The collection seamlessly blends traditional elements with contemporary couture, showcasing Dadu’s signature material innovation and storytelling through fashion.
Inspiration and Design Philosophy

Dadu reimagines these elements through a sculptural lens, focusing on form, depth, and narrative integration. The collection features fluid yet architectural silhouettes crafted from steel, metallic wires, and custom textiles, resulting in garments that are both tactile and emotionally resonant.

The color story of ‘Oxynn’ moves in deep, burnished tones, including oxidized silver, aged gold, deep red, gun-metal, and jewel-like midnight hues. Silhouettes range from pre-draped saris and lehengas to tailored jackets, sculpted blouses, and modular suits, offering versatility and modernity.
Showstopper and Presentation
The collection was showcased on the runway with actress Khushi Kapoor as the showstopper, adding a contemporary flair to the traditional designs. The presentation highlighted the fusion of heritage and modernity, with models donning intricate metallic ensembles that captured the essence of Banjara craftsmanship.
