There is a specific moment in the midst of an Indian summer when a cool wind whispers through, bringing a feeling of instant, graceful relief. This is the soul of 'મલય | MALAY | मलय'.
This collection is dedicated to the art of silent glamour. The lightness of the being defines it. We chose a palette of cool pastels, sun-bleached earth tones, and vibrant summer prints to create silhouettes that not only drape the body, but also float around it.
This edit features structured Dhoti sets, Angrakhas, cowl-draped kurtas, and Tulip pants, paired with cropped jackets. These are designs that respect the anatomy of movement. Whether it is the rush of an office event or the ease of a family occasion, these silhouettes are engineered to float around the body, not confine it.
To create "lightness," we had to rethink the fabric itself. We chose a palette of cool, sun-washed hues - Mint Green, Sorbet Peach, and Morning Yellow - rendered in fabrics that feel cool to the touch.
There is no heavy ballast of embroidery here. Instead, we used Sheer Tissue and Lightweight Silks, accented with delicate mirror work and thread detailing. The beauty lies not in the decoration, but in the aura of the fabric itself, radiant, airy, and effortlessly royal.
"This collection was a creative challenge: how do we create volume without weight? The answer lay in the pattern making. We used cowls, pleats, and bias cuts to give the fabric a life of its own. Malay is not just about wearing a silhouette; it is about inhabiting a movement."
