Tasva by Tarun Tahiliani showed its latest menswear collection at Lakmé Fashion Week in partnership with FDCI on 15 October 2026, at Taj Palace in New Delhi. The collection took traditional menswear and gave it modern silhouettes, intricate detailing and a refined colour palette, with the modern Indian groom and his evolving choices in mind. Actor Ali Fazal walked as showstopper, bringing the collection’s confidence, sophistication and effortless elegance to the runway.

A Wardrobe for the Many Celebrations of an Indian Wedding

The collection starts from a simple belief: occasionwear should reflect personal style while honouring tradition. It was built as a versatile wardrobe for the many celebrations that make up an Indian wedding.

Its references are the Tree of Life, the intricate artistry of Lipan Art, the fluidity of paisleys and the Art of Light. Floral, fluid and geometric artworks tie them into a single visual story, turning traditional references into pieces that look timeless and still fit a modern wardrobe.

Aari, Zardozi and Mirror Work

Indian artisanal techniques are at the centre of the collection: Aari work, Zardozi and mirror work, along with appliqué, pearl embellishments and three-dimensional detailing. These add texture and depth across the ensembles and show how heritage craft can sit alongside modern construction. Each garment pairs intricate surface ornamentation with clean lines and contemporary proportions.

The Colour Story

Soft shades of ivory, lilac, salmon and jade bring an understated elegance to the ensembles meant for daytime celebrations. Deeper jewel tones and vibrant accents set a more expressive mood for cocktail evenings and mehndi festivities. The range moves between subtle and statement dressing, which mirrors the variety of occasions and personal tastes in contemporary Indian weddings.

Sherwanis, Dinner Jackets and Indo-Western Looks

The silhouettes offer a fresh take on traditional menswear. There are classic sherwanis with asymmetrical details and sharp tailoring, sleek dinner jackets and contemporary Indo-Western ensembles. Structure meets ease, and the collection explores how familiar ceremonial styles can evolve for a new generation of grooms and celebrants, balancing the richness of Indian occasionwear with the versatility of modern dressing.

What FDCI, Tarun Tahiliani and Reliance Brands Said

With this showcase, Tasva by Tarun Tahiliani put forward a distinct view of modern Indian menswear, where tradition and innovation sit comfortably together. The collection reinforced the idea that contemporary Indian elegance lies in honouring one’s roots while embracing a personal sense of style.
