Pearl Academy, India’s premier creative education institution, recently presented the celebrated Rimzim Dadu Label at the 17th edition of the Hyundai India Couture Week 2024. This event, held at the prestigious Taj Palace, New Delhi featured a stunning runway presentation titled “Stucco.” The collection is a brilliant fusion of historical grandeur and modern innovation, with each piece reflecting meticulous craftsmanship and the timeless allure of Baroque-inspired fashion.

“Stucco,” Rimzim Dadu’s latest collection, is a celebration of the opulence of Baroque architecture intertwined with her avant-garde aesthetic. The immersive runway show highlighted exaggerated silhouettes, including corset tops, modern lehengas, sculptural sarees, sherwanis, and tuxedos for men. The dominant palette of deep ruby red, antique gold, and burnt orange brought to life the richness of Baroque artistry. These colours, expertly chosen, enhanced the interplay of light and shadow—a hallmark of both Baroque design and Dadu’s distinctive style.

Adding an extra layer of glamour and elegance to the evening, renowned actress and supermodel Sobhita Dhulipala graced the runway as the showstopper for the Rimzim Dadu Label. Her presence on the ramp was nothing short of mesmerizing, embodying the essence of the collection with grace and poise. Dhulipala’s walk was a highlight of the event, drawing admiration from the audience and fashion enthusiasts alike.

Designer Rimzim Dadu shared her excitement about the event and her ongoing association with Pearl Academy. “I eagerly anticipate discovering new talent and innovative designs. As an alumna of Pearl Academy, I am nostalgic, proud, and excited to be associated with them. It is the best institution for fresh talent to hone new skills and embark on their journey in the fashion industry. Their creativity and diverse approach to design are truly inspiring, offering a fresh take on various styles and pushing the boundaries of fashion.”
