Rahul Mishra’s brand Afew presents Fall/Winter 2025 collection at LFW X FDCI 2025
Taking the audience on a journey along the historic Silk Route, Afew, the brand by Designer Rahul Mishra presented his Fall/Winter 2025 collection at LFW X FDCI 2025 in collaboration with Nexa. With Bollywood actress Janhvi Kapoor turning showstopper for the show, the collection showcased a blend of textile traditions and global aesthetics.
Exploring the cultural exchange facilitated by the Silk Route, Mishra's collection merged Indian Bandhani and Japanese Shibori textile techniques while drawing inspiration from European art, particularly Henri Rousseau's jungle scenes. The designs of this collection featured sculptural proportions for both men and women, reflecting the fluidity of historical trade and cultural exchange.
Janhvi Kapoor walked the ramp for the show’s finale in a striking black robe that revealed a shimmering, high-slit gown, adding a touch of contemporary elegance to the collection's dramatic silhouettes.
The runway's decor featured blind-spot mirrors, a nod to Nexa's automotive technology, symbolizing the intersection of past and future. Partho Banerjee of Maruti Suzuki highlighted the alignment of Nexa's innovation and luxury with Mishra's design philosophy.
Held in Mumbai from March 26-30, 2025, LFW X FDCI 2025 featured a range of designers, including Tarun Tahiliani's OTT, Saaksha & Kinni, and S&N by Shantnu Nikhil, among others.
The event served as a platform for showcasing India's diverse and innovative fashion landscape.
