Amit Aggarwal is redefining the future of ready-to-wear with his new pret collection. With a continuing focus on easy-to-wear dressing, fashion intersects with heritage in new experiments with form and texture.
The latest collection is all about versatility—clothing that is effortless and made to be styled your way. “This collection is about freedom—clothes that move with you, adapt to you, and evolve with your style. Fashion should be effortless yet expressive. These pieces are designed to be worn your way, mixed with what you already love, and styled to feel uniquely you,” says Amit Aggarwal.
Think wardrobe essentials with a statement edge—structured yet fluid silhouettes, easy layering pieces, and bold details that can be mixed and matched with anything, bringing together fashion and function in a seamless way. The collection featured cropped jackets, asymmetric hems, and lightweight separates which you can pair with favourite denim or luxe accessories.

Staying true to its philosophy of reimagining dressing as an act of daily reinvention, OTT continues to offer multi-wear separates that allow the modern woman to shape her own aesthetic narrative. “This collection speaks to the multifaceted urban woman—her wardrobe evolving as she moves through life, accumulating pieces that reflect her journey and achievements. The act of buying fashion transforms into a deeply personal statement of self-expression,” says Tarun Tahiliani. The collection blended Indian and Western silhouettes in a distinctly Indian Modern manner. Draped gilets, fluid dresses, structured jackets, and layered separates exuded a sensual, romantic, and bohemian charm, catering to both young and mature wearers. The Singh Twins’ signature geometric prints, first introduced in Tarun Tahiliani’s 2015 collaboration, made a comeback in a delicate summer palette of ecru, blush, sage, and taupe, rendered on linen, Chanderi, georgette, organza, and jersey.
Stoïque by arshana raj
The latest collection, called Echo The Silhouettes, from Stoïque runway collection Echo moved effortlessly from structured to fluid, projecting duality that was either grounded and strong or light and relaxed. The colour selection matched the mood of the show, as deep immersive hues came in unison with more playful tones to present a fine balance. Like water that inspired Arshna, the collection adapted, reshaped and reclaimed its fashion offering with great elegance and ease. Also visualised were stripes of upcycled textiles that were crafted into floral motifs that made quiet statements of renewal. Embellishments also included embroidered blooms that blossomed on layered garments, creating at times a delicate yet bold impact.
AFEW RAHUL MISHRA
AFEW’s Fall Winter 2025 collection, The Silk Route, drew inspiration from the rich history of the ancient trade routes that connected the East and West. With The Silk Route, AFEW explored the intersection of traditional craft and contemporary design with influences from the flora, folklore, and textile traditions along the trade routes blended with elements of European art, notably the work of long-standing inspiration Henri Rousseau. The collection reflected the parallel evolution of India’s Bandhani alongside Japan’s Shibori, reminding us that creativity transcends borders, shaped by time, culture, and exchange.

AK|OK Anamika Khanna curated a line that exuded power, poise, and effortless charm—perfectly balancing strength and grace. Her signature style, known for its intricate craftsmanship and modern sensibility, found new expression through designs that redefined power dressing in a world where beauty and confidence go hand in hand. Redefining work wear, the collection can easily go from day to night. Monochrome shades elevated with silver jewellery and accessories are one way to sparkle under the sun this summer!
