The atmosphere was electric as Aditya Roy Kapur took the stage as the showstopper for Kunal Rawal on Day 3 of Hyundai India Couture Week. Clad in a striking blue sherwani adorned with patola-inspired motifs in gunmetal hues, and paired with a voluminous denim Patiala from the ‘Sehra’ collection, The Night Manager actor captured everyone’s attention.
Kunal Rawal’s ‘Sehra’ collection, named after the traditional ornate headgear worn by Indian grooms, beautifully blends tradition and modernity. It features a luxurious palette of fabrics, including sumptuous silks, opulent brocades, intricate bandhani, and the artful dhup chao threadwork. Each garment is meticulously adorned with innovative interpretations of French knots and daring micro motifs.
Adding to the evening’s allure, stylist Anaita Shroff Adajania graced the runway with her take on androgynous fashion. She effortlessly showcased a menswear-inspired billowy shahara and jacket set. With minimalistic makeup and hair, she ensured that the outfit remained the focal point.
Reflecting on his inspiration, Kunal Rawal shared, “Having had the privilege of dressing and attending numerous weddings of people dear to me, I’ve come to deeply appreciate that the wedding day is just as significant for grooms as it is for brides. This understanding is at the heart of my ‘Sehra’ collection. Each design is crafted to enhance the groom’s ensemble and to pay homage to the rich tapestry of traditions and emotions that define this special occasion.”
