Indian couture has changed a lot these days. You not only find a western influence in it but also you get a touch of Indian values in it. Nowadays the amalgamation and fusion of ideas and ideologies make the Indian couture industry so breath-taking. Now let me take you through the 10 best Indian Couturiers of India, who are a must-buy to adorn your closet and fashion statement. They are the pioneers of this evolving industry.

1. Sabyasachi

The name doesn’t need an introduction. He has built ahead of a legacy for himself. I think every kid or bride aims to wear something from this brand once in a lifetime.

Sabyasachi as the coveted designer label has successfully made its place in the Indian and international fashion market. The label understands well needs of the modern market and lends them unique alternatives. Marking its prominence in the couture fashion arena, it provides a wide range of categories to select from. The Sabyasachi couture collections showcase a beautiful affair of understated designs blended with rich Indian textiles.

His designs are self-interpretative and seem to come straight out of a tale. Whether it is a vintage collection or a royal wedding collection, Sabyasachi creations come across as an aesthetic interpretation of the rich heritage of Indian art and culture. Providing a wide array of categories from lehengas, kurtas, Anarkali, gowns, and sarees, he exhibits a palette of distinctive styles with utmost elegance.

2. Tarun Tahiliani

I love the way Tarun Tahiliani Studio took a moment to think about the modern age bride and curated bridal wear that speaks of lightness, joy, and comfort and depicts the free spirit of the modern bride. You can see how wonderfully the exquisite pieces have been taken from original hand-painted motifs done at the studio and delicately hand embroidered.

3. Manish Malhotra

This was honestly a super hard list to make as every designer in this list is nothing less than a magician himself. My favorite from his collection is Ruhaaniyat. Ruhanniyat is the celebration of life, a collection that revives the slow and purist workmanship of our Indigenous craftsmen and artisans. It brings the real fraction of the Awadhi Punjabi repertoire with voluminous silhouettes, deft embroidery, and fine layering.

4. Falguni & Shane Peacock

A luxury label that creates bespoke, designer, ethnic Indian Couture. The brand carries the signature use of feathers, sequence,s and prints. Integral to the peacock culture is the juxtaposition between contrasting elements: fragility and strength, tradition and modernity, fluidity and severity. Falguni Shane peacock’s sensibility, combined with a touch of high octane glamour and our devotion to rock and roll and slightly wicked charm makes their clothes perfect for a superstar.

5. Gaurav Gupta

Gaurav Gupta is another big name in the industry that has taken the fashion industry in a big way. Gaurav Gupta, the man, and the brand have carved a world that is future primitive, reflected through sculpture-like garments with a sense of infinity and rhythm. Merging indigenous Indian construction and embellishing techniques with his idea of the future, Gaurav has delivered and sustained a world that is Indian at its core and boundless in its form.

6. Abu Jani & Sandeep Khosla

ASAL, a luxury fashion label from the House of Abu Jani Sandeep Khosla. It carries forth the design philosophy of meticulous embroideries, accented with hand-made craftsmanship to create fine clothing that is current and timeless. ASAL is edgier. Whilst its roots lie in the classical, it breaks away by offering a smorgasbord of silhouettes. ASAL is quite simply the real thing. Designed for real people who want the unreal from Abu Jani & Sandeep Khosla.

7. JJ Valaya

JJ Valaya puts forth a different notion of luxury something that Intarticulates magic and a lifetime experience. One of my favorites is the Rumeli collection where you can witness the blending of Turkish elements with riches from the Balkans, it was a testimony of opulence. With this line, the couturier expanded his Ottoman-inspired collection called ‘Rumeli’, adding a lot of glamour to the fashion week.

The collection which he described as “a piece of history so special that it inspires pieces of art today” presented an amalgamation of rich fabrics, intricate detailing, and age-old embroideries. A celebration of royalty and glory, ‘Rumeli’ is a showcase of garments that dictate timeless style. The Rumeli Festive collection presents classic embroideries, rich fabrics, intricate details, and exquisite prints.

8. Amit GT

Amit GT is a celebrated fashion designer based in India and renowned for his eponymous luxury fashion houses across the world.

Under the Amit GT couture label, he creates elegant and exquisite ready-to-wear and couture collections. His work has been worn by many Hollywood celebrities such as Rachel Weisz, Eva Longoria, and Rosario Dawson as well as several Bollywood stars including Deepika Padukone and Kareena Kapoor Khan.

9. Anita Dongre

Her brand is a magical amalgamation of traditional artistry and contemporary elegance. Her wedding couture is inspired by the rich heritage of Rajasthan. Every weave has a story to tell.

10. Amit Aggarwal

Amit Aggarwal, also commonly referred to as AA, is a Delhi-based couturier, who is renowned for his iconic and glamorous fashion wear. The head office of Amit Aggarwal Store is in Delhi and the flagship store of Amit Aggarwal is in Mehrauli. This very talented and renowned fashion designer swears by the concept of sustainable fashion wear. His ethos reflects in his creation.

He uses the most stunning recycled material to create modern silhouettes that are adorned with traditional Indian craftsmanship. The combination of the Silhouette cut, the pattern of the outfit flow, the strategic placement of the floral motifs and other elements as well as the metallic fabric makes the creation from this fashion label truly mind-blowing and a timeless fashion.

Fashion seasons can come and go but Amit Aggarwal's outfit will remain fashionable even after 2 decades from now and outshine the new designer wear of those times. The designer is also known for his out-of-the-box bridal collection which is a fusion of traditional and contemporary design ideas. I know you’re as amazed as I’m, all the pieces are authentic, unique, and depict the story of amazing craftsmanship.
