Move over minimalism. Duchess Kumari, a newly launched fashion label co-founded by actor Adhyayan Suman and former Miss Universe India contestant Divita Rai, is reimagining Indian fashion with a Victorian flourish. Think: puffed sleeves, pearl bows, polka dots, and a sense of regality that’s both nostalgic and trend-forward.
🎬 Born From a Love Story—Literally
The idea for the label took shape during the filming of Love Story of 90’s, where Divita and Adhyayan discovered a mutual passion for fashion. The duo looked to Adhyayan’s mother, designer Alka Suman, who has been designing for years under her label Alkaline, as their inspiration.
“Alka aunty had an incredible collection of Indian fabrics—brocade, Chanderi, ikkat—that she worked with as a passion project,” says Divita. “We wanted to take that base and elevate it with global appeal.”
✨ The Duchess Kumari Aesthetic
True to its name, Duchess Kumari fuses Indian textiles with Western Victorian design. The result is a visual treat—affordable luxury with old-world glam. The debut collection offers:
-
Brocade lehengas with puffed sleeves
-
Raw silk cocktail dresses with pearl-studded bows
-
Kaftan pant sets with ruffle detailing
-
Chanderi polka dot skirts
-
Embellished pantsuits and jacket sets
The label’s design DNA focuses on romantic femininity, with opulent fabrics, statement silhouettes, and timeless details like pearls, crystals, and dainty trims.
🧵 The Craft, Reimagined
The brand divides its offerings across:
-

-
High Fashion Editorial Pieces

What sets Duchess Kumari apart is how it doesn’t shy away from maximalism—it embraces it. Every piece tells a story, marrying Indian craftsmanship with Western elegance.
Whether you’re headed to a destination wedding or a rooftop soirée, the label’s collection offers fashion moments worthy of a royal wardrobe refresh.
