After revolutionising Indian menswear couture for over 25 years, Shantnu Nikhil has now turned the spotlight to an underserved category in Indian fashion – Red Carpet Couture for Women.
“For over two decades, we’ve built a stronghold in men’s couture, constantly challenging conventions with our structured silhouettes and India-proud narratives. During this time, we have also seen a growing demand from women who resonated with our language of strength and subtle rebellion. Luxe is a new language, built for women who want to feel powerful, sensual, and unconfined,” says Shantnu Mehra, adding, “It’s our ode to the women who have inspired us, supported us, and pushed us to expand our creative vocabulary.”
For Nikhil Mehra, Shantnu Nikhil Luxe is their most evocative expression yet. “It is bold, dramatic, and deeply feminine. “It’s about owning your narrative on your terms,” adds Nikhil Mehra.
When asked the reason behind having Wamiqa Gabbi as the face of the campaign, Nikhil Mehra says, “In Wamiqa, we found the perfect woman to represent that spirit, fierce, stylish, and emotionally rooted in her identity, much like the women we design for. With Luxe, we’ve pushed the boundaries of structure and fluidity to create red carpet couture that’s not just seen, but remembered. It’s not an extension – it’s a mood, a moment, a movement”.
Every silhouette adorned by Wamiqa was artistically styled by celebrated stylist Eka Lakhani. Speaking about the inspiration behind Wamiqa’s stylish looks in the campaign, Eka expresses, “I wanted the look to feel unapologetically glam, but with some rawness. Keeping it real, like it’s been lived in, not just posed. It’s high fashion at first glance, glam and polished, but never too perfect.”
