Tanishq, India’s most celebrated jewelry brand, returned to New York Fashion Week with a powerful showcase alongside designer Bibhu Mohapatra. Building on the success of their debut partnership, this season marks a powerful continuation of their shared vision: where timeless craftsmanship meets modern couture, paying tribute to the strength and elegance of women everywhere. The Spring 2026 NYFW collection was held at the Pierre Hotel in the heart of Manhattan on September 15th.
For this second collaboration, Tanishq and Bibhu paid tribute to women who have shaped history and continue to inspire the present. Mohapatra’s designs—an ode to visionaries of 20th-century India—were elevated by Tanishq’s artistry. For Tanishq, this collaboration was a natural extension of its philosophy – to honor the woman behind every story and to bring India’s legendary craftsmanship onto the world’s most iconic stages.
Each jewel echoed Tanishq’s mission: to celebrate women’s individuality, legacy, and leadership across generations. This partnership reflects a shared belief: that jewelry and fashion are not merely adornment, but powerful expressions of identity, heritage, and progress. By bringing together Bibhu’s couture vision and Tanishq’s artistry, this collaboration celebrates women not only as muses of history, but as leaders, creators, and changemakers of today. Over 65 exquisite pieces, from the Romance of Polki revival of uncut diamonds to the Enchanted Trails nature-inspired line and Lure, a fresh take on pearls, were curated into the show.
“Tanishq USA is honored to continue strengthening our partnership with an iconic designer like Bibhu Mohapatra. Bibhu’s work, like our own, honors tradition while embracing the modern, creating pieces that tell stories of heritage, resilience, and beauty. Together, we hope to celebrate craftsmanship that transcends generations while connecting with today’s global community in a way that feels both timeless and deeply personal. Amrit Pal Singh, Business Head, Tanishq USA
Bibhu’s Spring 2026 collection combined traditional silhouettes and modern takes on cult favorites. Looks ranged from cargo pants and kurta to embellished tops and gowns. Eveningwear stole the show as it established the designer as a master of drape and detail. Bibhu Mohapatra has been a celebrated name in the global fashion world for decades, dressing iconic figures such as Michelle Obama, Jennifer Lopez, Priyanka Chopra, Deepika Padukone, and Viola Davis.
Similarly, Tanishq has become India’s most trusted jewelry brand, renowned for designs that are globally relevant yet deeply rooted in heritage. With eight locations across the United States, Tanishq continues to expand its presence as a leader in fine jewelry—bringing India’s legendary craftsmanship to new audiences. And with its return to New York Fashion Week, Tanishq reaffirms its place not just on the world’s most iconic stages, but at the forefront of jewelry design worldwide.
“It is a joy to collaborate once more with Tanishq Jewelry for Spring 2026, a partnership that feels less like an alliance and more like a shared language of beauty. Together, we celebrate the modern woman as a luminous force—resilient as the ocean, radiant as the moon, and timeless as the jewels she adorns. My designs and Tanishq’s creations meet at the intersection of heritage and innovation, weaving a narrative of strength, grace, and eternal allure. In this union, every piece becomes not just an ornament, but a testament to the brilliance of the feminine spirit.” – Bibhu Mohapatra
