Abhinav Mishra's mirror embroidery is everywhere—stitched into cascading lehengas, sweeping anarkalis, and veils that shimmer like water under light.

"Success is when my work transcends trends and becomes a part of people's most cherished memories, whether it's a bride's wedding lehenga or a collector's treasured piece."

His fascination with the craft began long before his label, drawn to the way tiny glass fragments could turn fabric into something kinetic. When he launched his brand in 2017, he took a regional technique and expanded its possibilities, shifting it from small accents to the centre of an entire aesthetic.

His approach isn't about restraint. Mirrors are packed densely across pastel organzas and luminous silks, arranged in patterns that feel both structured and fluid. Scale is key-traditional embroidery forms the foundation, but his pieces take it further, using oversized motifs, unexpected placements, and reflective layers that move like a second skin. Bridal fashion embraced the look almost immediately, with wedding celebrations now gleaming under the weight of his signature work.

On the runway, his presentations are designed for impact. Models step through floral archways and candle lit corridors, trailing embroidery that turns with them, catching every shift in the environment. Beyond the spectacle, his focus remains on the artisans behind the work, ensuring that techniques passed down through generations evolve without losing their essence. Each collection refines the craft, testing new layouts, textures, and applications, keeping mirror work in constant motion.
