Inspired by flora and fauna, the spirit of nature was revealed at this show.

The Dubai-based fashion designer known for creating glamourous evening gowns, proved her craftsmanship on the runway yet again. The SS26 collected focused on structured cuts with flowing volumes to blend nature-inspired abstraction in a seamless manner. With meticulous precision, the star of the show was the white bridal silhouette with its corset and flowing skirt crafted to perfection.

Delving deep into the world of archives, this year’s SS26 show at Dubai Fashion Week featured oversized hats, and her usual staple signatures. Known for her intricate craftsmanship, the runway saw traditional design techniques featuring cutwork, and micro-beading that ruled the runway, in each of her skilled silhouettes. While preserving her heritage, the contemporary luxury brand redefined Indian couture in these ready-to-wear pieces that were both subtle yet fiercely feminine. Emirates Woman also had a chat Krésha Bajaj herself, where the designer mentioned her favourite trends on the runway this season.
