Capping the day’s deliberations was an enthralling evening of entertainment, curated in association with Radico Khaitan Ltd., which brought together the Worlds of Fashion and Fine Spirits. The highlight of the evening was ‘The Spirit Awakens’, a conceptual fashion showcase by celebrated designer Jyoti Sachdev Iyer.
Celebrated for her seamless fusion of global artistic narratives, Jyoti debuted a show-stopping collection that reimagined Radico’s most iconic spirits through the lens of high fashion. Models glided between the audience, transforming the space into a living, breathing runway where every look told the story of a spirit—whether it was the crisp allure of Magic Moments Vodka, the opulent depth of Rampur Double Cask, or the regal sophistication of Royal Ranthambore Heritage Collection Whisky.
Each ensemble mirrored the essence of its muse through daring silhouettes, rich fabrics, and intricate detailing, making the garments as layered and expressive as the spirits themselves. A live saxophonist underscored the show with sultry, soulful notes, weaving together fashion, spirits, and lifestyle into an atmosphere that was immersive, intoxicating, and unforgettable. This wasn’t just a show—it was a celebration of craftsmanship, elegance, and the art of living well.
Speaking on the showcase, Designer Jyoti Sachdev Iyer said, “‘The Spirit Awakens’ was more than a fashion showcase, it was a tribute to craftsmanship and creativity. Drawing inspiration from Radico’s exceptional spirits, we aimed to create a visual and emotional journey where each garment tells a story.”
