Celebrated Indian fashion designer Kr\u00e9sha Bajaj made her international debut at the recently concluded Dubai Fashion Week. Kr\u00e9sha showcased her first-ever pret line with the collection, The Archive of Hidden Things featuring 27 looks in total, each one part of the narrative arc of Revelation, Obsession, Liberation.<\/p>\n

Kr\u00e9sha\u2019s runway showcase was celebrated by her dear friend and muse, Samantha Ruth Prabhu who looked glamorously chic in one of the designer\u2019s new creations, called the \u2018Magic Top\u2019. Seated in the front row of the showcase, Samantha cheered on for Kr\u00e9sha through a series of images she posted on Instagram post the show.<\/p>\n

For Kr\u00e9sha, Dubai felt like home, so for her it wasn\u2019t about changing her design language, it was about expanding. Sharing her experience at Dubai Fashion Week, Kr\u00e9sha Bajaj opens up about her first-ever international showcase, foraying into pr\u00eat and having Samantha Ruth Prabhu by her side.<\/p>\n

How would you describe your first ever international showcase at Dubai Fashion Week?<\/strong><\/p>\n

It was overwhelming in the best way. Putting my work out there on an international stage felt both vulnerable and empowering at the same time. It was a reminder that fashion is universal. I think when something is honest and well-crafted, it speaks across cultures.<\/p>\n

How was it having your dear friend, Samantha Ruth Prabhu come support you and how has her presence in your life helped your brand and your friendship?<\/strong><\/p>\n

It was absolutely amazing. I can\u2019t imagine a big moment without her, it just wouldn\u2019t feel the same. Sam is brutally honest, which I love, and she\u2019s also my muse. She defines the KB [Kr\u00e9sha Bajaj] woman \u2013 powerful, determined, unapologetic, and always graceful. I have huge respect for her strength.<\/p>\n

What\u2019s the secret behind your undying love for the craft and how did it translate to The Archive of Hidden Things?<\/strong><\/p>\n

I\u2019ve always believed that the craft is the soul of what I do. The Archive of Hidden Things was about showing that beauty isn\u2019t always on the surface, sometimes it\u2019s in the lining, the structure, or the detail only the wearer knows about. That\u2019s where my love for handwork and construction really came through.<\/p>\n

Walk us through the pieces that defined the collection and were celebrated by Dubai Fashion Week.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The collection was broken into three chapters. Revelation was the dreamier side, with handmade embellished lace, nude tones, and soft colors. Obsession brought in structure through corsetry and exaggerated shoulders, while Liberation opened into metallics, flowing embellished pieces, and a little skin. I also introduced kaftans as an ode to Dubai. What was really special for me was that every single silhouette, whether it was a dramatic corset look, a softer lace dress, or a kaftan, was received with the same excitement. Because Dubai is such a global city, there was a place for every piece, and it felt like the diversity of the collection truly resonated.<\/p>\n

For Kr\u00e9sha Bajaj, ready-to-wear doesn\u2019t have to mean ordinary; it can carry the same intimacy and discovery as couture.<\/figcaption><\/div>\n<\/div>\n

From couture to pr\u00eat, how smooth or challenging was the transition?<\/strong><\/p>\n

It was actually extremely smooth because my heart has always been in pret. It\u2019s what I started with and what I love most, easy pieces, layering, mix-and-match separates, bold structure. At the end of the day, it\u2019s pr\u00eat with the soul of couture. In a way, it feels like I\u2019ve finally come back to designing in a way that\u2019s completely me. The last few years I\u2019ve been focused on bridal, which I truly love, but this collection reminded me where my soul really lies.<\/p>\n

Known for her intricate bridal and eveningwear, Kr\u00e9sha Bajaj translates her signature craftsmanship and emotional storytelling into a line of pr\u00eat pieces that balance artistry with wearability.<\/figcaption><\/div>\n<\/div>\n

How has conscious craftsmanship and repurposed designs crafted a sustainable future for the brand?<\/strong><\/p>\n

We\u2019ve always worked slowly and intentionally, but now we\u2019re more focused on repurposing, taking embroideries, fabrics, or even whole garments and giving them new life. It\u2019s not about chasing trends, it\u2019s about making pieces that can evolve with you. That\u2019s the most sustainable approach I can take.<\/p>\n

How was the feedback post the show, since this was your debut international showcase away from home?<\/strong><\/p>\n

The feedback has been incredible. People really responded to the mix of structure and softness in the collection. For me, the best part was hearing that the details, the hidden embroidery, the corsetry, the finishes, were noticed and appreciated, even by people who were seeing my work for the first time.<\/p>\n

One takeaway from Dubai Fashion Week that will always remain special.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The connection. Meeting people who had never seen my work before, and watching them connect with it on such a personal level, reminded me why I design. It was proof that fashion can cross borders when it\u2019s rooted in honesty and craft.<\/p>\n
