Gauri & Nainika unveiled their signature artistry at the runway at Lakmē Fashion Week in partnership with FDCI with an enchanting collaboration with global brand Mothercare. For Spring–Summer 2026, the designers drew inspiration from the romance of painted canvases, dark roses, moody still lifes, and light-filled florals to create miniature edits for little girls that echo the richness and elegance of the house’s celebrated mainline collections. The line introduced children’s wear that mirrors the sophistication of their womenswear. Oil-on-canvas inspired prints inspired by Renoir palettes, lend depth and drama while maintaining modern ease, ensuring the pieces are both timeless and relevant.

Crafted in silk organza, tulle, chiffon and silk mikado, the dresses feature full skirts and delicate detailing, including bows, ruffles, lace, and velvet accents. Classic black-and-white polka dots punctuate the collection, offering a bold, graphic counterpoint to the painterly florals and a playful twist on elegance.

For the runway presentation at Lakmē Fashion Week x FDCI, little girls walked hand-in-hand with models, wearing miniature versions of the house’s evening-wear - full skirted dresses with grosgrain and velvet ribbon accents and voluminous duchess satin dresses in deep, regal hues. This interplay between the mainline and children’s wear celebrates femininity that is dramatic, romantic, and enduringly elegant, creating a magical dialogue across generations. This is a collaboration that aims to capture the essence of Gauri & Nainika’s world through the wonder of childhood.

The latest spring summer 2026 collection by Gauri & Nainika in collaboration with Mothercare catered to generations as it bridged the styling and silhouettes that captured the beauty of childhood.
