The official fashion week calendar for this year kick-started with House of Glenfiddich Presents FDCI India Men's Weekend 2026. A two-day fashion extravaganza where India's finest menswear designers set the tone for the coming season. The Men's Weekend happens to be the only menswear fashion show in the country and in its fourth edition, the designs showcased were a celebration of Indian craftsmanship and modern menswear silhouettes.
The highlights
Designer Amit Hansraj made his menswear debut inspired from indigenous craft of Bandhani. His collection followed the journey as the dot travelled, depicted through crafts like Shibori, Black printing and Lehariya. Designer Nitin Bal Chauhan took inspiration from the temple of Chhatradi. Wood carvings and miniature paintings from the temple have been translated into obscure prints. The finale showcase by Abraham & Thakore reinterpreted the traditional Indian lungi and juxtaposed the everyday garment with a formal shirt or jacket to create a look that was eclectic and deeply rooted in tradition.
The rise of jewellery in menswear
Several designers including Ashish Soni, Siddartha Tytler, Sahil Aneja and Pawan Sachdeva incorporated interesting neckpieces, earrings and headgears in their collection. Layered chains peeking through open collars, and stacked cuffs reframed jewellery as integral rather than optional. The decorated man wasn’t theatrical, he was deliberate. Styling choices added narrative depth, turning minimalist fits into conversation starters.
Fluidity in menswear
Designers also leaned towards fluid silhouettes draped tunics, elongated hemlines, and softer fabrics that moved with ease. But the softness never felt fragile. Instead, it signalled confidence- a comfort with self-expression that doesn’t need rigid structure to validate it.
We have handpicked our 10 standout fits from Menswear Weekend. Have a dekko!
