A menswear collection that draws inspiration from the Navarasas—the nine emotions of Indian aesthetics

SUNDARI SILKS NEEDS no introduction, as known for their pure silk saris. They are also renowned for bringing innovation to weaves and designs. The brand's AutumnWinter 2025 menswear collection is no exception—it is a celebration of Indian artistic heritage.

The collection draws inspiration from the Navarasas—the nine fundamental emotions in Indian aesthetics. In traditional Indian performing arts, the Navarasas are a system for classifying and expressing emotions. They are brought to life through mudras (hand gestures), postures, and colours, forming the emotional backbone of storytelling and dance, allowing for nuanced portrayals of human experience.
