In the form of the Spring/Summer 2023 couture collection Abyss, Vaishali S. once again shines the global spotlight on Indian handwoven fabrics. In her signature corded weaves, the designer showcases a journey of self-discovery. About Abyss, she says, ‘I am extremely excited as the collection concept is a mix of two important aspects of my life: inner self exploration and depth of the ocean, which is one of my main sources of inspiration.’

Rahul Mishra walked down the meta-spiritual path with his collection titled Cosmos. He drew inspiration from the Sanskrit statement, ‘Aham Brahmasmi’ which translates to ‘I am the Cosmos’. The true champion of the collection is the impossible orientation to details in the complex, layered outfits, truly earning the couture tag. Intricate gold embroidery and galaxies abound this collection, as Mishra swims up from the depth of the oceans to the limitless sky.
