Rahul Mishra presented his fall 2026 couture collection drawing from ancient Indian stone carvings. The show featured garments that recreated temple reliefs through silk embroidery and stone beads. Attendees included Cardi B and Isha Ambani.
The collection referenced cave temples at Ajanta and Ellora along with Gandhara figures. Artisans translated carved stone details into tonal gray silk embroidery on flowing gowns that mimicked weathered peplums.
Corseted bodices incorporated garlands made from natural stone beads. Ceremonial headpieces developed with artisan Sumant Kumar included three-faced designs and garlanded canopies.
Cardi B appeared in one of the looks after arriving on time. Isha Ambani wore a custom gray corseted piece. As executive director of Reliance Retail she has supported the designer's global growth.
