Indian cricketer Abhishek Sharma made his regal fashion debut on JJ Valaya’s runway at FDCI’s Hyundai India Couture Week 2025, in association with Reliance Brands.
Abhishek Sharma opened the show looking suave in a stunning Nehru jacket from JJ Valaya’s EAST, a royal nomadic journey through time, culture and couture. The intricately embroidered Nehru jacket was brought to life with delicate silk threadwork and fine bead embellishments.
As Abhishek walked like royalty through the Crystal Ballroom of JW Marriott, Aerocity, New Delhi, which celebrated JJ Valaya’s creative vision, the jacket exuded quiet opulence through its striking Oriental flora and fauna print. The jacket was enriched with a medley of artisanal techniques from shimmering zari and Resham embroidery to the use of beads, crystals, stones, and bugle beads.
The design was further elevated with mixed sequin zardozi that added a touch of opulence. Paired with a custom-printed silk kurta, JJ Valaya’s ensemble is a celebration of craftsmanship, texture, and detail. And Abhishek honoured the look with panache.
