OTT by Tarun Tahiliani, his luxury prêt label, returned to the Lakmē Fashion Week runway with Season 2, presenting a collection that embodies fluidity, versatility, and contemporary craftsmanship. Staying true to its philosophy of reimagining dressing as an act of daily reinvention, OTT continues to offer multi-wear separates that allow the modern woman to shape her own aesthetic narrative.
The show opened with a striking display of draped silhouettes and layered separates, setting the tone for OTT’s effortlessly elegant yet functional aesthetic. Models showcased the versatility of the collection on stage, re-styling pieces in real-time to demonstrate how garments could be layered, draped, and worn in multiple ways. This seamless integration of new pieces with selections from the archive and current collection reinforced OTT’s philosophy of building a sustainable wardrobe with timeless investment pieces.
The collection blended Indian and Western silhouettes in a distinctly India Modern manner. Draped gilets, fluid dresses, structured jackets, and layered separates exuded a sensual, romantic, and bohemian charm, catering to both young and mature wearers. Light, effortless, and versatile, Season 2 championed a modern approach to dressing, where thoughtful construction allows for constant reinvention.
At the heart of the collection was a deep-rooted commitment to craftsmanship and heritage. Hand-embroidered chikankari was reinterpreted in a contemporary design language, while Rabari craft was revived through vintage replicas and fresh, archive-inspired styles. The Singh Twins’ signature geometric prints, first introduced in Tarun Tahiliani’s 2015 collaboration, made a comeback in a delicate summer palette of ecru, blush, sage, and taupe, rendered on linen, Chanderi, georgette, organza, and jersey.
“This collection speaks to the multifaceted urban woman—her wardrobe evolving as she moves through life, accumulating pieces that reflect her journey and achievements. The act of buying fashion transforms into a deeply personal statement of self-expression.”- Tarun Tahiliani shared
