Tabu Redefines Bridal Couture On The Ramp In A Mirrorwork And Brocade Anarkali

Under the glittering lights of Lakmē Fashion Week X FDCI 2025, ITRH by Ridhi Bansal and Mohit Rai, in collaboration with Lakmē Salon, unveiled Noor – A Signature Bridal Collection, which was a luminous celebration of Indian bridal artistry. At the heart of the show stood Tabu, whose poise and quiet magnetism transformed the runway into a stage of heritage and modernity.

Draped in an ethereal ensemble that shimmered with mirrored details, Tabu personified the soul of Noor: strength, grace, and timeless elegance. Every measured step, every gaze, radiated confidence, setting the tone for the collection’s narrative of luminous femininity.

Noor is anchored in exquisite Sheesh Pushida Jaal — a centuries-old

mirrorwork technique, elevated with gotta patti, dabka, zardozi, and patta patti detailing. Antique Banarasi brocades and delicate tissue fabrics lent a layered richness, giving each silhouette a tactile depth that felt contemporary yet deeply rooted in tradition. As Tabu walked, the reflections from thousands of mirrors caught the light like living poetry, translating artisan skill into runway drama.

Following Tabu, five showstoppers — Sakshi Sindhwani, Divya Gurwara, Pragya Kapur, Kaustav Dey, and Vibha Galhotra- carried forward Noor’s ethos. From Sakshi’s exuberant charm to Divya’s poised elegance, Pragya’s creative spark, Kaustav’s fearless individuality, and Vibha’s artistic gravitas, each embodied a facet of the modern bride: diverse, confident, and unapologetically herself. Together, they illustrated that Noor isn’t just a single story, but a celebration of myriad radiant selves.

Complementing the couture, Lakmē Salon’s beauty narrative mirrored the collection’s brilliance. Sculpted buns, cascading waves, jewel-toned accents, and delicate florals framed radiant skin and understated lips, while anti-frizz textures and soft glam finishes enhanced the couture’s luminous sophistication. The result was a bridal vision both modern and deeply personal, celebrating individuality while honouring heritage craftsmanship.

ITRH designers Ridhi Bansal and Mohit Rai emphasised the marriage of tradition and bold modernity. “Our aim is to give voice to Indian craft in a way that feels powerful, fearless, and contemporary,” shared Ridhi, while Mohit added, “Thousands of mirrors form a living tapestry, and this collection is not just fashion; it’s a statement.”

As Tabu’s final look swept the runway, the audience witnessed more than couture – they witnessed Noor: radiant, regal, and unapologetically empowered.
