Wamiqa Gabbi’s debut of Shantnu Nikhil Luxe embodies sculpted splendor.
The new fashion of actor Wamiqa Gabbi is described as “rebelliously glamorous.” With the debut of Shantnu Nikhil Luxe, Wamiqa encapsulates the elegance of women’s red carpet fashion. The actor is the campaign’s face and makes a stunning appearance in six legendary red carpet ensembles.
“Wearing Luxe feels like stepping into your most confident self,” says Wamiqa Gabbi, who is the brand ambassador for Shantnu Nikhil Luxe. It is chiseled, sensual, and utterly freeing. I’m honored to represent a company that is expanding the possibilities of Indian couture for women, and every silhouette feels like a statement.
After more than 25 years of transforming Indian menswear couture, Shantnu Nikhil has now focused on Red Carpet Couture for Women, an underappreciated subset of Indian design.
“With our rigid silhouettes and India-proud stories, we have established a stronghold in men’s couture for more than 20 years, consistently defying expectations. Women who identified with our language of strength and subtly rebellious behavior have also been increasingly demanding throughout this time. “It’s our ode to the women who have inspired us, supported us, and pushed us to broaden our creative vocabulary.” Shantnu Mehra says, “Luxe is a new language, developed for women who want to feel powerful, sensual, and unconfined.”
Shantnu Nikhil Luxe is Nikhil Mehra’s most expressive work to date. It is strikingly feminine, theatrical, and audacious. Nikhil Mehra continues, “It’s about owning your narrative on your terms.”
“In Wamiqa, we found the perfect woman to represent that spirit, fierce, stylish, and emotionally rooted in her identity, much like the women we design for,” Nikhil Mehra says when asked why Wamiqa Gabbi was chosen to be the campaign’s face. We’ve pushed the limits of structure and flow with Luxe to produce red carpet couture that people remember. It’s a movement, a feeling, or a moment rather than an extension.
Renowned fashionista Eka Lakhani creatively dressed each silhouette that Wamiqa donned. “I wanted the look to feel unapologetically glam, but with some rawness,” Eka says while discussing the idea behind Wamiqa’s chic looks in the campaign. maintaining authenticity, as if it had been lived rather than merely staged. At first glance, it appears to be high fashion—glamorous and polished, but never too flawless.
