Sculpting Glamour

OPPO Presents Namrata Joshipura at Lakmē Fashion Week 2026

The designer unveils OBSIDIAN, a striking exploration of dark glamour, sculptural silhouettes and metallic artistry.

OPPO presents Namrata Joshipura at Lakmē Fashion Week in partnership with the Fashion Design Council of India (FDCI), where the designer will unveil her latest collection, OBSIDIAN, on 16 October at 9:30 PM at The Runway, Taj Palace, New Delhi.

Rooted in the interplay of light and shadow, OBSIDIAN brings a fresh perspective to contemporary eveningwear. Known for her distinctive approach to modern glamour, Joshipura works with a palette of deep blacks, molten metallics and gilded accents to create a collection that is both dramatic and refined.

Her signature elongated jumpsuits take centre stage alongside sculpted evening silhouettes that balance structure with fluid movement. High-shine surfaces catch the light against the depth of black, while intricate embroidery, three-dimensional embellishments, metallic threads and sculptural florals lend richness to the designs. The result is a considered interplay of texture, craftsmanship and form, with each element contributing to the collection’s visual impact.

OBSIDIAN is designed for the woman who embraces statement dressing with confidence. Rather than relying on excess, the collection finds its strength in precise detailing, strong silhouettes and an assured approach to evening style.

A Meeting of Fashion and Technology

The collaboration brings together two industries shaped by creativity and innovation. Through its association with Namrata Joshipura, OPPO extends its design-led approach to the runway, exploring the connection between technology, aesthetics and personal expression.

Commenting on the collaboration, Sunil Sethi, Chairman, Fashion Design Council of India (FDCI), said, “Fashion today extends well beyond the runway, and collaborations that bring together technology, innovation and design are an important part of that evolution. We are pleased to have OPPO join the fashion week landscape with Namrata Joshipura, whose distinctive contemporary aesthetic makes this collection a compelling expression of modern glamour.”

Mr. Nishant Ranjan, Head of Digital Marketing at OPPO India, said, “Great technology, much like great fashion, begins with a distinct point of view on design and evolves into a powerful form of self-expression. That shared philosophy is what makes our association with Namrata Joshipura so meaningful. OBSIDIAN is bold, contemporary and uncompromising in its design language, making it a fitting expression of OPPO’s debut at Lakmē Fashion Week in partnership with FDCI. At OPPO, we believe in creating experiences that feel true to who you are and give people the freedom to make their moment their own. This association is a celebration of that spirit — where technology, design and individuality come together.”

Namrata Joshipura, Designer, said, “I’m delighted to collaborate with OPPO, a brand that brings together technology and a distinctly contemporary approach to design. What makes this partnership exciting is the shared belief that innovation should not only be experienced, but felt — making technology a meaningful part of the moment.”

The OPPO Presents Namrata Joshipura showcase will take place on 16 October 2026 at 9:30 PM at The Runway, Taj Palace, New Delhi, as part of Lakmē Fashion Week in partnership with FDCI.

Show details: 16 October 2026 | 9:30 PM | The Runway, Taj Palace, New Delhi.
