A Symphony of Craft, Nature, and Renewal

The event featured an exhibit titled Wildscapes, an immersive spatial showcase curated by Swapna Anumolu and Sona Reddy. It guided attendees through a journey of decay and rebirth across the different zones of the store. The experience began in a hauntingly beautiful world of desolation—dry textures and muted tones symbolizing the stillness of endings. Gradually, this landscape transformed into a blooming garden, alive with vibrant color and vitality, evoking the triumph of renewal. This cyclical journey found its reflection in Mishru’s collection, where each ensemble told a story of resilience, evolution, and connection.

The journey through the installations was further elevated by sculptural furniture from Room Therapy Collective. These pieces, crafted using locally sourced materials and traditional Indian techniques, seamlessly blended into the exhibit, transforming the event into a cohesive ecosystem of fashion, art, and design. The collaboration underscored Mishru’s commitment to honoring Indian craftsmanship while reimagining it for the contemporary world.

“Resonance is deeply personal—it speaks to the beauty of life’s cycles and the power of renewal,” said Swapna Anumolu, founder and creative director of Mishru. “The installations, the craft, the artistry—they’re all part of the same narrative. Every piece in this collection is a tribute to nature’s ability to reclaim and revive, and to the joy that comes from movement, lightness, and transformation.”

Mishru’s mastery of embroidery and texture played a starring role in bringing this narrative to life. The collection featured a spectrum of techniques, including 3D embroidery, Parsi-Sujini-inspired detailing, and intricate jaals, culminating in a groundbreaking layering technique that created a mesmerizing interplay of color and form. Inspired by nature’s ever-evolving landscapes, the ensembles transitioned from somber earth tones to vibrant ombrés.

Beyond the installations, the collection itself embodied Mishru’s philosophy of lightness and movement. From ethereal bridal lehengas and corset-inspired silhouettes to fluid cocktail dresses and versatile jumpsuits, every piece was designed to celebrate the dynamism of modern life. The color palette—ranging from deep sapphires and rubies to earthy blacks and pastel ombrés—added depth and emotion, creating an experience that was as tactile as it was visual.
