Changing The Vision Of Beauty
Undoubtedly, the collection is paying homage to modern Indian women who are plus size and wish to feel free about their body shape and size and shine like their leaner counterparts. KALKI’s gold banarasi Indo-western silk saree drape not only addresses the problem related to ready-made plus size clothing available in India but also comes up with a new design, methodology, and approach to make all the voluminous ladies out there happy, fashionable, and sassy. Well, ladies ‘get set go’ to champion the cause and rule the runway like ‘never before’ with this fusion and modern saree drape featuring a long scallop border cape.
For The Women of ‘Today’
KALKI has many fashionable and vibrant stories to tell. And one out of those tales is none other than this layered balloon Indo-western gown. The asymmetric pattern, the uber-stylish hem, and the sculpted fit of the gown help celebrate the beauty of a woman beyond the norms and stereotypes. The shimmer, antique finish, the unique feathery neckline, and the luxurious handcraft entwine together for a magical and paradisiacal party outfit.
Beyond The Norms
Look what hijacked all the attention at LFW 2023. This beige trail gown in knee-length looks like an extraordinary showcase for confident, bold, and modern women. The offbeat length of the gown, the ethnic floral patchwork and embroidery, and the vintage trail together redefine the Indian style and empower women to get along with her creative spirit. With a fusion of Indian and Western elements; the trail gown appears glam, edgy, and gorgeous. Isn’t this fusion gown just perfect to celebrate life in all its glory?
Welcoming The Whirly & Whimsical Lehengas
KALKI’s collection at the Lakme Fashion Event was not only about the shimmer, glamour, and edginess but equally about India’s heritage through muted colours and intricate designs of the bridal lehengas. This bridal lehenga set in silk with organza flowers and 3D embroidery reflects a fusion of artistic and ethnic elements. Call it an exciting combination or an artistic expression; the beautifully designed lehenga aims to make women feel like a princess on their D-day.
Glitter & Glam For Men

Men can add an extra bit of shine to their personality with this Indo-western Jodhpuri outfit apt for weddings, receptions, sangeet, and other grand Indian occasions. Playful, modern, and slightly flirtatious; that is how we can define this ethnic as well as trendy outfit for men from KALKI’s latest men’s wedding and festive range.
Bringing Variations To Your Royal Style
As menswear has evolved to include more variety, designs, creativity, and embellishments; KALKI raises a toast with this beige-gold hand embroidered sherwani set. The best part is that, unlike heavy ethnic sherwanis, this uniquely designed sherwani set can be dressed up or down depending on the occasion. On one hand, the sherwani exudes regal opulence with all-over intricate handwork, and on the other, it reflects the edgy taste of modern men with a stylish front-open jacket. Overall, the sherwani set can be a luxe addition to the groom’s Indo-Western outfit collection.
Creating Cooler Concepts

KALKI renowned for its fearless use of colour, shape, cuts, design, and fabrics come up with this amazing Indo-western blazer and kurta set that leaves enough room for your imagination, desires, and style statement. In a nutshell, the dashing ensemble defines a marriage between an ethnic sherwani set and a formal blazer suit set.
