On the model — the Cannes 2026 ensemble

Cannes Film Festival 2026

Cannes, 2026

Hand-embroidered ensembles on the Croisette — among them L'Âme Noire, a fluid black silhouette anchored by a hand-crafted golden heart. Where stillness meets strength.

From a pencil sketch in Mumbai to the Croisette.

The signature

Nature, rendered in thread.

Bees, beetles, dragonflies, roses. Each motif is embroidered by hand in the Mumbai atelier — hours of needlework in every piece. The canvas stays quiet so the craft can speak.

The designer

From Saiyaara to the Croisette.

Audiences first met Mohit Wadhwa on screen in Saiyaara. At Cannes 2026, they met his other language — thread. Every piece leaves the atelier made to order, by appointment.
