The Hyundai India Couture Week is almost at its last leg, and on its sixth day, ace designers Jayanti Reddy and Rohit Bal showcased their latest collections at Delhi’s Taj Palace. While Janhvi Kapoor turned showstopper for Reddy, Arjun Rampal closed the late couturier’s show — their first at this prestigious platform after Bal’s passing last year on the eve of Diwali.Looking ever so handsome in a velvet black sherwani, paired with matching trousers and polished dark boots, Rampal rocked cropped hair with faded sides and a hint of scruff as he walked the ramp, fist-bumping his late friend.Describing his experience of walking for the designer, the Om Shanti Om actor said that the best part about fashion is to have fun with it. “Never take it seriously,” he said, highlighting the light, positive energy that Bal was famously known for.“The team sent me this sherwani, and when I unzipped it, there was a fragrance — like a Gudda’s fragrance that his clothes have, which I was given today. There was a certain scent to that outfit. It’s in no other outfit that I have ever worn,” Rampal told indianexpress.comOpulent ensembles in white, gold, crimson, and black took over the runway as models strutted in Bal’s signature velvet floral applique, complete with red roses tucked in their hair and a scarlet lip to match. Gingham capes and gauzy black veils added drama to their looks.

Silhouettes are layered and refined, crafted in Chanderi, matka silk, and velvet, with intricate gold zardozi and fine threadwork. In a palette of ivory, black, and wine, Kash-Gul speaks of calm confidence, quiet luxury, and the enduring soul of Kashmir. It’s a tribute to craft, culture, and beauty that tells a story beyond the garment,” read the caption of their Instagram post.
