FROM THE RUNWAY TO BANARAS
Fashion Week fever is in the air. From New York to Milan and beyond, the runways have spoken, and we’re listening. This season, global runway DNA meets Indian traditions, with fun, fearless style. At Ekaya, we’re not just following trends, we’re weaving them into sarees that are wearable artworks.
Here are the standout trends making their way from the runway to the wedding aisle, reinterpreted the Ekaya way.
Onto the Wild Side
Animal Prints That Roar Back
Animal prints are having a major moment, spotted everywhere from accessories to ready-to-wear. At Ekaya, we’ve translated this bold runway trend into silk sarees that feel equal parts playful and rooted in heritage. Think leopard and cowhide motifs reimagined into drapes that are sexy, versatile, and unmistakably modern.
Style Tip: Balance the drama of animal prints with clean silhouettes, pair with a minimalist blouse or corset for an edgy yet elegant look.
Polka Dots
Vintage, Yet Utterly Now
Polka dots are back, and they’re dominating wardrobes this season. This timeless motif has been reimagined at Ekaya with saree sensibility, delicate scattered dots, bold oversized patterns, and luxe gold brooch-style accents. It’s a playful nod to retro glam with a modern twist.
Style Tip: For a statement finish, style your polka dot drape with bold eyeliner and a sleek bun, it’s vintage meets contemporary chic.
All Laced Up
With Femininity and More
Romance returned to the runway this year, with lace stealing the spotlight. At Ekaya, lace-inspired motifs, sheer textures, and delicate flourishes weave their way into Banarasi silks. The result? Drapes that embody modern femininity, balancing strength with grace, softness with power.
Style Tip: Pair lace-detailed sarees with pearl jewellery for a refined look, or break convention with metallic accents for contrast.
Powder Pink Romance
The Seasonʼs Most Romantic Hue
Powder pink is the colour story of the season—soft, feminine, and timeless. At Ekaya, we’ve given this delicate hue a Banarasi update, creating powder pink sarees that are versatile enough for both festive and intimate occasions.
Style Tip: Style your pink drape minimally with nude tones for daytime, or elevate it with layered jewelry for evening glamour.
Minimalism is Back
Because Less Is Always More
Minimalism has reclaimed its space on the runway, and at Ekaya, we’ve translated it into silks that let subtlety shine. Understated drapes, monochrome palettes, and plain yet powerful weaves embody an aesthetic where every fold feels intentional.
Style Tip: Pair a minimal monochrome saree with architectural jewellery or sharp tailoring to make subtlety your statement.
Fall-Forward Styling
Outerwear Over Sarees
The fall runways were dominated by trench coats, blazers, and leather jackets, and layering is the season’s most powerful move. At Ekaya, we’re styling sarees with outerwear to prove they’re not just for spring. Belt it with a trench, drape under a structured blazer, or pair with a jacket to make an unforgettable entrance.
Style Tip: Experiment with contrasts, fluid silks under structured outerwear strike the perfect balance between tradition and modernity.
Fashion weeks may be wrapping up, but these trends are just beginning to find their place at Ekaya, each one styled, woven, and reimagined our way.
