When Dhruv Kapoor took a bow at his Milan Fashion Week (MFW) Spring/Summer 2025 Co-Ed show on June 17, he hinted at just that. The Delhi designer anchored his all-red set-piece around a giant inflatable bunny with floppy ears—a whimsical homage to childhood nostalgia that infused the collection with a slouchy, youthful and insouciant energy. This playful motif adorned outfits like a two-piece denim ensemble, a cosy pyjama set with bunnies appliquéd, and an embroidered LBD with a sweetheart neckline.

“We stumbled upon this expansive industrial space at Via Tortona, 27, and I wanted to inject a lively carnival vibe that triggers nostalgia. The bunny idea comes from my own childhood—I had a beige teddy named Junior—but I chose a red bunny for impact,” explains Kapoor, 35, speaking from Milan.
