Mahesh Notandass and Vandals served as the official jewellery partners for designer duo Rohit Gandhi + Rahul Khanna’s Noir Botanica presentation, held at Galeries Lafayette Mumbai on August 20.

Jewellery from both houses was worn by Rohit Gandhi and Rahul Khanna, as well as models walking the presentation, complementing the collection’s sculptural silhouettes, metallic surfaces and architectural detailing.

Rather than a conventional runway, the evening was conceived as an immersive fashion experience. Galeries Lafayette Mumbai was transformed into an intimate setting inspired by jazz and the glamour of 1930s evening culture, allowing guests to experience the craftsmanship, textures and construction of the garments up close. Actor Vijay Varma closed the presentation, adding a striking finale to the evening.

The event drew a notable gathering of celebrities and fashion personalities, including Kajol, Babil Khan, Mahima Makwana, Pragya Jaiswal, Gurfateh Pirzada, Sophie Choudhry, Sarah-Jane Dias, Shalini Passi, Zayed Khan and Ruhee Dosani, among others.

Vandana M. Jagwani, Creative Director at Mahesh Notandass and Founder of Vandals, graced the occasion, marking the coming together of the two jewellery houses with Rohit Gandhi + Rahul Khanna for the Noir Botanica presentation.

The collaboration highlights the growing intersection of fine jewellery and contemporary fashion, with Mahesh Notandass and Vandals bringing their distinct jewellery aesthetics to a collection centred on strong silhouettes, craftsmanship, texture and modern evening dressing.

The Noir Botanica capsule will be available following the presentation at Rohit Gandhi + Rahul Khanna stores and Galeries Lafayette Mumbai.
