Patola, but make it steel: Rimzim Dadu bus and how to do it
Designer Rimzim Dadu’s show stood out for several reasons in India Coucher Week 2025. One of them is how he resumed Patola using his signature metal cloth.

Although Rimazim Dadu is a force in Indian fashion for 17 years, it was only in 2023 that he brought his signature melted magic to India’s Couture Week. In the India Coucher Week 2025, his show is the most discussed in the annual fashion Extravaganza.
This credit goes to his mastery in converting unconventional materials such as steel, silicon, paper, metal wires, and razor-skinny cords into wearable coucher. His works flicker like metal, but walks like a cloth, making them immediately recognizable.
It is obtained through a labor-intensive process of decomposing a material, snatched into wires (almost like yarn), working to give movement and tenderness on it, and finally weaves it back together to make an art coucher.
In the recently concluded Hyundai India Couture Week 2025, Dadu took things a step forward. He unveiled a collection, in which the traditional patola of Gujarat weaved its signature metal textile techniques.

The model carried the ramp in saris and bandgalas, which featured bold, geometric patola motifs. Rimzim Dadu used his signature Koring technique, which was to craft pointed sarees with a structured palace, which echoed the intensity of traditional weaving. The male model layered the kurta set with a jacket – her contemporary interpretation of Patola.

Dadu said, “We take inspiration from amazing clothes like Patola and Jamdani, but we do not copy them. We re -connect them to our clothes and try to give them a new perspective, which you will see a lot in this collection,” Dadu said. Today India First in an interview.
For Oxin, his new collection, he took inspiration from the Banjara tribes of Gujarat: his reflective textiles, bold vivies and oxidized jewelery. Some pieces, such as Shostopper Khushi Kapoor’s silver blouse and skirt, were inspired by a complex link to traditional payments to echo the raw elegance of Banjara jewelery in a bold, modern form.

Rimazim Dadu’s Signature Steel Sari, who first attracted attention when Sonam Kapoor wore it at the Cannes Film Festival in 2016, continues to develop with each collection. This time, he introduced Draps and Palace, which included complex cutwork passley patterns.

Another reason is that Rimzim Dadu’s ICW 2025 show stood out, he was not completely down to wear the wedding. For sarees and lehengas-that, we should add, are a big hit among modern brides for cocktails and wedding reception events, the designer showed non-wedding coture pieces such as sculpture harem pants, corsets, mini dresses and blazer sets.

You can’t remember this look, sheer black stocking with Dadu’s metallic passley motif was elevated! I meet Punk Patola, we say!

The designer’s focus on shoes and bags was a visible-focus, and there was also an extension of clothes such as his art.

Although Rimzim Dadu launched his label in October 2007, initially under My Village name (later Rimzim Dadu was shortened), he has constantly made special uniqueness and textile innovation at the core of his brand from the beginning.
