New Delhi’s Khumaar by Shuchi Bhutani: Named as the Best Fashion Label of 2025

In a year brimming with innovation, inclusivity, and storytelling in fashion, one name stands out as a trailblazer in the Indian couture landscape: Khumaar by Shuchi Bhutani. This New Delhi-based fashion label has not only captured hearts across the country but also earned international acclaim, making it a deserving recipient of the title Best Fashion Brand of 2025.

Founded by designer Shuchi Bhutani, Khumaar was never meant to be just another fashion label. Built with the belief that clothing should not only drape the body but empower the spirit, the brand thrives on intentional design, handcrafted details, and storytelling rooted in Indian identity. Today, it operates with a close-knit team of 10–12 members, each contributing to design, marketing, production, and logistics.

“We’re not chasing trends — we’re creating a space where Indian women of all shapes feel seen, celebrated, and powerful,” says Bhutani.

Operating from its cozy yet chic studio in Tilak Nagar, Delhi, Khumaar continues to retail primarily through its official website. The brand embraces a made-to-order model — allowing clients to personalize their garments in both fit and detail, ensuring every creation is uniquely theirs.

Despite its niche approach, Khumaar’s vision is boldly global. In 2025, the brand launched Khumaar Luxe, its premium line, which debuted at London Fashion Week (Spring/Summer 2025) a proud turning point for the label’s international expansion.

Khumaar has found loyal admirers in Bollywood and beyond. From Gauahar Khan to Rashami Desai, Bharti Singh, and Ankita Singh, the label’s designs have been embraced by women who embody strength and individuality. Additionally, countless digital creators have amplified the brand’s voice, echoing its message of body positivity and homegrown elegance.

This year marked seven years of Khumaar — a deeply personal milestone for Bhutani. “Every thread we’ve sewn is a reminder of the grit behind this journey,” she shares. In tandem, being listed on Nykaa Luxe opened new digital doors for the brand, making its designs more accessible to customers across the country.

One standout moment in 2025 was the release of Rooted Reverie, a collection under Khumaar Luxe that mirrors Bhutani’s own evolution a tribute to resilience, rebirth, and fashion.

With over 3,500 clients served globally and a growing Instagram community of 30,000+ followers, Khumaar shows no signs of slowing down. The brand’s next chapter is deeply personal: designing for curvier Indian bodies, filling a long-standing void in the market with pieces that feel both comfortable and couture.

“We’re designing for the girl who wants to feel confident, not camouflaged,” Bhutani explains.

In an era where fashion often feels fast and fleeting, Khumaar by Shuchi Bhutani is a reminder that beauty lies in intention, tradition, and evolution. As 2025 comes to a close, Khumaar is more than a brand — it’s a movement stitched with soul.
