A curated evening of fashion, craft, and contemporary design at the city’s luxury retail destination
Bangalore : Phoenix Mall of Asia, Bengaluru’s leading destination for luxury retail and experiences, hosted an exclusive showcase of OTT’s SS26 collection by ace designer Tarun Tahiliani at its FAN Park. The presentation by Tarun Tahiliani, one of India’s most influential couturiers with a signature blend of Indian craftsmanship and tailored form, brought together fashion and contemporary design through a refined, fluid, and distinctly modern approach to Indian occasion wear.
Conceived as a study in movement, texture, and assured ease, the new collection reflects Tarun Tahiliani’s evolving expression of luxury prêt for the contemporary woman. Rooted in a nuanced palette of black, ivory, blush, sage, mocha, berry, coral, taupe, and gunmetal, the collection explores the interplay of softness and structure, where fluid silhouettes are grounded in precision and detail.
The collection moves across distinct expressions, from the after-dark fluidity of Cocktail to the organic lightness of Jardin, alongside Rabari’s tactile interpretations of craft and Interlace’s focus on layered lines and precise construction. Materiality remains central, with crinkled silks, foil jerseys, organzas, knits, and structured fabrics designed to drape, fold, and move with ease. Florals appear as subtle impressions, while asymmetric balances and restrained embellishments lend the collection its distinctive character.
Speaking on the collection, designer Tarun Tahiliani said, “OTT is created for a woman’s everyday-to-dinner wardrobe. The idea is for these pieces to mix and match seamlessly with what she already owns and with our collections designed season after season, eventually defining a distinctly modern, India-inspired way of dressing.”
As the evening unfolded and each look came into view, silhouettes moved with fluid ease, the fall of fabric catching and releasing light across textured surfaces. Layers settled into place, lines held their form, and each look found its rhythm through movement and material. The drape, finish, and construction revealed themselves gradually, drawing the eye through precision and detail.
Speaking on the showcase, Ritu Mehta, Centre Director – Phoenix Mall of Asia and Director of Marketing – South, said, “At Phoenix Mall of Asia, the focus is on bringing together fashion, design, and retail with a more considered expression of luxury, where each element is defined by its quality, relevance, and design integrity. AIRLOOM introduces a collection defined by movement, material, and silhouette, where craft and contemporary expression come through with clarity and precision, aligning with the level of fashion and detail we continue to bring into the space.”
With this showcase, Phoenix Mall of Asia continues to bring landmark fashion moments into focus, where design, craft, and contemporary style come together with clarity and intent.
