Known for their contemporary and youthful design aesthetics, each collection is refreshing and a pleasant surprise. Pastel shades, shine, exquisite techniques and grand silhouettes with statement sleeves and shoulders characterise their designs.


Their new collection symbolizes a new dawn with a longing for a bright future. With enticing silhouettes and the lustre of unique handmade embellishments, Afterglow pushes boundaries of craft with a quest to win the heart of a bride who appreciates symbolic and cultural identities and values authenticity.


Exceptional techniques of origami folding, handcrafted appliqués and latticework in new age materials with iridescent sheen, add embellishment and glamour to the creations. However, the brand stays true to the eco-friendly approach as the duo used the excess generated while creating the garments as the material for embroidery.


Featured in the new line are a range modern and contemporary silhouettes including trailing jackets and capes, flowing skirts with new blouses in an array of metallic hues such as chromatic gold, pearl pinks, dove greys and ruby reds - inspired by the Afterglow of a sunset lingering on the horizon.

Speaking about their collection, Pankaj & Nidhi said "We are very excited to launch our collection- Afterglow at  India Couture Week 2021.  We have worked very hard to create each piece & look forward to seeing everyone's response .The collection incorporates our signature techniques in newer silhouettes and colours."
