TL;DR:Designer Rahul Mishra just dropped his stunning new couture collection “Becoming Love” at Paris Haute Couture Week, blending #Sufism, classical art, and seven stages of love into dramatic silhouettes and rich embroideries. From Klimt-inspired gold threads to dreamy headpieces and soulful symbolism, Mishra’s show redefines Indian craft on a global stage 🌏❤️✨

❤️ Head-Turning Couture at Collège des Bernardins

Rahul Mishra’s fall/winter 2025‑26 couture line “Becoming Love” hit the Paris ramp on 7 July—and how! 🤩 Drawing inspiration from Sufism’s seven stages of love, the show was dripping with drama and emotion, and models strutted through a sacred old building that added mad depth to the vibes.

🧵 Embroidery Goals: Aari, Zardozi & More

This collection wasn’t shy—it featured opulent aari threadwork, zardozi, naqshi, dabka, and fareesha embroidery, with beads, pearls, kundan and sequins glowing on fabrics like silk organza, tulle, velvet, and satin—total #craftgoals! 🌟

🍂 Klimt + Sufism = Pure Art Magic

The golden halos, curved nets, and theatrical headpieces were a nod to Gustav Klimt, merging with the deep spiritual journey from attraction to death, interpreted through Sufism—seven intense stages woven into every stitch.

🎩 Stephen Jones X Mishra Collab!

Legendary milliner Stephen Jones created wild headpieces that added surreal elegance to the runway, making the collection ultra-theatrical and dramatic. Totally couture, totally epic. ✨

🌸 Symbolism in 3D Florals

3D flowers bloomed on gowns like poetic metaphors—resonating with #BecomingLove’s emotional narrative. Floral appliqués symbolised growth, beauty, and the journey of love. 🌺

🔥 Indian Craft, Global Stage

From the people’s perspective, Rahul’s work is raw and rooted. It represents everyday artisans in India getting global love. That’s what true equality feels like—craftspeople, not capitalists, steering the narrative. And mixing Sufism and spiritual symbols in couture—now that’s the kind of soulful revolution that uplifts communities, not just brands. 🙌
