Mumbai, June 20, 2026 – Some collections are launched. Others are lived. On June 18, Caprese returned with the second chapter of its signature property, Fashion Fete, bringing together fashion, culture and immersive storytelling for an evening inspired by the evolving world of Emily in Paris (©2026 Viacom International Inc.

First introduced two years ago, Fashion Fete was envisioned as more than an unveiling platform. It was created as a space where collections could be experienced rather than simply viewed, allowing guests to step into the stories that inspire them. Following the success of its inaugural Emily in Paris-themed edition, this year’s chapter picked up where the story left off, drawing inspiration from Emily’s newest adventures and bringing a touch of Paris to Mumbai.
Hosted at Sweeney, Khar, the evening unfolded like a European/ Parisian summer escape. Guests were welcomed by a vintage Vespa before stepping into a café-inspired setting complete with Parisian-inspired cocktails, themed menus and immersive installations. At the heart of the experience sat the latest Emily in Paris x Caprese collection, showcased not as a display but as part of the world it was designed to inhabit.
Throughout the evening, guests moved between thoughtfully curated experiences, including a bespoke perfume station where they created personalized fragrances, a live charm-making counter crafting keepsakes on demand, and multiple photo moments designed to capture the spirit of the collection. Adding to the experience, Zoya Gin served signature cocktails that encouraged guests to linger, connect, and soak in the atmosphere.
“The Fashion Fete has always been Caprese’s way of telling a story rather than making an announcement. Two years ago, that story was Paris, and the response told us something important: Indian women don’t just consume global culture, they claim it. So this year, when it was time to write the next chapter, Paris-Rome always felt inevitable. Emily in Paris, and now Rome, isn’t just a show to us, it’s a particular kind of confidence, a way of moving through the world that our woman has always recognized in herself. Caprese has always believed the right bag doesn’t just complete an outfit, it completes a feeling. This collection is our way of honouring that,”— Pushpita Gaur, Business Head, Caprese
Curated in partnership with Malini Agarwal, the evening welcomed creators, tastemakers and fashion enthusiasts, including Divija Gambhir, Shereen Sikka Riya Jain and others, who explored the collection through a celebration of travel, fashion, and contemporary Parisian-inspired style.
At its core, Fashion Fete reflects Caprese’s belief that fashion is never just about what you carry, but how it makes you feel. The Emily in Paris x Caprese collaboration captures the confidence, spontaneity and individuality that have made the series a cultural phenomenon, while continuing to resonate with the modern Caprese woman.
