Chandigarh: Fashion is more than what we wear; it is a reflection of who we are, the stories we carry and the choices that define our individuality. At The Front Row’s Rani Bagh 2026, this idea found expression in a vibrant celebration of design, craftsmanship and contemporary luxury at Novotel Chandigarh on Friday.

Curated by entrepreneurs Chandni Pahwa and Sahiba Brar, the exhibition welcomed an enthusiastic gathering of shoppers, fashion enthusiasts and design-conscious visitors. Featuring more than 80 designer labels from across India, this year’s edition presented a diverse world of couture, occasion wear, jewellery, accessories, luxury home décor and festive gifting.
As the festive and wedding season approaches, the exhibition offered visitors an opportunity to look beyond conventional shopping and explore collections that reflected personal taste and distinctive design sensibilities. From intricate detailing and statement accessories to contemporary silhouettes, every category presented new possibilities for refreshing festive wardrobes.
What made Rani Bagh stand apart was the thought behind its curation. Rather than bringing together brands solely for their popularity, Sahiba and Chandni focused on designers whose work reflects creativity, craftsmanship and individuality. The result was a carefully assembled showcase connecting shoppers with both established names and emerging talent from different parts of the country.
For the co-founders, the exhibition represents a larger vision of making distinctive design more accessible to Chandigarh’s discerning audience. The overwhelming response to this year’s edition reinforced the city’s growing interest in premium shopping experiences that combine discovery with quality.
Throughout the day, visitors explored exclusive collections, engaged with designers and discovered pieces suited to celebrations, weddings and thoughtful gifting. The lively atmosphere reflected how shopping exhibitions are evolving into spaces where consumers can connect with the people and creative processes behind the products they choose.
With its largest curation to date, The Front Row’s Rani Bagh 2026 continues to strengthen Chandigarh’s place in North India’s fashion and lifestyle landscape.
Beyond the collections and shopping bags, the exhibition celebrated something more meaningful: the relationship between creativity and personal expression. In a season defined by new beginnings and celebrations, Rani Bagh offered Chandigarh not just more choices, but new ways to discover its own sense of style.
