AKHL in ELLE India September 2026 Issue. Redefining traditional adornment as a language of intimacy, presence, and power for South Asian women. Daniel Amaze explores this idea through a visual language where tradition, femininity, and self-expression come together.
Seen above - The Tensile Sequins Dress. Crafted in hand-dyed gradient metallic-tulle, hand-embroidered with draped traditional ‘Naka-Tiki’ fringes, finished with metallic hand-twisted and hand-embroidered ‘Badla’ tapes on the edges.
