New Delhi, India Couture Week 2025 — When it comes to redefining Indian couture with cutting-edge artistry, Rimzim Dadu continues to set the bar higher. Known for her revolutionary use of unconventional materials, Dadu’s showcase at Hyundai India Couture Week 2025 left audiences mesmerized as she reimagined the traditional Patola weave of Gujarat through her iconic metallic textile techniques.
A Decade-Spanning Visionary
With over 17 years in the industry, Rimzim Dadu has carved a unique niche in Indian fashion. While she has long been celebrated for her experimental textiles, it was only in 2023 that she debuted at India Couture Week — and since then, her molten, futuristic couture has become one of the most anticipated showcases of the event.
The Art of Metal in Motion
Dadu’s creations are instantly recognizable — shimmering like molten metal yet flowing like fabric. The magic lies in her painstaking, labor-intensive process:
-
Disintegrating materials like steel, silicon, paper, or metal wires
-
Stripping them into fine cords, almost like yarn
-
Softening and weaving them back into fluid textiles
The result is couture that blurs the line between sculpture and fashion — garments that appear sculptural yet move gracefully with the wearer.
The Patola Reinvented
For her India Couture Week 2025 collection, Dadu paid homage to Patola, one of Gujarat’s most treasured handwoven traditions. By translating the double-ikat patterns into her signature metallic weave, she created a dialogue between heritage craftsmanship and modern innovation. The outcome was couture that celebrated India’s textile legacy while imagining what it could look like in the future.
A Show that Sparked Conversations
From the runway silhouettes to the glowing metallic textures, Rimzim Dadu’s collection became one of the most talked-about showcases of the week. It reaffirmed her reputation not only as a designer but also as a textile innovator, someone unafraid to dismantle the old to create something entirely new.
With her Patola-inspired metallic couture, Dadu once again proved why she is among the most visionary forces in contemporary Indian fashion.
