A leading global jewelry brand, Tanishq returned to New York Fashion Week in collaboration with designer Bibhu Mohapatra, marking their third time working together.

“This collaboration strengthens Tanishq’s focus on positioning jewelry as a core design element within global fashion,” said Amrit Pal Singh, Business Head, Tanishq USA.

Tanishq’s statement necklaces, long earrings, gold arm cuffs, and large diamond pieces sparkled with every step. The jewelry was not just an accessory—it was a key part of the collection’s story.

“For Fall 2026, we curated pieces from across our design heritage to integrate directly with Bibhu Mohapatra’s silhouettes to demonstrate how craftsmanship and contemporary couture can function as one cohesive medium. Partnerships like this allow us to present Tanishq to international audiences in a context that highlights both innovation and legacy,” Singh added.

Tanishq and Mohapatra presented a collection that mirrors fashion’s current evolution, where cultural craft informs present-day luxury. The selected runway pieces reflected generations of artistry – each piece of jewelry was chosen to match the design of the garments, enhancing the models’ movement on the runway.

“I continue to collaborate with Tanishq, because our partnership is rooted in celebrating India’s artistic legacy and bringing it to the world,” Bibhu Mohapatra. “For my new collection, inspired by the Brahmavadini, this integration felt more like a natural convergence of two houses honoring our heirloom traditions while expressing
them through a modern and global lens. This collaboration distinctly presents a vision of luxury that is rooted in heritage but is also extremely forward-facing.”
