Abu Jani and Sandeep Khosla belong to a rare lineage of artists whose work forms an exquisite bridge between tradition and refinement. For more than three decades, the duo has shaped the identity of Indian couture through a devotion to artisans, ancestral techniques, and textile histories that illuminate the cultural splendour of India.

Below are a few remarkable moments that reveal the magnificence of their recent work.

Tabu at Art Mumbai: ‘A Thousand & One Nights’

Tabu walking for Abu Jani Sandeep Khosla at Art Mumbai felt like a moment woven into destiny. Draped in chamois satin and crepe de chine, illuminated with silver hand embroidery and a reimagined Architectural coat encrusted with a constellation of crystals, she embodied a nocturnal dreamscape brought to life. Every glimmer, every fold, and every movement celebrated the designers’ majestic understanding of fabric, form, and fantasy.

Isha Ambani’s Phulwari Ensemble: Romance Made Eternal

For Isha Ambani, the designers envisioned a creation that expressed romance through serene craftsmanship. Her blush satin ensemble, inspired by the Phulwari embroidery that has defined some of their most beautiful collections, radiated vintage rose Zardozi, pearls, sequins, and quiet luminosity. Every detail, from the softness of the colour to the elegance of each floral motif, honoured her grace while reflecting the artists’ devotion to beauty offered with sincerity and gentleness.

Alia Bhatt’s Dhakai Jamdani: A Loom’s Devotion

Alia Bhatt’s Dhakai Jamdani saree, woven patiently over three months, stood as a tribute to one of India’s most sacred weaving traditions. Golden motifs emerged directly from the loom, complemented by a border enriched with Zardozi and a delicate Chikankari blouse. The ensemble carried the presence of the weaver’s breath, rhythm, and artistry, transforming Alia into a moving ode to time-honoured mastery.

Radhika Ambani’s Marodi Ensemble: A Craft of Elegant Luxury

Radhika Ambani’s rose-pink tissue ensemble from Abu Jani Sandeep Khosla stands as a tribute to the depth of India’s hand-embellished traditions. The designers shaped this piece with Marodi embroidery, its raised curves giving the fabric a distinct sculpted texture. Real Tamba Tikki sits within the motifs, adding a warm metallic glow that moves gently across the surface.
