This edit highlights the designers giving shape to fashion's current mood, balancing heritage with edge and weaving culture into pieces that resonate today
-

uxury today isn't about excess—it's about intention. It's the kind of detail that turns a saree into armour, a workwear blazer into quiet confidence, and handloom into modern heirlooms. As Indian fashion takes bold new strides, a wave of designers is rewriting what it means to look and feel luxurious, without ever slipping into pretense. These six labels are the season's standouts, each with its own language of craftsmanship, and storytelling, but united by one promise: making luxe look innovative yet effortless.

Ritika Gupta is reimagining the saree for a new generation— bold, sculpted, and unapologetically powerful. Her latest collection, UNBOUND, takes the classic drape into statement territory with plunging necklines, ruched detailing, extended trails, and striking belts that double as armour. Built on the mantra 'I Am Enough,' the pieces are crafted for women who own the room rather than wait for space in it. “I wanted to create something that feels like armour, but looks like poetry,” says Gupta, Founder and Creative Director. Each saree is engineered to command attention, balancing drama with sharp construction. With UNBOUND, Ritika Gupta positions her label at the forefront of modern Indian luxury, where tradition meets edge, and confidence is the only dress code.
