Love, culture and style come together in a collection made for real meaningful celebrations, says SAKSHI PRIYA
What if love could cross borders and timelines - boldly, visually and with the power of design? What if clothing could carry the weight of shared stories, traditions and a collective longing for connection?
ONE LOVE, Abhinav Mishra’s latest collection, speaks of unity and individuality. In a time when identities are often boxed in, this campaign opens its arms wide. Shot at a destination with talent from both India and Pakistan, the collection brings together people and narratives - where race, religion and nationality give way to shared joy.
From the very first look, ONE LOVE evokes deep emotion. Signature mirror-work spans lehengas and tailored kurtas, reflecting light and mood. Each piece carries emotion, memory, and meaning. There’s a rhythm in the fabric, a quiet message in every detail.
The silhouettes are fluid- delicate yet confident, regal with ease. The womenswear includes bold blouses with plunging necklines, layered textures, and lehengas designed to move. There’s structure, but it never feels rigid. Whether it’s a dupatta with floral motifs or a skirt decorated with geometric beadwork, each look feels created for significant moments.
Menswear speaks with equal strength. Embellished kurtas in deep hues are layered with embroidered Nehru jackets and accents that honour heritage while reflecting individuality. Mishra’s approach is inclusive —everyone has a place in the celebration.
The colour palette transitions between romantic ivories, strong blacks, soft pastels, and jewel tones. The shades feel rooted in memory while looking to the future. Silks, wool blends, and tactile fabrics carry each garment with depth. The pieces are designed to flow with real movement and real life.
And what brings this vision alive are the people. Pakistani stars like Ayeza Khan, Mawra Hocane, Kinza Hashim, Danyal Zafar, and Indian talent come together to shape a story of shared expression. Mishra doesn’t describe connection - he shows it. The energy, the ease, the sincerity - it’s all there in every frame.
“There’s a piece of my journey in this campaign,” Abhinav says. The honesty in that sentiment is visible in the design, the casting, the narrative. ONE LOVE feels like a conversation - quiet, layered, and meaningful.
What does it take for fashion to become more than just fabric and form? Perhaps it’s this, a campaign where emotion is sewn into every stitch and culture into every curve.
This collection marks a powerful moment in Mishra’s design journey - an intersection of emotion, craft and collaboration. It speaks of love without labels, of celebration without borders.
Could this be the direction fashion needs - design with depth and dialogue? ONE LOVE offers an answer.
