“The Gilded Era is my exploration of a quieter kind of luxury. I wanted to create pieces where craftsmanship speaks softly but leaves a lasting impression, where every embellishment, every texture and every silhouette feels intentional. The collection is inspired by the way light transforms a garment, revealing different dimensions with movement.” – Jayanti Reddy.
Jayanti Reddy presented her latest couture The Gilded Era at Hyundai India Couture Week, an FDCI Initiative at National Capital. Since her debut to HICW, she has surprised fashionistas with her designs by making sensible couture with impeccable details. Jayanti Reddy label is renowned for its elegant and understated approach to Indian occasion wear.
Jayanti’s The Gilded Era reflects a thoughtful dialogue between tradition and innovation. Rather than preserving craft as nostalgia or reinventing it for novelty, Jayanti Reddy evolves artisanal techniques for the modern woman, bringing together sculptural construction, fluid tailoring and intricate handwork in garments that feel timeless yet distinctly contemporary.
Bollywood actress Aditi Rao Hydari and actor Siddharth walked the ramp as showstoppers. Hydari wore a gold and beige ensemble with a structured top, flowing sharara skirt, zardozi and beadwork, while Siddharth appeared in an embroidered beige sherwani with draped trousers.
