LONDON — Fashion Week and the City hosted the London debut of Dubai-born menswear label Varoin Marwah, showcasing the designer’s Autumn/Winter 2026 collection, Monarch, to British press and buyers.
The presentation marked the UK introduction for a house that has spent more than a decade establishing its presence across the Middle East and India, earning a client list that includes prominent figures in Hindi cinema.
Designed around a philosophy of quiet authority and dignified presence, the collection blends Western tailoring—including tuxedos, suits, blazers, and shackets—with traditional and contemporary Indian formalwear, such as sherwanis, kurtas, bandi sets, and Indo-Western silhouettes.

The visual narrative transitions across a color palette of cream, maroon, chocolate brown, and black. Technically, the AW26 lineup is defined by its hand-executed metallic embellishments, featuring custom embroidery built from metal thread, chainwork, and rigid structural materials tailored look by look under the brand’s guiding principle: Made, not manufactured.
“Monarch isn’t about wearing a crown. It’s about the kind of man who doesn’t need one to be recognised as one,” said designer Varoin Marwah. “Every piece was built by hand — the metal, the chain, the thread — because that’s the only way to make something that holds its authority quietly. London hasn’t seen this collection, or this house, before. I’m glad it gets to see it first.”
The showcase was produced by Fashion Week and the City (FWTC), an international production platform operating across London, New York, and Paris. FWTC has staged events for more than 300 emerging and established designers in collaboration with over 100 industry partners, generating over 200 media features globally.
