Indian Couture Week Day 7 was highlighted by designer Rimzim Dadu’s remarkable collection. The showstopper, Sobhita Dhulipala, captivated the audience in a breathtaking ivory ensemble.

Rimzim Dadu’s designs seamlessly blended traditional and modern elements, making this collection a standout moment of the event. Sobhita’s ensemble featured an off-shoulder bralette adorned with exquisite floral motif embroidery, creating a delicate yet bold look. She paired this with a matching high-waisted skirt, which had a straight fit and a maxi hemline. The skirt was embellished with beautiful fringe details cascading down its length, adding dynamic movement and texture. A back slit introduced an element of dramatic flair, enhancing the outfit’s overall elegance.

Her attire exuded style and sophistication, firmly establishing her as the show’s star. To complement this magnificent outfit, Sobhita chose minimal accessories, ensuring her ensemble remained the focal point. She wore a chic choker necklace and diamond stud earrings, which added a touch of elegance without overshadowing her look.

Sobhita’s makeup featured nude shimmer eyeshadow, winged eyeliner, mascara-coated lashes, defined brows, blushed cheeks, a radiant highlighter, and a nude lipstick. Her hair was styled into a relaxed wet hairdo, perfectly completing her stunning appearance.

Rimzim Dadu’s collection

Rimzim Dadu Couture 2024 celebrates a seamless blend of historical opulence and modern innovation, merging Baroque architectural grandeur with Dadu’s avant-garde style. Each piece in the collection reflects meticulous craftsmanship, innovative design, and the enduring appeal of Baroque-inspired fashion. 

Drawing from Baroque architecture’s ornate and theatrical elements, the collection explores historical luxury through contemporary designs synonymous with the label. Dadu’s use of experimental textiles and advanced techniques transforms traditional motifs into modern masterpieces. The collection also honors Dadu’s 18-year journey by revisiting and reinventing some of her earliest creations, showcasing her studio, affectionately known as “the Lab,” as a hub for ongoing textile and surface experimentation.

Utilizing metallic yarns, steel wires, and traditional zardozi, the collection exemplifies Dadu’s exploration of materials. Each garment intricately incorporates Baroque carvings and gilded details, creating a tactile experience that mirrors the luminosity of Baroque interiors. The collection’s exaggerated silhouettes—corseted tops, modern lehengas, sculptural sarees, and menswear like sherwanis and tuxedos—are dominated by deep ruby reds, antique golds, and burnt oranges, echoing the richness of Baroque art and emphasizing the interplay of light and shadow, hallmarks of both Baroque design and Dadu’s distinctive aesthetic.
