Giselle Formals'25

Zumrud Ayin is a ritual of reinvention where tradition collides with couture. A pant-saree draped in luminous turquoise green satin cascades in sculptural folds, creating movement that is both commanding and effortless. The open-front jacket, detailed with silver botanical embroidery and crystal accents, frames the silhouette with regal precision, while the matching embellished potli completes the ensemble with ceremonial intent.

Siyah Ayin is a dialogue of opposites of light and shadow, purity and depth. The long ivory silhouette, patterned in subtle lattice textures, becomes a canvas for antique gold embellishment inscribed with the precision of sacred artistry. Draped across the shoulders, a sheer black dupatta, scattered with mukaish and boti, recalls a night sky in motion, while the handcrafted potli echoes its quiet opulence. This ensemble transforms contrast into a ceremony, an ode to mystery, grace, and presence. The look is grounded by oxblood jamawar pants, edged with an embellished border — a final note of richness that seals the ritual in mystery, grace, and power.

Bahar Ayin is a garden imagined in silk and gold. The black canvas becomes a stage where gilded florals, resplendent vines, and jeweled blossoms unfold in symphonic embroidery, each motif a fragment of ritual poetry. The detailing is not mere embellishment, but the architecture of bloom, structured with the precision of tapestry and the lyricism of miniature art. The dupatta, edged with olive jamawar borders running along its sides, is veiled in a delicate spray of boti and sitara, evoking a constellation scattered across night. Paired with a hot pink shalwar, its floral-embellished paincha glimmers like blossoms at the hem, grounding the ensemble in bold contrast. Bahar Ayin is spring reimagined as opulent, dramatic, and eternal.

Shab Ayin is a composition of depth and radiance stitched into jewel tones and luminous craft. The peacock teal shirt becomes the canvas, its neckline defined with ornate appliqué and embellishment, framing the form with regal geometry. An exaggerated dupatta in coral blush, drenched in mukesh work from edge to edge, descends like a veil of starlight, catching movement in every shimmer. Anchoring the silhouette is the turquoise-green trousers with embellished borders which ground the look in jewellike strength, a final note of richness to balance the ensemble’s luminosity. Together, these elements create a dialogue of color and craft, a silhouette that is radiant and commanding.

Ruya unfolds like a vision suspended between reality and reverie. A diaphanous cape of sheer net, drenched in crystals, glimmers like constellations in motion. Beneath, a slate-grey shirt gleams with silver embellishment, each motif etched as though in moonlight, with delicate florets hovering around the silhouette like mist caught in sparkle. Anchoring the ethereality, fluid satin pants in periwinkle twilight drape in sculptural precision, a modern counterpoint to the weightless shimmer above like a dream crystallized into form.

Khazan unfurls like the deep hush of fall. The long chocolate-brown shirt is strewn with elaborate mukaish, its surface shimmering like scattered sunlight through fading leaves. Zardozi boti sprays glimmer across the body, while appliquéd floral medallions burst forth in tonal embroidery, echoing the vibrancy of late blossoms before winter’s hush. The silhouette rests on plain raw silk V-cut pants, sleek, minimal, and architectural with their clean lines offering quiet balance to the intricacy above. Draped lightly above, a sheer mukaish dupatta ripples with shimmer, bordered in hand-sewn refinement. Its playful tassels, each delicately crafted, punctuate the look with movement, a spirited counterpoint to the ensemble’s grandeur.

Shadan evokes the grandeur of a bygone era, where every detail was a testament to festivity. The shirt glistens with intricate zardozi work, its surfaces enlivened with delicate accents of colored thread. Playful handmade tassels dangle in gentle motion, like jeweled whispers echoing the liveliness of mehfils past. The dupatta unfurls as a tapestry of nostalgia, bordered richly on all four sides, its expanse scattered with a dense spray of sequins and mukaish. The edges, kissed with delicate kiren, recall the heirloom finishes of treasured trousseaux, carrying with them the romance of old-school charm. Anchoring the ensemble is a farshi gharara, opulent in sweep and grandeur. Its voluminous flare is scattered with embellishment, culminating in a hem weighted with resplendent gota, each stripe gleaming with the brilliance of molten gold. A matching pouch is a final accent that echoes its vintage soul, proving no detail is left untouched.

Ayda is a radiant dialogue between heritage and modernity. The silhouette unfolds in gleaming tissue,with a front-open cut, traced with intricate handwork that runs along the sides and armholes, lending a sculptural sharpness to its fluid form. A sheer tissue dupatta drifts effortlessly with its surface scattered with crsytals that sparkles like stardust dissolving into a pale horizon. Flowing beneath the wide flared tissue pants descend into a refined border, their subtle gleam lending structure and refinement to the ensemble’s airy grace.
