Sharvari took centre stage at Art Mumbai, walking as the muse for Abu Jani Sandeep Khosla's "Disco Inferno" show. The designers staged it at Mahalaxmi Racecourse, and the actress stood out in two very different looks.
The designers have always loved all things extravagant. Their couture house has shaped Indian fashion with glamorous takes on traditional hand embroidery. This show came after their 40th brand anniversary in August, which also saw the launch of their new flagship store Mubarak Baug and Iconic Jewels, their debut jewellery line.
What Was Disco Inferno About?
As the name suggests, the show reimagined the disco era of the '70s and '80s through the designers' maximalist eyes. It was not just about western disco. It also nodded to the synthesiser-driven grooves closer to home, which had a whole generation hooked on rhythm, sparkle and style.
Sharvari's Looks
Sharvari walked the ramp as the muse of the evening in a multi-colour Swarovski crystal and stone dress, inspired by the house's "Raj" collection. The short, jewelled dress was finished with hanging crystal tassels along the hem and sleeves.
She also wore a red concept drape sari with a crystal and stone blouse, layered with scintillating stone chains.
The Setting
The designers' art and decor vertical, A Wonder Room, created the atmosphere. Disco balls were scattered across the space, reflecting the racecourse facade, which was specially lit to form the backdrop for the show.
The highlight was "Rani", a 20-foot-tall, elephant-inspired art installation. Named after the Hindi word for queen, it pays homage to Mumbai and its legendary zoo, Rani Baug, and to the city where Abu and Sandeep first met. It mixes the glitz of '80s disco with the showgirl look of Indian cinema cabaret, and is decorated with mirror-work, gota and disco balls.

What The Designers Said
Abu Jani and Sandeep Khosla said, "Disco Inferno is our youth immortalised and Sharvari made it incredibly special. All our memories reinvented with our current perspective felt like a joyride through time. The clothes, the original music and 'Rani' are not just statements of style, but also declarations of joyous living."
With disco balls, a towering "Rani" and Sharvari in full sparkle, the show turned Art Mumbai into a night of pure maximalism, and a fitting follow-up to the designers' 40th-year celebrations.
