At the Vanity Fair Oscars after-party, Isha Ambani wore a custom Swadesh x Dilara Findikoglu look crafted from handwoven Banarasi brocade, bringing together Victorian dress codes and Kashi textile history. A corseted, short-sleeve jacket cut close through the waist, with a high neck and a central panel of black ruffled trim that ran down the bodice like antique lace. Beneath the sheer black organza overlay, the gold brocade caught the light in muted flashes, while dark beading and shadowy linear textures gave the surface a smoked, burnished richness.

The fitted skirt carried that same tension between transparency and gleam, skimming the body before falling into a dipped hem with organza volume and tulle at the back. From a distance, the palette read almost sepia; up close, the textile did the real work. The Banarasi brocade was woven in Varanasi on a traditional pit loom using Indian mulberry silk and light gold zari, with motifs inspired by the geometry of historic Banarasi windows and executed through the Do Dama technique.
