Twilight Gold | Eiffel Tower, Paris
Few settings are as iconic as the Eiffel Tower, and Twilight Gold found its perfect stage atop one of the world's most celebrated landmarks. Presented in Paris at the magical hour of twilight, the collection unfolded just as the Eiffel Tower began its signature illumination, sparkling against the evening sky and creating an unforgettable runway experience.
Inspired by the romance and elegance of Paris, Twilight Gold featured beautifully crafted skirts paired with contemporary crop tops, each adorned with intricate gold tissue floral appliqué. The painstaking handwork and luminous textures reflected the soft glow of dusk, bringing together timeless craftsmanship and modern femininity.
As the tower shimmered with thousands of lights, the collection came alive in a breathtaking celebration of couture, artistry, and the enchantment of the City of Light. Twilight Gold remains one of Poonam Bhagat's most memorable international showcases—where fashion, architecture, and a magical Parisian evening came together in perfect harmony.
A Slice of Samarkand & A Bite of Bukhara
Presented at Lakmé Fashion Week Spring/Summer 2013, A Slice of Samarkand & A Bite of Bukhara is one of Poonam Bhagat's most celebrated collections and continues to be an enduring inspiration for Taika by Poonam Bhagat.
Inspired by the rich textiles, intricate Suzani embroideries, and vibrant cultural heritage of Samarkand and Bukhara, Uzbekistan, the collection beautifully blended traditional craftsmanship with contemporary silhouettes. The inspiration stemmed from Poonam Bhagat's visit to Tashkent in 2002, where she first encountered the region's remarkable textile artistry.
The collection received widespread appreciation on the runway and was later adorned by celebrated personalities including Sonam Kapoor, Karisma Kapoor, and Neha Dhupia. Even today, the timeless appeal of the Samarkand collection continues to inspire bespoke creations, making it one of the brand's most iconic and cherished design stories.
Abstract Expression
Presented at Wills Lifestyle India Fashion Week, Abstract Expression was a vibrant celebration of art, movement, and individuality. Set against the timeless soundtrack of Elvis Presley crooning in the background, the runway came alive with an energetic and playful spirit, making it one of the collection's most memorable showcases.
Inspired by the expressive nature of abstract art, the collection featured bold geometric patterns, dynamic lines, striking colour blocking, and fluid silhouettes that transformed each garment into a wearable canvas. Blending contemporary aesthetics with impeccable craftsmanship, every look reflected confidence, creativity, and effortless sophistication.
More than just a fashion show, Abstract Expression was an immersive runway experience—where music, art, and fashion came together to celebrate fearless self-expression and modern design.
Constellations | Fashion Week 2015
Presented at Lakmé Fashion Week Autumn/Winter 2015, Constellations was a captivating collection inspired by Pablo Picasso's lesser-known cerographs—a series of celestial artworks that explore stars, constellations, and the beauty of the night sky. Drawing inspiration from this overlooked chapter of Picasso's artistic journey, Poonam Bhagat transformed fine art into contemporary fashion.
The collection unfolded through a sophisticated palette of black and white, symbolising the vastness of the night sky, alongside deep cobalt blues accented with vibrant orange, evoking the final glow of a setting sun. Featuring contemporary Western silhouettes—including dresses, skirts, tops, and asymmetrical hemlines—the garments were brought to life with intricate embroidery and appliqué, creating a striking interplay of texture, movement, and artistic expression. One of the defining highlights of the collection was its extraordinary headpieces, specially created by renowned Japanese milliner Satsuki Naga. Crafted from delicate wire structures adorned with shimmering crystals, the bespoke headgear beautifully captured the magic of constellations, adding a dreamlike dimension to the runway presentation.
A seamless fusion of art, craftsmanship, and innovation, Constellations was widely appreciated for its distinctive concept, meticulous detailing, and modern interpretation of celestial beauty, making it one of Poonam Bhagat's most memorable runway collections.
