Rahul Mishra drew inspiration for his fall 2025 couture collection from the philosophy of love as outlined in Sufism, which includes 7 stages: attraction, infatuation, love, trust, worship, madness, and death. Mishra was influenced by Gustav Klimt’s artwork, blending his aesthetic into the garments.
For the first time, he collaborated with milliner Stephen Jones for unique tulle pieces.
The designs included large lotus flowers and intricate floral embroidery, symbolizing the beauty of love, the collection also featured a gold sculptural heart-shaped dress and a black heart-like dress, emphasising love’s themes.
“Love is constant, it stays on forever,” noted Mishra.
