“With the evolving adoption of diverse fabric bases, ethnic wear staples have witnessed significant expansion. While raw silk, tonal ditsy jacquards and Chanderi remain perennial favourites, poly viscose wool blends have steadily gained prominence in this segment, particularly for outerwear such as sherwanis and Indo-western silhouettes. Building on the village core aesthetics from the previous season, FW25 takes a refined approach to embellishments, blending crafty treatments in a calculated and controlled manner. This season, expect to see intricate rice stitch embroidery, mixed-media elements, motif gota treatments alongside novelty edging that convey a vernacular charm yet being designed with a global sensibility. The trend celebrates the subtleness of hand done details in a polished twist that enhances both their authenticity and versatility.”
