A Canvas of Memory, Craft and Living Art

There are collections that arrive like a season. And then there are collections that arrive like a memory — sudden, specific, carrying the particular weight of a place you have been, a surface you once touched, a garden you walked through slowly enough to remember.

SS 2026 is the second kind.

It begins, as most things at Yavi do, not with a brief or a trend report, but with a feeling. The feeling of standing on a tiled floor in Lisbon and understanding, without quite knowing why, that the pattern beneath your feet deserves to outlast the building it belongs to. 

The feeling of walking through a Kolkata market before noon — the colour, the abundance, the way the everyday dissolves into something almost painterly when you look long enough. The feeling of finding an old sketchbook filled with jewellery drawings and handwritten notes, and realising that someone else’s archive can become your own.

Yadvi Agarwal has always collected these feelings. SS 2026 is what happens when she wears them.

Across 19 stories, the collection moves through worlds both intimate and vast. Bouquet Story opens the season with hand-drawn irises, peonies and daisies blooming across olive-toned canvases — each flower chosen not for decoration but for meaning. Courage. Joy. Romance. Renewal. Garden of Grace deepens this language, finding quiet emotion in Cornus Florida and Viola Odorata, in the kind of florals that speak before you’ve finished looking at them.

From the garden, the collection travels.

Curious Stamp arranges hand-illustrated motifs like pages torn from a travel journal, each one capturing the particular restlessness of someone who moves through the world with both eyes open. Carrelage du Marais finds structure in the vintage playing cards of old Parisian interiors, their rich reds and greens now woven into something wearable. Toile de Jouy carries the azulejo tiles of Lisbon into soft ombré surfaces, flowing illustrations that translate an entire city’s cultural heritage through Yavi’s unmistakably painterly lens.

And yet the collection never forgets where it came from.

Painted Abstract Forest captures a wilderness through mood rather than form — layered brushstrokes and textured marks that evoke tangled roots and wind-swept canopies without ever becoming literal. Atelier Collage tears vintage prints apart and reassembles them with fluid watercolour splashes, its frayed edges a deliberate celebration of the raw, unfinished quality of a studio mid-creation. Vintage Wallpaper finds beauty in faded walls and timeworn frescoes, in the soft motifs that emerge from forgotten interiors like fragments of a life once lived.

Every piece in SS 2026 is made to be felt before it is understood.

The fabrics are chosen for this. Cotton Voile that moves like breath. Habutai Silk that carries light the way water does. Cupro that falls without effort. Organza that holds form without weight. Khadi that remembers the hands that made it. Each textile selected not for its appearance on a hanger but for what it does on a body — how it drapes, how it breathes, how it allows a print to live rather than merely exist.

Because at Yavi, a garment is never just a garment.

It is a quiet archive of emotion and creativity. It is a garden remembered. A city tiled in colour. A forest felt rather than seen. A sketchbook that couldn’t stay closed. It is the particular kind of clothing that changes how you move through the world — not because it makes you visible, but because it makes you feel.

SS 2026 is nineteen ways of saying that.

Slowly. Deliberately. Beautifully.
