Shasha Gaba’s latest couture collection is a dream woven into reality, where delicate floral motifs, luxurious fabrics, and shimmering embellishments come together to craft an ethereal experience. “Every creation begins like a dream soirée—an exquisite celebration of artistry, luxury, and grace,” says the designer, whose meticulous craftsmanship shines through each piece. The journey begins with the gentle rustle of silk organza, the radiant sheen of modal satin, and the intricate texture of mukaish net. These fabrics are adorned with pearls, sequins, and crystals, creating a symphony of elegance that redefines modern couture.
The collection unfolds like a garden in full bloom. Serene mint hues take center stage with ethereal lehengas and saris, both featuring multicoloured floral embroidery that evokes the beauty of nature. “The mint tones in this collection represent serenity and grace, like a peaceful morning in a lush garden,” Shasha explains. In contrast, the vibrant yellow pieces radiate joy and exuberance, with peplum shararas, choker dupattas, and lightweight suit sets infused with intricate floral accents. “Yellow symbolises optimism and energy, perfect for those who seek to make a bold statement,” Shasha adds.
Timeless luxury is embodied in the ivory and gold palette, where corset gowns, lehengas adorned with 3D flowers, and golden jackets embroidered with pearl scallops exude classic opulence. As the sun sets, the deep midnight hues of noir and blue emerge, with capes shimmering in pearls, saris dazzling with tassels, and gowns adorned with 3D petals and gleaming crystals. “The midnight shades represent sophistication and the magic of the evening, capturing the allure of timeless glamour,” says Shasha.
What sets this collection apart is its seamless blend of modern elegance with traditional craftsmanship. From floral embroidery to 3D flower details, Shasha’s designs showcase exquisite techniques that celebrate the artistry of couture. “We work with intricate embellishments, such as hand-embroidered pearls and crystals, to add depth and dimension to each garment,” Shasha explains. “The cut-dana work and delicate floral motifs enhance the visual appeal, bringing each piece to life.”
The midnight hues of noir and deep blue hold particular significance in the evening wear section. “These colours evoke the elegance of twilight, and the shimmering details create a luminous effect, like dewdrops on petals,” Shasha shares. The fabrics, including chinnon, silk organza, and chanderi, are carefully chosen to enhance the overall luxurious feel, while the fine details of embroidery and braiding techniques add a sense of refinement.
The modern muse, according to the designer, is someone who embraces individuality and modern elegance. “Our designs are meant for women who seek to break away from conventional trends and celebrate their unique style. Each piece tells a story, reflecting the wearer’s personality and sense of grace,” she says.
The price starts at Rs 35,000. Available online.
