ALDO, the globally renowned footwear and accessories brand brought to the region by Apparel Group, launched its Spring-Summer 2026 collection in India with an exclusive brunch showcase in Mumbai, bringing together the city’s leading press, stylists, and tastemakers in a setting that felt true to the season: relaxed, social, and style-forward. The event was fronted by ALDO's brand ambassador, Rasha Thadani, whose contemporary aesthetic and ease of style have made her a natural fit for the brand. 

At the event, Rasha Thadani also unveiled her personal favourites from the collection, offering guests an intimate glimpse into her individual sense of style. Adding a spontaneous and spirited touch to the morning, she stepped behind the console to play alongside the DJ, a moment that captured the vibrant and celebratory spirit of the Sunrise Club.

The SS26 collection is a study in balance; bold enough to make a statement, versatile enough to carry you through a full day. The range spans sculptural heels, refined sandals, flat espadrilles, and everyday sneakers -each silhouette built around the idea that good design should not come at the cost of comfort. Underpinning the brand’s dedication to comfort is  ALDO's proprietary Pillow Walk™ Technology, a dual-layer foam insole with high-rebound cushioning, strategically placed at the ball and heel of the foot for all-day wearability.

Accessories take a confident turn this season. Satchels, crossbody bags, totes, and top-handle styles arrive in a considered palette of elevated neutrals, soft seasonal tones, and standout finishes designed to complement rather than compete with the footwear. The overall edit is lighter and more expressive, reflecting a shift towards individuality and ease in everyday & occasion dressing.

“For me, the new collection is all about embracing something new and expressing your personal style with confidence. What I love about this collection is how effortlessly it blends elevated design with comfort. It feels fresh, versatile, and perfectly in sync with how we dress today and make a statement.” Rasha Thadani, Brand Ambassador, ALDO India. 

“The launch of ALDO’s SS26 collection is a strategic milestone that reflects Apparel Group’s commitment to driving the premium retail narrative in India. ALDO remains a key pillar in our portfolio, designed to move effortlessly with our consumers while staying rooted in statement-led design.” Tushar Ved, President, Apparel Group India
