𝐒𝐡𝐢𝐛𝐚𝐧𝐢 𝐀𝐤𝐡𝐭𝐚𝐫 | 𝐕𝐞𝐥𝐨𝐫𝐚, 𝐑𝐞𝐝 𝐂𝐚𝐫𝐩𝐞𝐭 𝐂𝐨𝐮𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐞 @shibaniakhtar, A vision of soft power and fearless femininity 🩶 “Femininity, to me, is duality. It’s about blending something super androgynous with something very soft and feminine. When Shantnu & Nikhil design, it’s all about striking that balance, the ultimate combination of a rebel with romance.” — Shibani Akhtar Velora by Shantnu Nikhil Couture #ShantnuNikhil #ShantnuNikhilCouture #RedCarpetCouture #VelorabySN #LFW2025 #ShibaniAkhtar

As Shibani reflects, “To have someone with you in the quiet moments, making memories, growing and building…that kind of companion is really important,” showing that love thrives in attention to the little things.
