shasha Gaba
Shasha Gaba’s new collection, Roohrang, is all about finding beauty in nature. From blooming flowers and green fields to colourful skies and sunlight, each outfit reflects these soft, peaceful elements. Compared to her past collections that had more structure and heavy work, this one feels lighter, easier, and more flowy.
The designs include pretty floral and leaf patterns, soft shimmer like morning dew, and gentle colour fades inspired by the sky. The colour palette is dreamy from deep blues (Blue Blossom) and soft pinks (Blush Blossom) to warm gold (Honeydrop), fresh greens (Moss Mirage), and bold ombrés (Scarlet Desire).
Fabrics like silk, georgette, organza, and satin give the outfits movement and elegance. The collection includes lehengas, sarees, gowns, kurta-sharara sets, and cape styles perfect for festive days or evening celebrations.
Roohrang brings together comfort and beauty, making each piece easy to wear yet full of charm.

Alchemy of Love by Nishtha Bansal
Alchemy of Love collection inspired by Gustav Klimt’s iconic painting The Kiss, the collection is a celebration of love’s power, vulnerability, strength, and transformation. The collection reflects everything I felt from the painting — the depth of passion, the fragility of love, and its enduring strength. It’s about making love physical, tangible, and something to be worn.
Nishtha’s thoughtful design process is visible in every piece of the collection. The color palette of gold, reds, and greens, drawn from the rich tones of Klimt’s work, sets the stage for the fluid, delicate fabrics like satin and crepe, mixed with bold elements like 3D peony embroidery and corset-style silhouettes. The mix of traditional techniques and modern, feminine cuts allows each garment to embody both the softness and strength inherent in love. This collection is meant to be worn, to be lived in to turn love into something you can feel every day.”

Say “I Do” to Colour – Aber by 11 Tareng Is The Summer Wedding Edit You’ve Been Waiting For
Sun-soaked ceremonies, garden pheras, mehendi moments under bougainvillea—summer weddings are all about joy, colour, and ease. And 11 Tareng’s latest drop, Aber, checks every box for the season’s most stylish celebrations.
Taking its name from the Manipuri word for gulal, Aber is a love letter to spring, celebration, and cultural storytelling. Inspired by Yaosang (the Manipuri Holi), this collection is where vibrant colour meets conscious craft—a modern tribute to heritage that’s anything but traditional in the ordinary sense.
Think lush lehengas, effortless dhoti sets, dreamy draped skirts, and floaty capes—all in a sorbet-soaked palette of orange, pink, red, yellow, green, and blue. The kind of pieces you’ll want to twirl in, toast in, and wear long after the lights go out. Made from Khurkhul silk, a centuries-old Manipuri textile known for its radiant sheen and deep dye absorption, Aber is light, luxe, and built for movement—so you can dance, pose, and breathe easy through every celebration.
But what truly sets Aber apart? The details. Meitei motifs like Thangjing, Atargulap, Tangkhai, and Satra are intricately woven into each look, with stunning mulberry silk dupattas and traditional jewelry-inspired latkans making their debut. It’s giving heirloom energy with a fresh, Gen-Z soul.
Born from the founders’ own story—growing up between Manipur and Delhi—Aber is where nostalgia meets new-age style. It’s rooted, radiant, and ready for weddings that celebrate individuality and heritage in equal measure.
So if you’re planning your summer wedding wardrobe, consider this your sign:
Aber by 11 Tareng isn’t just perfect. It’s iconic.
