In a groundbreaking event, Anjali Phougat’s fashion label, ‘Designer Dream Collections,’ captivated the audience at Paris Fashion Week. The brand’s debut was not just a showcase of style but a cultural symphony, marrying Indian aesthetics with contemporary fashion. A Cultural Odyssey Through Fashion Anjali Phougat, the visionary behind the label, shared her exhilaration about introducing Indian fashion to the global stage. “It was a monumental day for us,” she said. The collection, dubbed ‘Ascension Chapter 2,’ drew inspiration from the spiritual Shivratri festival, with a focus on the ‘Third Eye Awakening.’ The use of blue hues and intricate third-eye embroidery on dresses and gowns created a unique blend of Eastern and Western fashion sensibilities. Phougat’s passion for cultural exchange shone through, emphasizing that awakening transcends religious boundaries. Teamwork Makes the Dream Work The success of the collection can be attributed to the collaborative spirit of the team, which included two female designers. One designer showcased exquisite silver handcrafted jewellery from Izwari, while Oceana, an Indian brand, presented their elegant clutches. This synergy of talents contributed to the collection’s remarkable reception. Historic Moments and Showstoppers The fashion week was marked by several historic moments.

Anjali Phougat is a designer who believes in the power of storytelling. Her latest collection, showcased at New York Fashion Week, was inspired by her spiritual journey and the concept of “Aarohan Adhyay”, which means ascension in Hindi. From Darkness to Light: The Theme of Aarohan Adhyay Anjali Phougat explained that her collection reflects her transformation after she turned 40 and became more interested in spirituality. She said, “It is interesting because it resonates with my spiritual awakening journey, where, after 40, I had more interest in spirituality.” She added that the theme of Aarohan Adhyay represents the process of rising from the night of the soul, a phase of hardship and difficulties, to the light of enlightenment and awareness. She said, “The theme itself says ascension right before your awakening; you see the bright light inside you. There’s a phase called the night of the soul, where you face hardship and difficulties. I feel difficulties help you build your resilience. I tried to portray the Night of the Soul by putting on all the black pieces. I tried to narrate that story visually about the night of a soul.” She continued, “The dark phase is very deep, where you […]
