Rohit Bal's poetry in thread lives on through Arjun Rampal this couture season
At Hyundai India Couture Week 2025, Arjun Rampal took to the runway not just as a showstopper, but as a long-time friend paying homage to one of Indian couture's most iconic voices. The actor closed Rohit Bal's posthumous collection, Kash-Gul, wearing a black velvet sherwani that was both visually arresting and emotionally who passed away last year, had always used fashion to tell deeply personal stories. The maestro might not be among us anymore, but the creative team made sure his presence was felt through the collection, and they did a pretty brilliant job of upholding the label's design language that it stands for.

The velvet bandhgala was paired with matching black trousers and dark, polished boots. This is what you would call regal meets dandy. Rampal's cropped hair, faded sides, and subtle scruff lent the look a contemporary sharpness. Remembering his friend and mentor, Rohit Bal, the actor shared how, when the showstopper outfit arrived before last night's show, it had quintessential 'Gudda's fragrance'. It was, as he put it, like wearing a piece of his friend, his mentor, his Rohit Bal's posthumous showAs label, this was their first showcase on the runway after the death of the ace designer last year. It's rare, in the Indian fashion industry for a designer-led label to sustain itself after the passing of its founder, let alone continue with full-scale runway that's exactly what's happening with Rohit Bal's eponymous brand. In the absence of a named successor, the label is now being steered by an internal design team along with a newly appointed creative director, Fraze Tasnim, and they are quietly yet confidently keeping the wheels turning. View this post on Instagram A post shared by FDCI (@fdciofficial)Rohit Bal's label has managed to preserve its core design language, rich Kashmiri influences, hand embroidery, and a sense of theatrical elegance, without needing to radically rebrand or hand over the reins to a celebrity creative head or a conglomerate. Instead, it's relying on institutional memory and in-house continuity to carry forward the fashion houses like Christian Dior, Chanel, Givenchy, and Louis Vuitton have shown that legacy brands can thrive well beyond their founders, provided the right creative stewardship is in place.- EndsTrending Reel
