Designer Dhruv Kapoor built his Spring 2027 collection around an unlikely muse: the wear and weathering that most fashion tries to erase. Rather than chase pristine newness, he set out to capture what time does to things — the fade, the crease, the beauty in something visibly lived-in. It's a quiet argument that decay has its own elegance, one worth putting on a runway rather than covering up.
