NEW YORK — Tanishq returned to the runway at New York Fashion Week for the Fall 2026 season, continuing its collaboration with designer Bibhu Mohapatra and marking the third partnership between the two brands.
The showcase highlighted bold necklaces, dangling earrings, gold arm cuffs and large-scale diamond pieces that took center stage alongside Mohapatra’s latest collection. Rather than serving as accessories, the jewelry was integrated into the structure and storytelling of the garments, influencing movement and posture on the runway.
The collaboration reflects an ongoing effort to position jewelry as a central design element within global fashion. Tanishq curated pieces drawn from its design heritage to complement Mohapatra’s silhouettes, blending traditional craftsmanship with contemporary couture.
“This collaboration strengthens Tanishq’s focus on positioning jewelry as a core design element within global fashion,” said Amrit Pal Singh, business head of Tanishq USA. “For Fall 2026, we curated pieces from across our design heritage to integrate directly with Bibhu Mohapatra’s silhouettes, demonstrating how craftsmanship and contemporary couture can function as one cohesive medium.”

Mohapatra’s Fall 2026 collection was inspired by the concept of the Brahmavadini, a reference to women revered for their wisdom and spiritual knowledge in ancient Indian texts. He described the partnership as a natural convergence rooted in heritage and expressed through a modern, global lens.
“I continue to collaborate with Tanishq because our partnership is rooted in celebrating India’s artistic legacy and bringing it to the world,” Mohapatra said. “This collaboration distinctly presents a vision of luxury that is rooted in heritage but is also extremely forward-facing.”
The runway presentation underscored Tanishq’s expanding footprint in the United States and its efforts to strengthen its position in the global luxury market. Together, the brands presented a collection that reflects fashion’s evolving landscape, where cultural craftsmanship and contemporary design intersect on an international stage.
