The House of Valaya’s brand-new collection, BARODA, honors the Couture season of 2023–2024. A combination of fine craftsmanship and classy fashion statements that are revealed through its three signature interpretations (chapters). The collection is divided into three chapters: Art Deco, Nomade, and Royale. In the first chapter, “Art Deco,” the collection explores a fusion based on the craft of Lipan but interpreted in a medley of art deco lines and Mughal inlay motifs; it then moves on to the second chapter, “Nomade,” where Kutch motifs and mirror work rule, though in a modern avatar; and the third and final chapter, “Royale,”
For the season of 2023–2024, a bridal and couture collection for women and men is created using the finest silky and unique weave fabrics enriched with our signature embroidery. “This season, I made the decision to research Gujarat’s history, digging out a past that is both fascinating and motivating. Although Gujarat, like the majority of India, has a history that dates back to the Stone Age, I found it fascinating that during the 16th through the 19th centuries, it was a part of the Mughal Empire, the Maratha Empire, and then was under the control of colonial powers before, of course, India attained its independence. A journey that was so varied left beautiful imprints on the landscape, and the resulting multiculturalism serves as the motivating inspiration for my Fall/Winter 23–24 collection, BARODA.” J.J.
